Sell Mercury Dimes in Royal Oak, MI — Top Cash Paid at Westland Exchange
Mercury dimes (1916–1945) are 90% silver and one of the most beautiful American designs. Most are common-date silver, but the 1916-D is a legitimate rarity and full-split-bands examples carry big premiums. We check dates and mint marks before any Mercury dime is treated as bullion.
Royal Oak sits about 23 miles from our counter — roughly 31 minutes door to door. Take I-696 west to M-39 south, exit Warren Ave, then west. If you are starting near Detroit Zoo and Downtown Royal Oak, it is a straight, easy run with no downtown traffic to fight.
Royal Oak customers sell us luxury watches, designer jewelry and diamonds. We handle high-value pieces discreetly and pay on current market.
Selling mercury dimes here rather than shipping it away means you see the scale, you see the test, and you leave with cash in hand instead of waiting on a mailed check from an out-of-state refiner. Royal Oak customers do this every week, and most of them tell us the drive was shorter than they expected.
We are open monday – friday 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM and saturday 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM. Bring a valid photo ID — Michigan law requires it for any pawn or purchase — along with the mercury dimes itself, and the whole visit usually takes a few minutes.

FAQ
Selling mercury dimes in Royal Oak — answered.
Is the 1916-D Mercury dime really that valuable?+
Yes — it's a genuine key date worth far more than silver in any condition. It's also heavily counterfeited, so we authenticate carefully before quoting.
Are all Mercury dimes silver?+
Yes, every Mercury dime from 1916 to 1945 is 90% silver.
Should I get my dimes graded before selling?+
