Question On Canadian Nickels

A bicentennial coin would be remarkable for a country only 146 years old ;)

Anyway, ALL of Canada's 1967 coinage is worth keeping. Here's the full rundown:

1 cent: The rock dove, also known as the pigeon. They're the exact same animal. These cents are made of copper, and they're the only commemorative cent design ever used for circulation in Canada.
5 cents: A rabbit. These are 99.9% nickel (unlike American nickels, which are cupronickel) and have a current metal value of about 7 cents each. I keep all the 99.9% nickels I come across to sell on ebay one day.
10 cents: A mackerel. These are either 50% or 80% silver. Obviously they're keepers!
25 cents: A puma/mountain lion/cougar/whatever. Same as the dime, they are composed of two different amounts of silver. Most wholesalers will take them either at the low rate of 50% silver or the average of ~65% silver. If you have the knack for telling them apart by ear, you could make money by selling only 50% silver coins at a 65% silver price. The problem would be finding a buyer you could later convince that you had nothing but 80% in your stash.
50 cents: A wolf. If you ever need this advice, I'd love to hear how you found this one in American circulation. All Centennial 50-cent pieces and dollar coins are 80% silver, possibly due to their large size.
1 dollar: A Canada Goose. Contains 0.6 troy ounces of silver. The last circulation silver dollar ever made in Canada. Good luck finding one of these bad boys in an Ike bag :P

No, they were switched to 50% silver midway through the year due to rising silver costs.

My bet is that I have the 1 cent. I will check tonight and report back. Really do appreciate the guidance.

Sesquicentennial's coming up (2017), I'm pretty excited. If they have a contest I've already got a loonie design to submit :P

I knew that the 1967 coins were hard to find because they were centennials but I had no idea about the 1991 and 1970 nickels. Gonna have to check my mini Canadian hoard.

...

Nothing. But I got a 1992, is that worth anything?

sorry typo error I meant to say I was stupid and gave them away

Turns out I'm still interested in this topic over 3 years later! I clicked on it to find I had commented before.

In the late 60s and through the 80s my grandfather owned laundromats not too far from the border. We went through $900.00 of change per week back then and got a lot of Canadian change. I remember personally only finding one 1967. He had only found a couple. I do not believe we ever got a 1970. However, we got every other date from 1937 on.

Also interesting we never got any nickels before 1937 for some reason.

BTW its not a puma on the quarter... its a Lynxx.
