I came across about 3 dollars in Canadian dimes, dating 1967 and older. How much are they worth?

Each coin 1920-1966 when minted weighed 2.32g of 80% silver equalling an ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of 0.0597 troy oz.

A 1967 dime when minted weighed 2.32g of 80% or 50% silver (so generally accepted as 65% since the mintages are roughly equal) equalling an ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of 0.0485 troy oz.

Awesome! Thank you! I tried googling all day yesterday, and couldn't come up with an answer anywhere.

Add "ASW" in your search to come up with more results maybe?

Try the Canadian coin calculator from coin news. It lets you choose the denomination, year and currency for the value. It is based on the daily spot price and is fairly accurate.

If you want to sell Canadian coins for their melt value, the best place to go is the Canadian Mint. They have licensed representatives across the country and they pay anywhere from 95 to 98% of the daily spot price for your coins.

Right now the coin calculator puts the price of a pre-1968 dime at $1.22 USD or $1.33 Cad.

I was just looking for a numbasistic (sp) value. I collect solver coins.

For higher grade examples or older ones you can look them up at http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices.php Take the prices with the usual grain of salt though. If you're not sure about grading there is a (partially complete) grading guide as well with pictures http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-grading.php

My recent experience selling Canadian silver coins, other than really exceptional or rare ones is the majority of buyers, even dealers will offer about 70% to 75% of melt value at best. The ones I've met recently (mostly dealers)don't even want to talk about numismatic value. That's why I've locked the Canadian silver into a safety deposit box at the bank and it's staying there until silver goes back to about $30 CAD per ounce.
