== == The WWII years were high production years for U.S. coins. Just about anything from these years -- pennies, nickels, dimes, etc. -- are considered common (to collectors). However, your dimes are made out of silver, so they will always have a value for the silver they contain. As of 10/2008 that value is about 90 cents apiece.
All dimes from 1960 to 1970 are worth at least 10 cents. Dimes from 1960 to 1964 are worth at least $2 for there silver content. Dimes dated 1965 to 1970 are only worth face value unless they are uncirculated.
Being that the coins have been altered, for coin collectors they're only worth face value (for coins dated 1971-present) or melt value for the silver (anything before 1971). That being said, Elvis collectors spend a bit more freely on memorabilia. A full set has sold for upwards of $60 on eBay.

The US didn't make any silver coins in 1979. The last circulating silver dimes and quarters were dated 1964, and the last silver halves made for circulation were dated 1969.
Despite the condition, dimes dated 1964 are so common that there's generally little to no collector value. Being that '64 was the last year for silver dimes, most were hoarded, resulting in a surplus of uncirculated specimens. Based on silver prices as of 23 May 2016, one roll of silver dimes has a melt value of $59.39.
No such coin exists. Silver dimes were produced for circulation dated 1964 and earlier. Silver proof sets started being sold to collectors starting in 1992. There is no 1985 dated silver dime.
The US never made pure silver dimes. Silver by itself is too soft for use in circulating coins. Dimes dated 1964 and earlier are made of a .900 fine alloy of silver and copper.
All 3 have the same retail values of $1.00-$1.50 depending on the grade
