A 1977 dime without a mint mark typically has a value of about 10 to 25 cents, depending on its condition. In uncirculated or mint condition, it could be worth slightly more, but it generally does not hold significant numismatic value. Most dimes from this era are valued primarily for their silver content, which is minimal since they are primarily made of copper and nickel.
This year is still in circulation and is only face value.
There are no "silver" 1977 coins...they are copper-nickel Eisenhower coins and they are worth $1.00
All circulation dimes dated 1965 and later are made of copper-nickel, not silver.
If the coin is the same thickness as a regular dime it's been plated and is only worth face value. If it's thinner than a regular dime and is copper on one side only, the cupronickel cladding un-bonded from the core. This is called a lamination error and is worth around $5 or $6 Note there's no such thing as a 1967-P dime because US coins dated 1965, 1966, and 1967 don't carry mint marks.
If it has been copper plated, it's still just a dime.
The value of a 2006 copper dime varies depending on its condition. In some cases this dime is worth about $0.15 and might be valued at up to about $1.

First weigh it ... a normal dime weighs 20268g. Then have a coin dealer check it out if different.
This year is still in circulation and is only face value.
If it's so worn that the date isn't visible, it's worth its metal value only - about 80¢ if it's an older silver dime, 10¢ if it's a modern copper-nickel dime.
Please check your pocket change. Except for some special collectors' coins, all dimes minted since 1965 are made of copper-nickel and are only worth face value unless they're in uncirculated or proof condition.
10 cents. Please look at your pocket change. ALL American dimes dated 1965 and later are made of a copper-nickel "sandwich" with a pure copper center, so they all have copper reeding around the edge where the core is visible.
You have a Roosevelt copper-nickel clad Dime. A 1976-S coin in proof condition (PF63) is worth: $2.00.
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.
No Copper-nickel clad Copper 1 Dime "Roosevelt Dime" 1965-2017 1946-1964 Silver (.900)
Face Value: $0.10 (What can be bought with it Melt value: $0.02 (Value of metal if melted down) Collector Value: $0.05 (Bought from you for 50% of selling price) To sum this up, it would be better to spend your dime than to do ANYTHING else with it.
