The US never made a pure silver dime, they were made from 90% silver and 10% copper.
Dimes are more valuable than their face value primarily for coins minted before 1965, which are composed of 90% silver. These dimes, often referred to as "silver dimes," include those minted in 1964 and earlier. In addition, dimes from certain years or with specific mint marks may have numismatic value beyond their silver content. Therefore, collectors often find dimes from 1964 and earlier to be more valuable than their face value.
