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.
(1938-2017) With an exception of the War Nickels 1942-1945 (56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese minted during World War II) it has always contained 75% copper and 25% nickel. The nickel is one of the most valuable coins minted in terms of its actual intrinsic metal value. At the time this article was written the coin is worth .07 or .08 each. Because of this there is a melt ban in place on nickels to prevent people from buying thousands of dollars worth of these coins, and melting them down for a hefty profit. The Jefferson nickel is 21.21 mm in diameter and weighs 5 g. Since it has always lacked much intrinsic value it does not have a reeded edge like other white metalic coins, and thus there is no reason for persons to scrape it's metal edges for shavings.
