They are all scrap silver. Those before 1920 are .925 silver. Those 1920-1967 are .800 and every face dollar of the 20-67 coins equal .6 troy ounces of silver. Silver today is $20.66 CDN per ounce, so each face dollar (10 dimes, 4 quarters, etc) is worth $24 for FULL FACE VALUE. Most buyers will give you around 85% of full scrap for normally circulated coins ... for ones like you've shown, probably 75-80% because the coins weigh so much less now than they were when new. Go to the CoinsandCanada website and look at the grading scales/photos that they have there or buy a copy of Vol 1 of Charlton who has a good grading guide in the front. Learn what all the grades from VF-UNC REALLY means so you can get an idea of any premium worth. Any below VF will be scrap silver unless a scarce coin ... you need to read/study before you sell or you will taken advantage of.

Yes, I can see that my math was a tad off ... I thought that it sounded high. I just sold a few thousands worth for a friend at the last Expo ... almost all mint crap and 68's. Yes, 12.40 a troy ounce it is and I think that I got $11/dollar but some was sold by weight, not per dollar.
The '71 might sell for a small premium, but the rest are scrap. You can't sell a coin to a book or for any book price .. you have to find a person with a wallet, and the condition of your coins is not very good.

Most of it looks like melt value unfortunately.
