I won these with a lowball bid off eBay and just picked them up today. Ones from 1961, my birth year. I guess nobody else wanted them. With the crazy run up in silver, what are these 20 silver dimes worth today? They are all silver, a few merc’s but mostly Roosies, all have terminal toning but still look cool and original in the cards.

    $120 if they are all silver

    With the current silver price about $90 oz, you made out like a bandit

    Whether you think you can or, think you can't, you're right.

    If all are 90%, a rip indeed! Well done.

    Silver is $93.20 as I type this, Sunday night.
    Coinflation.com shows each dime has ~$6.74 of silver.

    $134.80 in silver content.

    Rip indeed ;)

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Probably someone who found these in their parent's belongings after death and just putting them out there without thinking...either because of grief or ignorance.

    The poor seller didn't know they were silver, or at least didn't indicate so in the ad. Thus not many eyeballs were on it, and as mentioned someone is probably just clearning out clutter and not researching each item.
