Any United States dime, quarter, half dollar or dollar that is dated 1964 or earlier is made of 90% silver. In the dime series, all coins dated 1965 or later are clad coins and contain no silver at all. The value of these coins is tied directly to the price of silver. At $20 per ounce, 90% silver coins are worth about fourteen times their face value. A dime would be worth about $1.40, a quarter about $3.50, and a half dollar, about $6.00. At the same silver price of $20, 40% silver half dollars are worth approximately $2.50 each.
My quarter rocks. 1964 was the last year for coins minted entirely of .999 silver, however, some coins were still minted with ,90 silver up until I think 1982 or so. If you can find a 1982 dime with no mint mark it is worth about $350 in any condition. That was the year that somewhere between 30,000 and 300,000 coins were minted at the S.F. Mint but the die for the mint mark wore off. Making the coins valuable for having this flaw.
