Yes and no. The way post-1964 dimes, half dollars and quarters are made is with copper-nickel. It is slightly possible that it was a defective blank and doesn't contain the copper layer, it is also possible that it could be struck on a blank intended for a penny. However, the most likely explanation is that someone stripped off the outer nickel coating leaving the copper core. Most likely it really isn't worth too much, but without seeing the coin in person, it isn't easy to say what it is.

How much is a copper dime 1911 worth?

There's no such thing as a copper dime. All 1911 dimes (in fact all dimes up till 1964) were made of a 90%-silver alloy.It's quite possible your coin is simply an ordinary silver dime with a lot of tarnish. If so, don't try to clean it; that'll reduce its value to a collector.There's more information at the Related Question.


What is the value of a 1967-P copper dime?

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.
