    The Wayte Raymond coin books and albums listed mint marks in the chronological order that the mints were established. The current Whitman products list them in alphabetical order (after Philadelphia), because when the early Whitman products copied the Raymond products the Raymond people told them to stop copying them.

    A mercury dime in 1932 had 2c of silver in it. A dime wasn't even a dime back then. A peace silver dollar....22 cents in silver.

    Please Explain. 1932 Mercs are really rare and did they have any silver?

    My red book says if it says 1932 it's fake.....The mint did not make any in 32 or 33.

    So, I'll guessing they didn't contain any silver. ;)
