Coin Collecting

[Hiway]

I'm not a real coin collector... but I have a bag of coins from around the world that I found interesting at one point and held onto!




So today at the bank, while depositing some change, I came across one of these...




(Winged Liberty dime, 1944)




Should I sell it or just put it back in my pocket?

With the wear I wouldn't expect it to have much numismatic value (though I'm hardly an expert in grading coins or just anything to do with US coins in general) but being a 1944 Mercury dime it's content is .900 silver. Its value will be slightly above the current silver spot price. The coin contains 2.25 grams of fine silver so a value at the time of writing of $1.13.




I think its worth keeping. I collect Canadian silver content coins. It is nice to be able to realize there was a time when money actually had value and wasn't just pulled out of thin air.

I collect ancient coins, mostly roman/greek types.  A lot of silver pieces, gets expensive quick going above that!
