They are both clad, you can tell by the copper visible on the edge, if it was silver you wouldn't see any copper on the edge of it, but in this case it is just a circulated clad 1965 dime. Weight would also help.

Gotcha thank you I will weigh it out but isn't it odd looking though? I havent found any other besides a 66 with the same It is a error so the thought behind it was 90 percent silver 10 percent copper as it appears on the edge to be A 65 shouldnt appear as a 64

This is a completely normal clad dime. Why do you think it's silver? I can very clearly see the copper strip...

As I compared the two 1 has a thicker Clad layer as I compared it to the 2nd imagine another 1965 dime I assumed it was silver as the 2nd coin has a thicker copper layer, Hense the post on here in Questions if you need a recap both dimes are 1965 Why are they different?

I don't think I understand your question, both dimes show the copper core of a normal clad dime on the edge. They may look slightly different due to the way the metal shears when the blank is punched out, but both look completely normal.

Your question is a good one. Think of a cherry pie, one slice may have more cherries in it than another slice but all the cherry pies have the same amount of cherries in them. Just like the copper in your coin, all the dimes have the same amount of copper in them, some show different amount on rim than others.
