Not to be a dick, but that dime is 90% silver and weighs 2.5 grams. At $32.97 an ounce, and doing the gram to ounce conversion, that dime is worth $2.38 silver melt value.
Here's a couple from Newfoundland, before it became Canada's tenth province. Kind of neat that they still struck large cents in 1936, and sterling silver five cents into the '40s. Yeah, 1945 isn't prewar but it's the same design type as the 1938-up.
