A dime has a diameter of approximately 17.91 mm, making it significantly larger than 10 mm. Specifically, 10 mm is about 56% the diameter of a dime. Therefore, if you visualize a dime, 10 mm would be a little less than two-thirds the size of its diameter.
Currently they are made out 91.67% copper and 8.33% nickel but before 1965 they were made out of 90% silver and 10% copper.

Half-dimes were tiny (14 mm) coins issued up till 1873. The reason your coin is the size of a nickel (21 mm) is that it IS a nickel. However, without a date it's not possible to give a specific value. Please enter a new question in the form What is the value of a [date] US nickel? for a specific answer. (date = your coin's date)
dime -- 17.9 mm diameter, 1.35 mm thickness
Since dimes are metal, ductility, malleability and luster.
The radius of a U.S. dime is approximately 10.5 mm. This makes the diameter of the dime about 21 mm, as the diameter is twice the radius.
