Best Answer

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.

11centsThe joke answer is 5.5 cents (half of a cent and half of a dime) but if the dime half is actually silver and not copper-nickel would be worth about $2, IF you could separate the pieces.It's actually a novelty item made by cutting a dime and a penny in half and joining the sides of each. It's very similar to a two-headed or two-tailed magician's coin made using the same techniques.
