Roosevelt dimes dated 1946 to 1964 are made of 90% silver and 10% copper. They contain about 0.0714 troy ounces of silver (or about 2.22 grams). So to find their melt value, multiply the price of one ounce of silver by 0.0714. For example, if the price of silver is $15 per ounce, the coins would contain about 0.0714 * 15 = $1.07 worth of silver.


Depending on the coin's date, mint mark, and condition it may be worth more to a collector.


Dimes dated 1965 and later don't contain any silver at all, just copper and nickel.
