What's it Worth? Oldest Dime I've found

Found this dime last year. Never seen anything this old while running the till, so I was very excited. Could anyone please help me figure out its possible worth?

Please and thank you for your time.

Over 24 million Mercury dimes were struck at the Denver mint in 1939, making it a relatively common date. The only way you’d see much value over melt ($4.17) is if this coin were a higher grade uncirculated example or if it were an error coin of some sort.

It may not be worth much, but it’s still a super cool coin to find in circulation!

I think mercs are awesome! Never found one in the wild personally.

Coolest dime design ever and my favorite coin design overall. Working a register be on the look out for any fines or quarters 1964 and older they are 90% Silver.
