Was at a garage sale here in Canada today
Picked up a bunch of Canadian coins for $10 while going through them found a

1974D One Dollar and a 1979P One dollar

Is the 1974 40% silver and the 1979 nickel?

I don't know much about those coins, but cool find! I have only seen coins at 1 garage sale and the guy was asking ridiculous prices. So I passed.

Did you get any old cents, Half Cents or nickels? I just love their old cents. I think they are so attractive. I'm talking about the larger ones from way back..
