The melt value of a silver dime is based on the current price of silver, which changes daily. An unworn US dime contains about 0.072 troy oz. of silver, so to get the retail melt value multiply the price by that weight. Of course a metal dealer will only pay around 2/3 of that in order to make a profit.
However, it's never a good idea to simply take coins to a metal dealer without finding out their collectible values first. Many very expensive collectibles have ended up being sold for a few cents on the dollar - or even less - because their owners never bothered to have their collector value checked.

What is the value of a 2005 silver US dime?
Dimes minted for circulation haven't contained any silver since 1964. All later dimes are made of copper-nickel and are only worth 10 cents each. If your dime has the familiar copper band on its edge you have an ordinary dime. The only silver dimes minted since that time are "Prestige Proof" coins that are specially struck for sale to collectors. If your dime doesn't have the copper band but does have an "S" mint mark and is heavier than an ordinary 2005 dime, you could have a proof dime that was removed from its package. Unfortunately if it has any wear on it, its value is reduced to the melt value of about 0.07 times the price of 1 oz of silver.

Silver US dimes minted from 1873 to 1964 weighed 2.5 grams when new. The coins were made of an alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper, so they contain 2.25 gm of pure silver. Silver dimes with earlier dates weighed different amounts due to adjustments in the price of silver. When silver prices were deregulated and the composition of dimes, quarters, and halves was changed to copper-nickel, the weight of the dime was reduced to 2.27 grams to maintain the same diameter and thickness.
