Silver dimes and quarters were minted from 1796 to 1964. Most of them were made of 90% silver and 10% copper.
For other denominations, halves were silver from 1794 to 1970, but those dated 1965-1970 were made of 40% silver, not 90% silver.
Silver dollars were made of 90% silver up till 1935.
Contrary to many misunderstandings, most nickels were never made of silver - only the famous "war nickels" struck during WWII contained silver, and only 35%.
Never. My guess is that you have a coin that was plated as a novelty piece or for inclusion in jewelry. As such it's considered to be an altered coin and has no extra value.
It's either a novelty coin or a gold plated dime. If it's only a gold plated dime it's worth around $2.50. If it's a novelty coin it's worthless.
The gold dime was made in June of 1938 and was discontinued in August of the same year. Only 300 dimes were made.
Ten cents. It's not gold, it's been plated for use in jewelry or something similar. There's never been a gold dime.
There are no gold dimes.
U.S. dimes have never been made of gold, nor were there any gold coins minted in the 1960s. What you have is a gold-plated dime, not worth anything to collectors above face value.
No. US Dimes dated 1965 and later, were all made from a copper-clad alloy. The dime you have is gold-plated.
It is gold plated and therefore is only worth what a normal (damaged) 1941 dime is worth, which is about $2.20 or so in scrap silver.
A dime
No. It's plated.

Dime
Some coins do tone to a gold color or it may have been plated but it's not gold. So just spend it.
