The only 1993 silver dimes - in fact, the only silver US dimes dated later than 1964 - are the 90% silver coins included in special "Prestige Proof" sets minted since 1992. All other dimes, including standard proofs, are made of the familiar copper-nickel sandwich metal.
Prestige proofs are sold in special packaging and like nearly all modern proofs, carry an S mint mark. As of 07/2010, prices range from about $4 for a mid-quality strike (PR-62) up to about $17 for a top-quality coin (PR-68).

At mid-2011 prices the silver is worth about $2.75 retail. However, depending on date, mint mark, and condition the coin could be worth more to a collector.
