The last US half dimes were minted in 1873.
If you're referring to a Mercury dime, these weighed 2.5 grams and were 90% silver so they contain 2.25 gm of pure metal.
If you're referring to a "war nickel" with a large mint mark over the dome of Monticello, these are the only US nickels that ever contained any silver. They weighed 5 gm and were 35% silver so they contain 1.75 gm of pure metal.
Still no 1942 silver dollar US coin. If you mean a 1942 US half dollar it's worth $7.00-$9.00 in circulated condition.
There is no such thing as a pure silver dime. See the related question below for more information.
None. Unless the coin has an "S" mintmark, it is a normal copper-nickel coin made out of the same composition as the dime, quarter and half-dollar and is only worth $1.
It all depends on the year, how many were made, etc.
The coin has no silver in it. Only the "War Nickels" from 1942 to 1945 had any silver.
A 1942 Mercury silver dime could be worth between $2.00 and $30.00 depending on its condition and grade.
1942 is a very common date, most are valued just for the silver, about $1.25
a 1942 Mercury Head dime is very common, if it has any wear the value is for the silver about $2.00.
Because of the silver content in the dime, quarter(s) and half dollar.
Still no 1942 silver dollar US coin. If you mean a 1942 US half dollar it's worth $7.00-$9.00 in circulated condition.
There is 2.25 grams of silver in a 1960 dime.
There is no silver in a 1990 US dime.
There are 2.25 grams of silver in a 1935 silver dime. It is made of 90% silver and 10% copper.
If the coin has any wear the value is for the silver about $12.00
Just for its silver content alone it would be worth about $10.40.
If the coin has any wear the value is for the silver about $12.00
11centsThe joke answer is 5.5 cents (half of a cent and half of a dime) but if the dime half is actually silver and not copper-nickel would be worth about $2, IF you could separate the pieces.It's actually a novelty item made by cutting a dime and a penny in half and joining the sides of each. It's very similar to a two-headed or two-tailed magician's coin made using the same techniques.
