So a dime is worth either 10 cents (as legal tender) or $1.88 in silver (.0723oz at $26/oz)? I don’t understand why the legal tender part makes it worth more.
Being legal tender doesn't change it's official worth. But in an environment where you are required to use legal tender, junk silver qualifies, silver rounds don't. Or a seller might be more comfortable with the former.
What value you and the seller chose to assign to a silver dime is up to you, in that the seller can, for example, reprice his item from $1.88 to one silver dime.
Whether this will be actually useful remains to be seen.
