Ok, so if I have this right, you're talking "face value" of silver coins? I.E., a dime's "face value" is worth 10cents. Says so right on dime.

The metal content of a US Dime (for example), is based on year. Pre-1965 US coins are about 90% silver. It's fairly easy to convert their value into Fed Notes, based on the coinage, quantity, year, and current spot silver price, at a point of sale or transaction.

Yes, by silver weight. A pre-1965 dime is of far more value than a 2021 dime because of its metallic composition.
