1964 vs 1965 Dime — One Contains REAL Silver

💰 Buy Pre-1965 Junk Silver / Constitutional Silver Dimes From Money Metals: https://www.moneymetals.com/buy/silver/junk-silver/90-silver-dimes

What’s the difference between a pre-1965 silver dime and the modern dimes in your pocket today?

In this video from Money Metals, we compare a 1964 Roosevelt silver dime with a modern post-1965 clad dime to show you exactly what changed when the United States Mint removed silver from circulating coinage.

Many investors, coin collectors, and silver stackers buy pre-1965 “junk silver” dimes — also known as constitutional silver — because they contain REAL silver and remain one of the most affordable ways to own physical precious metals.

“Junk silver” refers to old U.S. coins that contain silver bullion value but are typically valued for their silver content rather than collectible rarity. “Constitutional silver” is a nickname many investors use for pre-1965 U.S. silver coinage because these coins circulated as everyday money in America before the U.S. Mint removed silver from dimes, quarters, and half dollars.

The history of silver U.S. coinage dates back to the Coinage Act of 1792, the first major coinage law passed by the United States government. The Coinage Act of 1792 established the U.S. dollar and authorized silver coinage produced by the United States Mint, helping lay the foundation for America’s early monetary system.

At Money Metals, constitutional silver coins continue to be one of the most popular silver products among investors looking for recognizable, fractional silver coins with historic U.S. Mint history and authentic US Mint coinage.

One of the easiest ways to spot a pre-1965 silver dime is by looking at the edge. Silver dimes have a uniform silver-colored edge, while modern clad dimes reveal a copper stripe along the side.
