Best Answer

Presuming that you are referring to US dimes issued between 1875 and 1964 (dimes older than 1875 had different weights and/or fineness), dimes weigh 2.50 grams and are 90% silver (the remaining 10% is copper). This means that the ASW (Actual Silver Weight) is 0.07234 troy ounces. Thus, it would require 14 dimes (this number is rounded up; the precise number is 13.8236 dimes) to have one troy ounce of silver.

It depends on the current price of silver. Old silver dimes contain about 1/14 of a troy ounce of silver, so if for example silver is $42/oz, a silver dime is worth about $3 so it would take 30 new dimes to buy an old one.

How many mercury dimes make 1 oz of silver?

Each Kennedy half that was minted in '64 or earlier had .36 troy oz of silver meaning a little less than three would equal an ounce of silver which is running for 29.30 an ounce last i checked. <><><><> Half dollars made 1965-1970 contained only 40% silver, instead of the 90% of earlier coins, so it would take more coins. Half dollars made after 1970 contain no silver.
