Your dime is 80% silver 20% copper.1920 to 1966,the ratio was 80/20.Before that it was .925/.75. 1967 they made both 50/50 and 80/20 but its almost impossible to tell the difference.This was only in dimes and quarters.The Dollars and half dollars were still 80/20. 1968 was the last year for silver.It was only in dimes and quarters and the ratio was 50/50.Hope that helped a bit
