Re: Collectable Coins

The second coin is a Barber (or "Mercury") Dime, 1937, no mint mark (which indicates it was made at the Philadelphia mint). From the pictures, I would say this coin is in fine to very fine condition, placing its value between 2 and 2.5 dollars.

Now, the third coin is a 1970 Roosevelt dime. And it's hard to tell from the picture, but the mintmark appears to be a "D", meaning that this coin is... worthless. It's actually not silver, but copper-nickel clad (silver dimes ceased to be produced for circulation in 1964). If, however, I'm wrong and the mintmark is an "S", then you have a 'broken' proof on your hands. Slightly more valuable, but still worth less than 75 cents.

The first coin, though... that one might be a real treat. I'm not well-versed in world coinage, so I did some internet research, and turned this up: http://www.coinfactswiki.com/wiki/French_Indochina_1899-A_10_cents

Now, that coin was clearly in much better condition than yours (the only to be graded at MS, ever!), but yours isn't in terrible condition. So if you're looking to sell, I'd recommend finding a local coin shop that deals in world coins and seeing what they'd appraise it at. I'd say it might be worth as much as $100.

Cheers!
