Yes it is true and he died fro it so dont ever eat dimes.
yes
The easy way is by the date. U.S. dimes, quarters, and half dollars dated 1964 or before are 90% silver. No U.S. coin made to be used in every day commerce was ever " All silver " or gold.
*laughs* yes, she was a little baby once
No.
Wheat pennies or any other US pennies were ever made of silver. They would be worth more than a dime if they were made of silver. A regular 1941 wheat penny is worth around 3-7 cents in circulated condition.
The only president whose picture ever appeared (and still does) on a US dime is Franklin Roosevelt. President Eisenhower's portrait was used on $1 coins dated 1971 to 1978.In any case, if you have a Roosevelt dime dated between 1946 and 1964, it contains 2.25 gm of pure silver alloyed with 0.25 gm of copper. At mid-2011 prices the silver is worth about $2.75 retail. However, depending on date, mint mark, and condition the coin could be worth more to a collector.
Yes, one time a little bit.
Silver plated or just looks silver. No silver one cent coins have ever been made. It's only face value unless someone wants it.
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.
Washington was never on the US dime. Franklin Roosevelt is the only president ever depicted on the US dime, from 1946 to the present.
No. Franklin Roosevelt is the only president ever depicted on the US dime, from 1946 to the present.
