  I don't know the figures off the top of my head, but I imagine a google search would round them up quickly enough.

  1964 dime = 2.50 grams.
  1965 dime = 2.27 grams

  ProofArtworkonCircs: I am assuming from your post that 2.27 grams would be applicable to all post '65 coins that were not silver by nature.
  
  The reason that I am asking is that I am trying to put together a post '65 album without any of the "S"mint marked coins (including silver) at the the present. But I would not turn my nose up a any silver dimes that I can find in circulation.
  
  Thanks for you input.
  
  edit: would a non silver "s" coin also weigh in a 2.27 grams? I would believe so, but I feel that I should check. Thanks are regards.

  All copper-nickel clad dimes should weigh 2.27 grams, whether they are business strikes or Proofs.

  Modern proof silver dimes are pre 1965 standards or 2.50 grams.
  
  All these numbers I have taken from the Redbook.
