The last US half dimes were minted in 1873.

If you're referring to a Mercury dime, these weighed 2.5 grams and were 90% silver so they contain 2.25 gm of pure metal.

If you're referring to a "war nickel" with a large mint mark over the dome of Monticello, these are the only US nickels that ever contained any silver. They weighed 5 gm and were 35% silver so they contain 1.75 gm of pure metal.

It's very similar to a two-headed or two-tailed magician's coin made using the same techniques.
