Hi!
The title gave it away. I'm looking for a Canadian UNC/BU 1968 10 cent coin that was minted by the Philadelphia mint.
I have contacted many online dealers and no one seems to be willing to help...
Any help would be appreciated!

Next time, be clear in the topic title and do not create new topics to correct mistakes. If you cannot edit a topic, report it to the staff for a correction.

This is what you are looking for 1968 dime in silver and nickel, the flat grooves are for Philly and the V shape are for Ottawa. I do have some but the best I can do for you is XF maybe AU  |

Crazy that I can't seem to find one in mint state for the life of me.

You may have to buy a bunch of MS dimes and then compare the grooves.

I have sent one Philadephia 10 cent to ICCS that came back MS65. I think I sold it for around $50. I found a whole bunch of MS silver ones a few years back and sold them off on ebay for around $5 to $10 each. They are around. CRH might work but logic would suggest that you either going to get a roll of strike outs or a roll of successes. Best way might be to go to a dealer that buys silver and ask to buy a bunch of rolls of 1968 silver. |

According to Charlton, Philadelphia only made nickel blanks for the 1968 10 cents. And only for business strikes.

I got mine at a coin show, marked as Philly mint, not MS, but needed for the collection. Good luck on the hunt. CRH came up a nogo. Expected though.

I sent over 3 dozen e-mail to Canadian coin dealers and not a single one wanted to help. It's either they think it's a low cost coin or it's not worth the hassle...
I'm willing to pay for one! I've been offered several AU coins but would really like to find a nice BU one.

I have both about 10 of each from CRH or I should say silver Philly and Ottawa plus nickel Philly and Ottawa.

There are silver dimes from Philadelphia  I did not know that. The price guides just show the two different for nickel. From what I gather from people who were around back then, it was a novelty when they first came out, but after a while people didn't really care where they were minted as neither mintage is rare. |
