Yes, all US dimes dated 1964 and before are 90% silver and worth about $2-3 in silver content. Similarly, there are a few "key date" dimes that are worth a lot more, for example the 1916-D Mercury dime is worth a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.

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.
