I got a silver dime in my change the other day, first time iv seen a silver coin in circulation, I may have come across some in the past and didn't know. Pretty worn out coin I think, don't think there is any errors or anything just a silver coin:p   |

The 6 in 65 almost looks like a 5 I think it's just a poor little beaten up 6

Nice find, definitely a damaged 6, if it was a 1955 it would have George on the front, not Elizabeth.

1952 was the last year for George VI coinage. Elizabeth II coinage started in 1953.

It's hard to find pre 1967 Canadian coins so when I got this one I was like sweet, silver. The dimes and Penny's are a lot easier to come across pre 1967 but iv never actually looked into my Pennies and nickels. But now I check all the change that comes my way. Some times at work I just cycle quarters and stuff through the vending machines. Get alot of set coins from them I'm trying to find the special Olympics error coin with curling. But iv yet to come across a single one even the normal version
