The 1969-S dime is a Proof coin, that's why it has higher value.
U.S. dimes have never been made of gold, nor were there any gold coins minted in the 1960s. What you have is a gold-plated dime, not worth anything to collectors above face value.
Ten cents. It's an ordinary dime that was plated. The last circulating gold coins were made in 1933. The lowest denomination US gold coin was the minuscule $1 piece minted from 1849 to 1889. These coins were even smaller than dimes and were worth 10 times as much. A modern dime wouldn't have ever been struck in gold.
It is gold plated and therefore is only worth what a normal (damaged) 1941 dime is worth, which is about $2.20 or so in scrap silver.
Ten cents. It's not gold, it's been plated for use in jewelry or something similar. There's never been a gold dime.

I have a 1969 dime from the Bahamas found out it is a fabulous find on rarity but is only worth face value.

Some coins do tone to a gold color or it may have been plated but it's not gold. So just spend it.

$2.00 for the silver under the gold, the plating destroyed any collectible value the may have had.
This did not come from the mint like that. It has to be gold plated. No collector value.
The U.S. has never struck a gold dime. A coin that size made of gold would be worth many times more than 10 cents. Your coin is an ordinary silver dime that was plated for use in jewelry or something similar. As such it's only worth its melt value, about $2 as of early 2011.
Its only 10 cents.
Dimes have never been made of gold. Perhaps your coin was gold plated. There's no specific value for it, so it's only worth as much as someone will pay.
