The FACE value of any coin or bill is the denomination shown on it; i.e. how much it was worth when first released. Thus the face value of any dime is 10 cents. However, the metal value of a coin may be higher or lower than its face value, and the collector's value could be a third and different amount.In the case of a 1938 dime, its metal value is at least $1 as of 10/2009 because it's made of 90% silver alloy. Its value to a collector is at least that much, possibly several times more.
