Looks like a regular dime to me. Why do you think it is on a wrong planchet.
Also it is only the proof dimes that are silver, yours is nickel copper clad over copper core
Did you weigh it to two decimal points, that would probably answer your question.
Your, pictures are fine, better than a lot of them we get.

Alas, that copper strip on the edge is what tells the story. It's an ordinary clad 1965 dime.

1965 10C Roosevelt dime -- Struck on a 90% Silver Planchet, Transitional Alloy -- AU58 PCGS. Breen-3761. 2.56 grams. A silver dime should weigh 2.5 grams, and a clad dime typically weighs 2.27 grams. I will take it and get it weighed as the machines I have at home are not for jewelry or coins. Will follow up once I am able to measure. Thank you. It should be 2.56 g it is the real deal. |

Your research has been completed. You came to the right place for answers, you have a normal, common nickel clad over copper and the value is ten cents.

I find it best to compare it against something. Here is a 1964 business strike dime, that is 90% silver. This is what the 1965 would look like if it were a transitional alloy dime.  |

Definitely clad, but maybe someone tried to plate it with silver a long time ago?

to the CCF and  Take a look at your picture, you can see the copper layer on the bottom of the dime. |

to CCF. Agreed, this is a proper planchet for this year. (I can see copper on the edge of your coin) |

unfortunately it's a regular 1965 coin struck on a clad planchet.

I agree. Just a normal dime.
Errers and Varietys.
