The easiest way (and most likely cheapest) would be to get a coin book from the library. They have pricing guides and grading guides. They will also direct your attention to any special markings, like mint of origin or flaws that might make it worth more. If you want to find out what you'd get for it, try to find a coin dealer of some sort. Not the easiest thing to do, but you should be able to track one down online.

The 1947 Roosevelt dime is indeed made of silver. It is .900 silver and .100 copper. It contains .07234 oz of pure silver. If it has a mint mark it is on the reverse above the E in one. Unless the coin is in a very high circulated grade or mint state it is worth only 7 to 8 times face for it's silver. The D-Denver and S-San Francisco sell for a little more in high grade, than the one with out the mint mark (Philadelphia mint). That is only 2-8 dollars and that is a retail ,so you would get 40% less or so from a dealer.
