Silver was removed from dimes in 1964 and nickels were made with copper, silver and manganese from Oct. 8, 1942 through the end of 1945. Here is some great reading on the different coins from the U.S. http://www.oldcoinshop.com/coinhistory/index.php. HH.

This is a pretty good site that tells you when certain coins were struck, which are rare, and scarce...
