MountainLady Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 07/17/2007 01:58 am I recently ordered 10 Canadian silver dollars in AU condition at $9 each. What I would like to know is how silver dollars can sell for $9. Is there less than an ounce of silver in Canadian silver dollars? Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16834 Posts	Posted 07/17/2007 04:06 am Yes. Canadian circulating silver dollars, issued 1936-1967, were made of .800 fine silver and an actual silver weight (ASW) of 0.6 ounces. After 1968, the circulating dollars were made of nickel, and commemorative dollars were 0.500 fine silver, 0.375 oz ASW. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

If your dollars are in AUNC condition and are special dates then not a bad deal depending on what it cost you on top ie. shipping etc. Unfortunately the cdn dollar is not one oz.

MountainLady Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 07/17/2007 4:20 pm Thanks to both of you for your help. I did pay $5 for postage. There is no place close to where we live that I could buy the dollars from a dealer. So, I'm happy with the transaction, and look forward to getting the silver dollars in the mail.
