<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Phoenix21, post: 303115, member: 7424&quot;]Proof coins as Pocket Change said are just a different type of coin. They are coins minted for collectors, and they are struck with stronger strikes, better dies, polished plancets, etc. Not all of them are silver. Only dimes minted in silver that are the pre-64, and then 1992-present, and they are for the silver proof sets. There are two types of proof sets that have different composition, the clad and the silver. And not only the dime is silver, the quarter and half dollar are also. So basicallly to answer your question &quot;why are there a lot of dimes after 1965 silver?&quot; because they are just another thing minted by the mint for collectors. But only post 65 dates that were minted with silver are 1992-present. Does this help at all?</p><p><br /></p><p>Phoenix <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
