No, the value depends on the purity of silver, which coins you are talking about and the silver spot price. Currently, all US 90% silver coins (quarters, dimes and half dollars dated 1964 and before) are worth in melt value about 21 times face value. The percentage varies if you are talking about 40% silver half dollars (dated 1965-1970) and 35% silver war nickels (nickels dated 1942-1945 with a large mintmark over the Monticello). Of course, if silver were to go back up, they'd be worth more times face value. If silver drops, they'd be worth less than 21 times face value.
The 40% proof silver set was a 3 piece.
To find 40 percent of a value, multiply the value by 0.4. In this instance, 0.4 x 58 = $23.20.
The US never made 40%-silver dimes. All dimes up till 1964 were 90% silver. All circulating dimes 1965 and later are copper-nickel. Please post a new question with the coin's date and mint mark.
Yes the coin is 40% silver.
40 percent silver coins are Kennedy Half dollars minted from 1965 through 1969. 1964 half dollars were 90% silver and coins dated 1971 and after have no silver. The 1970 half dollar was available only in mint sets
The only circulating coins to be made of 40% silver were half dollars struck from 1965 to 1969. Dimes and quarters were immediately changed from 90% silver to copper-nickel in 1965.Some Eisenhower dollars as well as some Bicentennial halves and quarters were struck in 40% silver for sale to collectors.
US coins were never made of solid silver because it's too soft. From 1965 to 1970 US halves were only 40 percent silver; the rest was copper.

The 1977 Eisenhower dollar is NOT silver, the last 40% silver collectors coins of the series were the bicentennial coins. None of the Eisenhower dollars struck for general circulation have any silver or are worth more that face value.
