A few 1965 dimes were accidentally struck on silver blanks left from production of 1964-dated coins, in much the same way that the famous 1943 copper pennies were made by accident. No one knows exactly how many were made and none have been found in many years.
The standard composition for all circulation-strike dimes dated 1965 and later is the same cupronickel-clad "sandwich" also used for quarters and halves. 1964 is the last year that Roosevelt dimes were 90% silver.
From 1965 to 1967 coins were made without mint marks as a way of supposedly easing the coin shortage that resulted when older silver coins were withdrawn for melting. As a result production figures were not broken down by mint mark. The only figure available is a combined total - 1,652,140,570.
