Is there a silver US penny?
No. In 1943, the U.S. issued steel pennies on account of a wartime shortage of copper. They are gray in color. Sometimes people mistakenly think they are silver. An amount of silver worth one cent would be too small for a coin. It would be worth more melted down than the face value. That's why we wound up with dimes and quarters that are not all silver the way they used to be.

Why are coins in this country no longer made in silver?
In the 1960's, the US stopped making silver coins because of the value of the metal. For example, a silver dime's silver value is worth $2 and a silver quarter is $6. Silver dollars are worth $30. The U.S. was wasting a lot of money in silver coins and the silver value was rapidly increasing, so they had to stop. Another reason would be that people took the coins, melted it and sold it to a cash-for-gold type company. Also, they would ship or smuggle them to foreign countries which is illegal.

What is the value of a tarnished dime?
If it's 1965 or later, it's worth 10 cents. If it was made before 1965, it's worth at least $1.50. The reason for the big price difference is that 1964 was the last year dimes were made of silver, and so they've mostly been melted down for their silver content, making dimes that old rare.
