Silver Dimes Quick Facts

Silver Dimes – Buy 90% Junk Silver Dimes & Compare Prices

Silver dimes are among the most popular forms of junk silver for investors and stackers. Minted by the U.S. Mint until 1964, these coins were struck in 90% silver and 10% copper, making them a low-cost, fractional way to hold silver.

Each dime contains 0.0715 troy ounces of silver, which means:

$1 face value (10 dimes) = 0.715 oz silver
$5 face value (50 dimes/roll) = 3.575 oz silver
$100 face value bag (1,000 dimes) = 71.5 oz silver

Because of their small size, silver dimes are flexible for bartering, easy to store, and typically available at some of the lowest premiums over spot.

Use FindBullionPrices.com to compare dealer pricing on Roosevelt, Mercury, and Barber silver dimes across multiple face value lots—from $1 FV rolls to $500 FV bags—to find the cheapest premiums online.
