Why is it the 1965 dimes look like they have silver in them? Not all but a large number of them sure look like it. Maybe it's just me.
Halves:
Stopped by a credit union the other day. The teller sold me $50 dollars worth. 3 of the rolls were direct from the US mint. Solid 2005, 2010, and 2011's. Each roll has the date on the outside showing what's in the roll. Are these worth any more than face?
I know what you are takling about. I can spot a 1965 dime the minute I open a roll. My wife gets tricked by the 1965 dimes all the time. It seems like a combonation of wear and something else. If I had to guess I'd say they were still playing with the clad material in 1965...

Thanks.
Finding NIFC halves still in mint rolls are the best clad P & D NIFC halves to find. Yes they are worth a little over face but you'd have to check ebay to see exactly how much. The mint sells them in 2 roll sets for either $32.95 or $35.95 (last time I checked anyway).
The '65 dimes look like silver to you because you are in the last stages of a disease called "silveritis".
"Silveritis is a syndrome affecting certain followers of an arcane pursuit known as "coin roll hunting". The obsession for possession causes delusional perception in session after session."

Never seen a silver 65 dime.. if it has copper on the rim, it's not silver. If it is a silver coin, then you got one worth a lot.
The NIFC's are worth a little over face.. if you want to be worth a little more, wait 20-50 years at least.
There are some 1965 silver dimes
1965 SILVER Roosevelt dime
WORTH UP TO $20,000
The U.S. Mint officially stopped the manufacture of silver Roosevelt dimes in 1964. So virtually every Roosevelt dime you find dated “1965” will not be silver; it will be composed of copper and nickel “clad.” This rare 1965 dime mistake is made of 90% silver and, as such, is 1 of only a few accounted for. You can tell silver from clad by examining the coin’s edge: The rare silver coin has a silver edge; the common clad coin has a strip of brown around the edge. Experts believe that a small number of 1965 silver dimes were manufactured by mistake at the Mint, and many of those are still waiting to be discovered hiding in piggy banks and cookie jars. One recently found circulated example was sold at auction for nearly $9,000 in July 2003.

I just started hunting and last night I found a 1965 dime that looks just like the silver half so I put it aside because I hopped it would be special. Thanks for asking the question. And thanks for the answers.
