1965 Dime

Notes:

This was the first year that the US stopped making silver dimes. That means these coins are worthless as far as there value to a silver collector. The post 1964 dimes are made of what collectors commonly call copper-nickel. A blend of copper and nickel covering a copper core in this case. The value of the metal in this coin is now .02 or 2 cents. Roughly 1/5 the face value. Where are the other 8 cents you ask? Who knows.

How much is a 1965 Dime worth?

In Average Circulated (AC) condition it's worth around 10 cents, one in certified mint state (MS+) condition could bring as much as $15 at auction. This price does not reference any standard coin grading scale. So when we say Average Circulated, we mean in a similar condition to other coins circulated in 1965, and mint state meaning it is certified MS+ by one of the top coin grading companies. *** [?].
