Other than size, appearance, and monetary value... not much. If both were minted pre 1965, then they are both 90% silver. Both underwent a few different styles. For the silver dollar, there were Liberty, Morgan, and Peace designs. Dimes were Liberty, Barber, Mercury and Roosevelt.

Is a 1977 dime with no silver on the backside rare?
Well, first, the outer layers are made of a nickel alloy, not silver. The last silver dimes were struck in 1964. However, what you are describing sounds like a lamination error. That happens when the bond between the outer cladding and the inner copper core comes undone. It can occur either before the coin is struck, or after it leaves the mint. Lamination errors in a clad dime can be worth about $6 at retail.
How much is your 1940 dime worth with agod on the front and a torch on the back?
You are describing the "mercury dime". The portrait is actually Miss Liberty, but the liberty cap she's wearing makes her look like the god Mercury, hence the coin's nickname. They aren't rare at all, in circulated condition. It's probably only worth about a dollar. If it's uncirculated still no more than $10 or so. All dimes before 1965 are worth about a dollar right now for the silver content.
Whose picture is on a 1999 American dime?
Liberty has been depicted as a woman on the U.S. silver dollar starting in 1794 and continuing through 1935 when the last circulating silver dollar was struck. From 1936 through 1970 there were no dollar coins struck for general circulation in the United States. Beginning in 1971 a dollar coin bearing the likeness of Dwight D. Eisenhower was struck and continued until 1978 when the series was ended. Silver specimens of this series were struck for collectors but none of the circulation coins contained silver. This series was the last large size dollar coins struck for circulation in the United States. 1979 was the first year of the Susan B. Anthony dollar coin. Both circulation and collector coins were struck but none contained silver. Mintage of this series was suspended after the issuance of the 1981 coins but was resumed for one year in 1999. In 2000 the first of the manganese brass clad dollars was issued bearing the likeness of Sacajawea. In 2009 the reverse of the coin was changed and the name was changed to Native American Dollar. The obverse still bears the likeness of Sacajawea. The reverse of this will change each year until the series in ended. None of these manganese brass clad dollars contained silver. Beginning in 2007 the Presidential Dollar series began. Each year the obverse of these coins will bear the likeness of 4 U.S. presidents, each minted for a short time. When the series ends all U.S. presidents will have been depicted on these coins. They are also manganese brass clad and contain no silver.
