Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6473 Posts	Posted 08/03/2023 3:44 pm These two Canadian 10¢ coins were in the roll of Roosevelt silver dimes that I inherited from my grandfather. I know virtually nothing about Canadian coins. As I understand it, 1968 had both 50/50 silver-copper 10c pieces and also 100% nickel 10c coins. The coin on the right is violently magnetic. The coin on the left has zero magnet response. Do I have one of each type? Assuming that is the case, is there any numismatic value to either coin? Edit, I will add that the left coin mass is 2.21g. Right coin mass is 2.03g. Edited by Brandmeister 08/03/2023 3:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

loonielewy Pillar of the Community Canada 1775 Posts	Posted 08/03/2023 5:04 pm Left one is silver. Worth way more than face in silver content, but that's about all for the value. The right, nickel, one is from 1 of 2 different mints. It's all in the reeding. There is a RCM version, and a Philadelphia Mint version. Let us know what you found.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6473 Posts	Posted 08/03/2023 5:49 pm Thanks for the pointers. =) Top to bottom: silver Roosevelt dime, clad Roosevelt dime, the .500 silver 1968 Canadian 10 cents, the nickel metal 1968 Canadian 10 cents. According to the reference below, the 10c coin struck in Ottawa by RCM has V-shaped grooves. The 10c coins struck by the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia have a square edge like Roosevelt dimes. So it appears this is the RCM/Ottawa version of the coin. https://coin-brothers.com/catalog/c...tween%20them. Report this Post to the Staff
loonielewy Pillar of the Community Canada 1775 Posts	Posted 08/03/2023 8:57 pm Good stuff. I think you called it right. Now you need the Philadelphia one to complete the set.
