There are no reports of 1965 dimes being struck on old silver blanks used in 1964 and earlier. All dimes dated 1965 and later are made of copper and nickel. Any dime made in 1965 that appears to be silver is almost certainly plated, maybe for use in jewelry or as a novelty item. In any case a genuine silver dime is heavier (6.25 gm) than a copper-nickel dime (5.67 gm) so a good scale will tell you if a coin was plated.

They don't contain any silver, so they don't have any extra value unless you have an uncirculated or proof coin in its original packaging. If you're referring to a 1965 Canadian dime, it contains 1.864 gm of silver. These coins weighed 2.33 gm and were 80% silver.
