I discovered a pile of Canadian dimes 1960 - 1963.

Do these dimes still have silver. I know the early ones do?

Thanks

All of these dimes have silver.

Everything through 1967 and some 1968.

Great finds!

Thanks for the envy...

The dimes vary from 1960 - 1964.

I have posted a few pics here to see if any of you have some idea of condition.

How many did you find and where? Whats the story behind them. The story is almost as interesting as the hunt.

I was an active coin collector in my teens, when I put rolls together of pennies, dimes and nickels. I then stored them away, and only now, fifty years later, was clearing out my safety deposit box, when I noticed a number of plastic rolls, including this one. I had completely forgotten about these, in fact, I had not even visited my safety deposit box for the past 15 years!
