Before 1965 in most cases. While error coins can be found on any coin from the earliest coins to the present, all other coins that are valuable were minted before 1965. Any dime, quarter, or half-dollar minted before 1965 was minted in 90% silver making it worth more than face based on that only, no matter how common the year was.
