1943 dime what is it worth

Uncirculated: This is the grade given to those few coins that never spent any time in circulation. These coins were almost immediately put into safekeeping after they were minted, and because of that have managed to remain in tip-top shape. Naturally, these are some of the most sought after Mercury Dimes. Extremely Fine: If your coin is graded as being Extremely Fine, it is a piece that spent but only a short amount of time being circulated.

These coins will show some extremely light amounts of wear and tear on their surfaces, but for the most part will appear to be in perfect shape. Fine: If a coin is graded to be Fine, this means that it only incurred a light amount of damage during its time in circulation. When it comes down to it, these Mercury Dime are also relatively well-preserved. Good: A coin that receives the grade of Good is one that was circulated longer than any other Mercury Dime.

Having incurred a lot of damage during its time exchanging hands, a Good Mercury Dime will quite appropriately show its age. The damage present on these coins is so great that you may even be able to find chipping, bending, and other signs of extreme damage. For all Mercury Dimes, giving the coin a price is not such and easy task and is something that cannot be done without taking a few factors into consideration.

For one, you must consider the type of Dime it is. Because multiple versions of the Mercury Dime were minted most years, the scarcity of the Dime type you have is going to affect the price. Secondly, the condition means everything. If you have a Mercury Dime that is of high grade, it will sell for a much larger price than one in poor condition. Below is a chart that will give you a better idea of what you might be asked to pay for a Mercury Dime given its condition and type.
