Question
I just recently found a 1915 dime how much do you think it's wort?

Answer
A United States 1915 dime (also known as a Barber Dime, due to the name of the designer) is worth anywhere from $1.00 to a couple of hundred dollars depending on condition.  If your coin is well circulated and has no damage, it's worth about $2-$3 or so.  If it's lightly circulated, most details show and might have some original mint luster remaining, it's in the $17-$40+ range.  If it has never been circulated with full mint luster, it could be worth $80-$??? depending on exact condition.  For a better sense of value you might want to post good pictures of both sides of the coin on a local internet forum such as Coin Community (coincommunity.com).

Expertise

I specialize in U.S. three-cent nickels, but also close behind them are U.S. two-cent pieces, three-cent silver, and twenty cent pieces. Also, I have a bit of experience in the area of U.S. Early Proofs (19th century). However, I can possibly assist in most questions regarding U.S. Type coins.

Experience

I have read virtually everything I can find in print on the areas of U.S. 2-3-20 cent pieces. I have written articles on three-cent coins and Early Proofs published (or will be published) in Coin World.
