Not silver. Dimes and quarters pre 1964 were 90% silver.

From what I've read they did make a 2008s silver

what i mean is they make proof sets that dont see circulation you can buy them from the mint and they are silver(it is possible for someones kid to steal them and use them as currency) but these are usually in a some kind of display case or holder i would try and test it to see if it is silver but ya usually the only silver ones have an S mint mark

The San Francisco Minted Dimes were minted in Clad and Silver! The Clads were for the Clad Proof Sets and the Silvers were for the Silver Proof Sets and I believe the American Legacy Proof Sets. Since both the Clad and Silver Dimes minted at San Francisco were of low mintages, I would keep either!
