today at work i also found a 1977 dime that is copper both sides seems a little thinner im gonna weigh it when i get home but did a lil research but getting all kinds of crazy prices from $10-$1000 does any body out there truly know what this coin may be worth if it is in deed a tru error coin.....
This year is still in circulation and is only face value.
There are no "silver" 1977 coins...they are copper-nickel Eisenhower coins and they are worth $1.00
All circulation dimes dated 1965 and later are made of copper-nickel, not silver.
If the coin is the same thickness as a regular dime it's been plated and is only worth face value. If it's thinner than a regular dime and is copper on one side only, the cupronickel cladding un-bonded from the core. This is called a lamination error and is worth around $5 or $6 Note there's no such thing as a 1967-P dime because US coins dated 1965, 1966, and 1967 don't carry mint marks.
It's difficult to estimate the value of an error coin without an in-person examination. A dime that appears to be fully copper could have multiple causes:It could be a so-called lamination error. In the case of a clad coin, a lamination error most often happens when part of the cupronickel cladding fails to bond to the pure copper core either before or after striking. Roosevelt dime lamination errors generally sell for about $6 to $8.The coin could be oxidized or otherwise discolored due to exposure to chemicals, heat, etc. In this case it's simply a damaged dime worth face value.It could have been plated as part of a school chemistry experiment. Again, it would be simply a damaged coin.
If it has been copper plated, it's still just a dime.
The value of a 2006 copper dime varies depending on its condition. In some cases this dime is worth about $0.15 and might be valued at up to about $1.
First weigh it ... a normal dime weighs 20268g. Then have a coin dealer check it out if different.

If it's so worn that the date isn't visible, it's worth its metal value only - about 80¢ if it's an older silver dime, 10¢ if it's a modern copper-nickel dime.
Please check your pocket change. Except for some special collectors' coins, all dimes minted since 1965 are made of copper-nickel and are only worth face value unless they're in uncirculated or proof condition.
A dime with copper reeding doesn't have any added value beyond its face value of 10 cents. The copper reeding is simply a design feature on the coin and doesn't affect its worth to collectors or in circulation.
You have a Roosevelt copper-nickel clad Dime. A 1976-S coin in proof condition (PF63) is worth: $2.00.

Dimes minted for circulation haven't contained any silver since 1964. All later dimes are made of copper-nickel and are only worth 10 cents each. If your dime has the familiar copper band on its edge you have an ordinary dime. The only silver dimes minted since that time are "Prestige Proof" coins that are specially struck for sale to collectors. If your dime doesn't have the copper band but does have an "S" mint mark and is heavier than an ordinary 2005 dime, you could have a proof dime that was removed from its package. Unfortunately if it has any wear on it, its value is reduced to the melt value of about 0.07 times the price of 1 oz of silver.
