1992 S Silver Clad Dime

Notes: This stats listed above are for the Silver Proofs issued this year. In 1992 the US Mint started minting some S Silver Proofs, prior to that the Mint had not issued silver dimes since 1965. Not all proof dimes after 1992 are silver however. DCAM (deep cameo) and UCAM (ultra cameo) PR70 and even PR69 are top end specimens for this coin. They are polished to a mirror finish and have likely never been held by hand.

Yes! Roosevelt Dime's produced in 1992 are 90% silver to be precise, and contain 0.0723 troy oz or 2.248 grams in total of .999 pure silver. Silver weight is measured in troy ounces. Troy ounces weigh about 2 grams more than the standard ounce. CoinTrackers has built a tool that will let you know if your coin is silver or not. The tool is called Is My Coin Silver?.

Coinage issued in 1992 will only contain silver if minted as a silver proof. Is your coin a silver proof or just a proof? Do they weigh more than other identical coins from the same year? If so they are likely 90% silver. 90% silver coins are much denser than the modern 90% copper 10% nickel blend the mint uses today.
