1977 D Gold Dime
A gold plated 1977 dime might have been made as a private commerative but not as a U.S. Mint issue. In 1977 the mint issued the Roosevelt Mercury dime. Gold coins have only been minted first between between 1795 - 1933. The Great Depression then forced the mint to recall most of its gold coins to have them melted down. Recently the mint issued coins with some gold quantities, mainly the Gold American Eagle coins issued in demoninations of $50, $25, $10, and $5 and containing 1/10 of an oz of gold to 1 oz of gold respectively. The U.S. Mint has announced the introduction of the 24-karat gold (99.99% gold) bullion coin to begin circulation in 2006.
