Arkie Pillar of the Community United States 2637 Posts	Posted 11/04/2017 11:37 am Bought a 1968 dime that was in plastic, as if from a proof-like set (although it did not look prooflike). Turned out it was silver (non-magnetic). Are any/all of the coins in the proof-like sets 50% silver? Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 11/04/2017 12:49 pm The proof-like plastic has a unique embossed pattern on it, with RCM or Royal Canadian Mint all around the edges.

Arkie Pillar of the Community United States 2637 Posts	Posted 11/04/2017 2:09 pm It was just the dime cut away. But the packaging does not look like the proof-like sets I have from the 60s. Why would a business strike dime be in a sealed plastic bubble? I cut it out to check the magnetic response. Report this Post to the Staff
