Why the 1965 Dime Is So Important
The year 1965 changed U.S. coin history forever.
- Before 1965: dimes were 90% silver
- Starting in 1965: dimes were supposed to be clad (no silver)
That makes 1964 the last official silver dime — or so most people think 
Because of a minting error, a few 1965 dimes were accidentally struck on silver planchets, creating one of the most valuable modern error coins in U.S. history.
Step 1: Pull Out ALL Your Dimes (This Matters!)
This only works if everything lines up — not just one feature.
Take all the dimes from your change jar, wallet, or drawer and set aside every dime dated 1965.
Most people skip this step — don’t be one of them 
Step 2: Check the Weight (Critical Step!)
This is where the truth is revealed.
Normal 1965 Clad Dime
- Weight: ~2.26–2.27 grams
- Rim color: brownish / copper-colored
Rare 1965 Silver Dime
- Weight: ~2.50 grams
- Rim color: solid silver (no brown stripe)
If your 1965 dime weighs closer to 2.5g, you’re holding something special.
Step 3: Inspect the Edge Color
This is the fastest visual test.
- Brown or copper stripe = common dime
- Solid silver edge = possible jackpot
Compare it side-by-side with a 1964 dime:
- 1964 = always silver
- 1965 = should NOT be silver
If they look the same, stop everything and do not clean the coin.
Why These 1965 Silver Dimes Are Worth So Much
These coins were never supposed to exist.
- Struck on leftover 1964 silver planchets
- Extremely small number escaped the mint
- Highly demanded by error-coin collectors
Real Auction Results
- 1965 Silver Dime sold for $14,000+ (this year)

That’s two Disney trips from one dime
