After finding 16 roosevelt silver dimes and 15 canadian dimes, I found a silver canadian dime. Unfortunately, it's worth slightly less than an american silver dime.

Nice find!
A Roosevelt silver dime contains 2.5x.9= 2.25 grams of silver.
The Canadian 1955 10cent contains 2.33x.8= 1.864 grams of silver.
So there is about 20% more silver in the US dime, a significant difference.

Many years ago working at a coin shop near the border, we were very familiar with this difference in value.
