The 1962-D is a 90% silver Roosevelt dime (1946–1964), containing about 0.0723 troy oz of silver. As a common date, its value is essentially its silver melt — roughly $4 at a recent spot price near $59/oz — and circulated common silver dimes typically trade just 5–10% over melt, among the lowest premiums in the junk-silver market. A brilliant uncirculated coin like this adds a small collector premium.
Every pre-1965 Roosevelt, Mercury, Washington and Walking Liberty coin shares that 90% silver content — the foundation of junk-silver stacking.
