I found a 1952 dime in my pocket change, it looks pure silver, is this true?

Yes, ninety percent silver. A lot of these silver dimes and quarters were melted down in the late 60's when the price of silver skyrocketed.

Not absolutely pure, but far more so than what they make now. The last "silver" coins were minted in 1964.
