Silver coinage stopped in 1964. Anything dated after that is not silver, sorry.

Not sure why you would want to remove these, I don't see anything that indicates they are worth more than face value.

 

Thanks i iknow 65 dimes have been found very valuable thanks

 

65 dime reeded Edge no copper

 

No copper clad showing

 

Willie.. you keep stating this. Starting 1965 Dimes have a Clad Layer with a Copper core, not a Copper Clad layer. Look at any Dime minted from 1965 until today. They all look like the Dime you are showing us.
No need to take those coins out. They will just get damaged.

 

Good luck getting them out of the acrylic undamaged, but your chances are very poor for doing that. I would put it in a sealed jar with acetone in case it is a low grade of acrylic ( do it yourself type), if the same a day later, lift it out with tongs or something and see if anything happened, other wise put it on the shelf to look at as alternative chemicals are very dangerous outside labs , IMO.

Ok i understand no clad and clad this 65 shows no copper core at all. Now what

 

Nail polish remover

 

Off metal errors have been found, with 1965 quarters on 1964 silver planchets,
and the same with the dimes.
In your case, it looks as if your coin was plated before being encased, and that's why you can't see the copper on the edge.

 

Looks like it was plated before it was entombed. Sorry.

 

plated like chrome

 

I really don’t see how you could get the coins out of there without demolishing them.

 

Yes, if nail polish ( acetone) works you got lucky it was the do-it-yourself casting art project .

 

There was a time that these acrylic/coin art pieces were quite popular. I have one that is a paperweight on my desk. The artists wanted the entombed coins to appear as bright and shiny as possible so the coins would be plated and polished prior to being entombed in the acrylic. The plating hides the copper layer.

 

Willy strikes again. Thanks for the monday morning entertainment

 

Looks like it was plated before being put in the acrylic case.

 

the cup, now, has more value than the coins removed...
