What US dimes are silver?
Dimes minted in 1964 and earlier are silver. Dimes dated 1965 and later are made of copper and nickel. Some proof dimes are still made of silver. These are only available in "Prestige" proof sets; dimes, quarters, and halves in regular proof sets are made of copper-nickel like circulating versions. For example, in 1994 785,329 were struck on 90% silver planchets and 2,484,594 were struck using the same copper-nickel as the business strikes. In 1999 the US Mint began the "Silver Proof Set" series. These sets are similar to the "Prestige" proof sets, the difference being there are no commemorative coins in the "Silver Proof Set". Some of these sets are highly sought after by collectors and investors and command impressive values.
Should you buy a silver proof set or a proof set?
It depends on your preference. A silver proof set contains coins made of 90% silver, while a regular proof set does not. Silver proof sets tend to have a higher intrinsic value due to the silver content, but they may also come at a higher cost compared to regular proof sets.

What is the difference between silver proof sets and regular proof set?
I'm assuming you're familiar with the different metals used to make coins. When the Mint eliminated silver from circulating dimes, quarters, and halves back in 1965, proof coins were also switched to the same cupro-nickel "sandwich" composition. Unfortunately cupro-nickel is a harder alloy than the old 90% silver alloy so the new proof coins never struck up quite as sharp as their older counterparts. In response to collectors' demands (and to make more profit) in 1992 the Mint re-introduced proof sets that had the dime, quarter, and half struck in 90% silver. You can now buy either type of proof set each year, although the silver ones obviously cost a lot more than the cupro-nickel ones.

How much is 1992 silver quarter worth?
The vast majority of 1992 quarters are not silver and are the standard copper-nickel composition. If your coin was not found in a silver proof mint set, most likely it is not silver but rather copper-nickel. If your coin was found in a silver mint proof set, leave it in its packaging and do not remove it. However, if you think that your coin is silver, there are a few tests to see if it really is silver. First off, your coin should have an "S" mintmark on the right side of George Washington's head by his ponytail. If your coin lacks this, it is not silver. However, even if your coin has an "S" mintmark doesn't make it silver, your coin could still be a copper-nickel proof. What you need to do then is look at the edge of your coin by the reeding. A copper-nickel coin will have a line of brownish red copper through it, a silver coin will not and a silver coin will appear 100% white. If there even is just a little bit of copper showing, it is copper-nickel and not silver. However, if your coin is one of the silver proofs, it is worth about $5.25 for the silver content and perhaps as much as $6 or 7 if still in mint-state condition.
