Dimes dated 1964 and prior are 90% silver. Dimes dated 1965-present that are intended for circulation contain no silver. From 1992-present the US has made silver proof sets which contain a 90% silver dime along with 90% silver quarters and half dollars. Keep in mind though that it is only the silver proof set that contains silver, the normal proof sets do not (unless the coin intended for circulation had silver)
