<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1452410, member: 11521&quot;]Dimes (as well as quarters and halves) minted before 1965 are 90% silver. That explains why your dime is &quot;extremely silver looking&quot;. At the current value of silver ($27.87/oz) your dime is worth a little over $2 due to its silver content. Nice find. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also notice the edge of the dime is the same color as the obverse and reverse. That is because the dime is 90% silver throughout. Modern clad coins (1965 and later) are made of a layer of pure copper sandwiched between two layers of copper-nickel (75% copper/25% nickel). You can see the different layers on most clad coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
