Best Answer

Far and away the scarcest and most famous Mercury dime is the 1916-D coin. Values range from over $1000 in very worn condition to over $15,000 in uncirculated condition.

In addition, some other scarce dates are 1921, 1921-D, 1926-S, and two "overdate" varieties resulting from re-cut dies: 1942 over 41 Philadelphia and Denver issues.
