The 1982 D dime is not silver, but will be worth more than a silver dime if it has what collectors and numismatics call full bands/full torch.

How much is a 1982 P Dime worth?
In Average Circulated (AC) condition it's worth around 25 cents, one in certified mint state (MS+) condition could bring as much as $12 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 1982, and mint state meaning it is certified MS+ by one of the top coin grading companies. *** [?].
