10 cents for the copper and nickel underneath the gold plating.

The U.S. has never made dimes out of gold. After all, if you think about it for a second or two, with gold at roughly $900/ounce and a dime being about 1/12 of an ounce, even the most boneheaded government bureaucrat wouldn't authorize a circulating dime that's worth $80!

Except for some special "Prestige" proof coins issued in 1993 and later, all dimes since 1965 have been struck in cupronickel, not silver.

Check your pocket change and you'll find others. They're all worth 10 cents.

ALL American dimes have the word LIBERTY on them so that's not a distinguishing feature. Dimes dated 1946 and later are normally called Roosevelt dimes because they show a picture of President Franklin Roosevelt.

The dime itself was minted in either Philadelphia or Denver, and has an original value of 10 cents. The gold-plating was done by a private company somewhere to make it into a souvenir. It doesn't add any value to it for coin collectors, but as a novelty it could be worth a dollar or so.

10 cents. It's considered an altered coin and is worth only face value. Gold plating adds no value to coins.
