It looks like a drapery 1840. If there is no mint mark it is worth around $20. If it has an O, it is worth around $30.
 

All 1840 dimes were made in Philiadelphia. From the picture it looks like what is called Variety 2, (Stars on Obverse,drapery from elbow, upright shield) Very low mintage coin (377,500). Unfortunately it has some severe condition problems. Might get $10.00 for it.

He said it was a half dime, these were minted in New Orleans too.
