If it's dated 1964 or earlier, it contains 90% silver with 10% copper. If it's dated after 1964, it contains no silver.
It is 90% silver and contains a little over 2 grams of silver.
You can check the composition of a 1948 dime using a magnet. If the dime is attracted to the magnet, it likely contains iron and is not pure silver. A pure silver dime will not be attracted to a magnet.
A 1935 US dime should be made of 90% silver and 10% copper. You can check the edge of the coin for a visible silver coloration. Alternatively, you can use a magnet - silver is not magnetic, so if the dime does not stick to the magnet, it is likely silver.
If your 1963 dime is silver, it will not have a copper band along the edge. Instead, the edge of a silver dime will appear silver in color and more uniform in appearance. You can also use a magnet to test its composition - silver dimes are not magnetic.
If its date is 1964 or earlier, it's made of an alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper. All circulating dimes dated 1965 and later are made of copper-nickel, with no silver at all. Starting in 1992, special "Prestige Proof" coin sets have been issued for sale to collectors; the dimes in these sets are again made of 90% silver but these coins don't circulate.
It is 90% silver, 10% copper.
90% silver and 10% copper
If it's 1922, that makes it a Mercury dime, not a Barber, though the silver content is the same either way. Dimes at that time contained 90% silver, which was 2.25 grams.
It's a common date, worth about $2 for its silver content.
A 1964 dime is made of 90% silver and 10% copper, known as a "silver dime" because of its silver content. These dimes were the last to be minted with silver before the composition changed to a copper-nickel alloy in 1965.
what is the value for an American 1909 silver dime
Yes, this is the Roosevelt design- introduced in l945 and still in use with non-silver content. The Mercury dime over its life-span was all silver- that is .900 fine.
An pre-1965 U.S. dime weighs 2.5 grams total. The silver content of pre-1965 dimes, quarters, halves, and silver dollars is 90% silver by weight, so there is 2.25 grams of silver in an unworn, uncirculated pre-1965 U.S. dime.
It's worth about $2.30 for its silver content.
About $1 for the silver content unless it is a proof or very high-grade uncirculated coin.
By content, it's 90% silver with 10% copper with a total weight of 2.5 grams.
It isn't a "JS" (and JS isn't the mintmark, the mintmark, if any would be found on the reverse) dime. It is a Roosevelt Dime, the JS are the designer's initials. It is silver, however, and worth around $2.15 in silver content.
