Silver coins dated before 1920 are sterling (.925%) silver.

Dollars, half dollars, quarters and dimes from 1920 - 1966 are all 80% silver by weight.

An easy calculation to figure out the pure silver weight:

Multiply .6 oz per dollar of coinage.

Example: $10 of 1966 dimes would be .6 x 10 or 6 oz's of pure silver. Multiplying the total by today's price would give you "melt" value of the coins.
