To find a rare standard circulation-strike dime you have to go all the way back to Mercury or "Barber" dimes. A few of the rarest ones are
1921: $55 to $2,000 depending on quality
1921-D: $70 to $2,500
1916-D: $900 to $21,000
1895-O: $330 to $21,000
but the absolute champ is the extremely rare 1894-S dime. Only a handful were made; at auction they've sold for $75,000 in very worn condition up to over $2 million in top quality.
There have also been several rare error dimes:
A few 1942 dimes were made with reused 1941 dies, resulting in a "42 over 41" date. These sell for several hundred to as much as $20,000 depending on condition and mint mark.
Some proof dimes were accidentally struck without mint marks in 1968, 1970, and 1983. These sell for several hundred to over $35,000, again depending on date and quality.
1804, 1846,1864, 1866, 1877-cc, 1894-s
It is quite rare if it is a US dime because no dimes were struck bearing that date! If you've got a US dime with a date of 1932, it is a fake and is numismatically worthless.
1949, 1949 s, 1950 s, 1951 s, 1952 s
To a collector all dates are collectable. If you are interested in just the silver coins they were made until 1964 with 1964 being the last year for silver US dimes released for circulation. Silver dimes do appear in special silver proof sets issued for collectors.
1944 is a common date for Mercury dimes and there are no significant varieties.
All US dimes made before 1965 are silver and are worth at least $1.25.

No, they are not rare, they are, however, worth more than face value (about $2.11 for each of them) simply because of the value of silver. In better condition some of the older ones may be worth more than just silver price.
All 1965 U.S. dimes are Roosevelt dimes, so that's what it would look like. A very few 1965 US dimes were struck by mistake on 90% silver planchets that were used for 1964 silver dimes.
Yes, all US dimes dated 1964 and before are 90% silver and worth about $2-3 in silver content. Similarly, there are a few "key date" dimes that are worth a lot more, for example the 1916-D Mercury dime is worth a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.
No, they are common.

US dimes were made of silver starting with the very first dimes back in 1796, and continued as such through 1964.
