Elaine5006 Valued Member United States 62 Posts	Posted 06/12/2015 7:18 pm I have come across, 25 cent, 10 Cent, 5 Cent, 50 Cent Canadian Coins dated 1884 to 1958. Are these dates silver coins? Report this Post to the Staff

X2an Pillar of the Community Sweden 1078 Posts	Posted 06/12/2015 7:21 pm Yes, if the five cent is from 1921 or earlier. Otherwise, (almost) anything 10, 25 or 50 cents from before 1969 is silver. 1919 and earlier and they are of sterling (.925) fineness Report this Post to the Staff
denny7000 Pillar of the Community Canada 1018 Posts	Posted 06/12/2015 7:22 pm What years are the nickels? The other denominations are all silver. There are some small nickels pre-1922 I think that are silver. Report this Post to the Staff
Elaine5006 Valued Member United States 62 Posts	Posted 06/12/2015 7:35 pm The 5Cent pieces are tiny and they are dated from 1892 to 1910 Report this Post to the Staff
Elaine5006 Valued Member United States 62 Posts	Posted 06/12/2015 7:42 pm The 1927 5 cent coin is large and a magnet sticks to it. There is a coin that is tiny like the 5 cent pieces and it has a large 3 on the reverse. It is dated 1884. It also has a hole above the crown. I bought these from my mothers estate. Originally the coins were my grandmothers. She was Canadian. We took the coins to a dealer to see what they might be worth and he said "those are Canadian and worth nothing" He did not look at them. He was only interested the USA Coins. Report this Post to the Staff
denny7000 Pillar of the Community Canada 1018 Posts	Posted 06/12/2015 7:43 pm They are silver too! That dealer wasn't a very good one if he thought they were worth nothing. If you are looking to sell them find a reputable dealer who has some knowledge on CND silver coins, you could have some valuable dates and depending on condition they could be worth alot.

Elaine5006 Valued Member United States 62 Posts	Posted 06/12/2015 7:50 pm I do not plan to sell. We only went to the dealer to see how much I should pay the estate. I Think over all I got a screaming deal on the whole lot. Report this Post to the Staff
Elaine5006 Valued Member United States 62 Posts	Posted 06/12/2015 7:53 pm I don't have the coins in hand, they are back in the bank vault. When I get them out again I will take some photos. Report this Post to the Staff
