Why it matters

At 1,080,000 pieces, this is the lower-mintage half of the early-1920s low-mintage pair with 1921-P.

Values run consistently higher than the 1921-P counterpart at every grade (e.g., G-4 $85 vs. $65), consistent with its slightly lower mintage.

Buying a mercury dime

Condition drives price more than any other factor on a coin like this — two examples of the same date can be worth very different amounts depending on wear and authentication.

Grade before you price it

The value table above is organized by grade for a reason — a coin's condition, not just its date, sets where it lands on that range. If you're not sure how to grade, a seller's photos and description should call it out.

Check for authentication

A professionally graded (PCGS/NGC) example carries more certainty than a raw coin, and usually a small premium for it. Both are fine to buy — just factor grading into the price you're comparing.

Compare a few listings

Prices vary between individual sellers here, not one retailer's price list. Sort by price, check the seller's Metal Points and order history, and message the seller if photos don't show enough detail to grade confidently.
