1931 dimes are 90% silver. Except for those minted in Denver, their retail value in worn condition is about 0.07 X the current price of silver; a metal dealer will pay less.
Look on the back of the coin to see if there's a small mint mark letter next to the E in ONE. It may be blank or there may be a D or S. (The W on the front of the coin is the designer's monogram and not a mint mark.)
