There are some possible values for the 1916 dime on the following site. Mercury Dime Values It's true that the condition and mint mark makes a great difference as far as the monetary value for collectors it might have. There is a person on this site, namely Flying Blue Eagle, who has the most current information about coins such as the one about which you are asking. Hopefully, he will be along to respond to your post.

And mpelle, if you would like to post images here and might need some advise in doing so, I do know just the right person who can guide you in how to do that. It would be great if people asking questions about coins would post images of them on this site! Once I get a decent digital camera, I think that I will start to do that.

Mpelle - Did you find the mint mark on the dime,? If you have post it on this site and then I can tell you what it is worth GOD BLERSS :::: F.B.E.
