first of all i dont know second, i want to ask this question: How would you know it is a 1920 Mercury dime if the obverse was a penny? It sounds like you have a magician's coin made by cutting apart both a dime and a penny, and hollowing out one side of the penny so the dime side snaps into the penny side. It's interesting but has no value to a coin collector.

A good rule of thumb that most collector's use is to add half a cent for each year it's been in circulation. It's 2012 now, so 2012-1920= 92 years. 92 x 1/2= 46. So your 1920 dime should be worth about 56 cents.
