Do you have a spare dime? It could be worth more than $1 million.

While it may not be a secret that $2 bills are rare and valuable, it’s not the only currency worth more than its face value. Dimes, America’s smallest coin, can be worth some big bucks.

What are some more valuable dimes?

• 1874-CC Liberty Seated Dime: $5,000
• 1914-D Mercury Dime worth more than $3,000.
• 1916-D Mercury Dime worth more than $10,000.
• 1968-S no-S proof Roosevelt Dime worth $7,500.
• 1975 no-S Roosevelt Dime sold for about $450,000.

How to determine if my coin is valuable

Obviously, the older a dime is, the more valuable it is. So, definitely be on the look out for any from the 19th or early 20th centuries.

Gainesville Coins says to keep an eye out for all pre-1965 Roosevelt dimes because they contain a 90% silver composition and are worth much more than the face value. Currency with mistakes can also be worth a lot, so be on the lookout for modern dimes without the S mark.

Here are some more tips from Gardening Soul:

1. Use a magnifying glass to inspect the date, mintmark, and overall condition of the coin.
2. Consult a coin expert for a professional evaluation.
3. Reference Online Resources: Websites like the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) or PCGS CoinFacts can help you assess a coin’s value.
4. Get It Graded: Send your coin to a certified grading service to determine its official condition and market value.
