Vancouver IslandCoinKid Forum Kid Canada 1074 Posts	Posted 01/25/2015 4:19 pm silver is non magnetic and nickel when at a pure form and not alloyed with copper or something is magnetic. so yes the silvers are non-magnetic. IMO Report this Post to the Staff

macdon Valued Member Canada 495 Posts	Posted 01/25/2015 4:49 pm @thedollarman I just checked them again, didn't realize I have three sets in white cardboard holders that are from mint in plastic holders. Uncovered a piece of tape over .500 silver on left and right side it says PURE NICKEL ? The dime and 25 cent coins do not respond to my magnetic ? Report this Post to the Staff
skip79 Valued Member Canada 403 Posts	Posted 01/25/2015 4:59 pm Yes, if the magnet is not catching the 10/25¢, then they are silver. They will also look white compared to their nickel counterparts. Report this Post to the Staff

ace_ftw Pillar of the Community Canada 1747 Posts	Posted 01/25/2015 6:04 pm 68 was the last year in which Canada used silver in circulation coinage (25 cents and 10 cents) They are not overly rare. but have a value over face because of the silver content. Report this Post to the Staff
