No gold dimes were ever officially made. However individuals or private companies can plate the dimes to look gold and they are simply a novelty. However sometimes they can go for a few dollars due to their slight gold content.
No. It has either been plated or exposed to a chemical that caused the color to change. Even if plated with 24 K gold, it would cost more to remove the gold than it would be worth.
YES! I am researching how much myself. It is a dime that was never meant to be in circulation. This was told to me by the bankers who found it when I turned in coins.
There are no gold dimes.
US dimes were never made of gold.
Ten cents - it's not real gold, it's plated. The US never made gold dimes.
Gold dimes were not made in 1997 or any other year for that matter. If you have a "gold" dime it's been plated. Think about it for a minute - gold sells for about $900 an ounce and is far too valuable to be used in such a low denomination coin. A gold coin the size of a dime would be worth about $75. Alternately, 10 cents worth of gold would be so tiny you'd need tweezers and a magnifying glass to pick it up.
WHAT IS THE VALUE OF LADY HEAD DIMES AND BUFFALO NICKELS WORTH TODAY? AND THE VALUE OF OF GOLD DOLLAR CIONS AND SILVER DOLLAR BILLS?
Sorry, but there are no gold dimes. Your coin has been plated (maybe with a few cents worth of gold) or been exposed to some chemical that has caused the color to change.
What is 15 lbs of dimes worth ?
It's plated. The US never made gold dimes. No gold coins of less than one dollar have ever been made.
No such coin exists. All the dimes that were made in 1985 feature FDR on them, not Ben Franklin (Franklin remains on the 100 dollar bill and was on the half dollar from 1948 until 1964 when he was replaced by JFK) 1985 dimes are commonly found in circulation and are just worth face value.
Nickels are worth five cents and dimes are worth ten.
800 dimes make $80.
It is a gold coin named Centenario, worth USD$1,244.
