muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7197 Posts	Posted 04/18/2011 09:54 am Over the years I have acquired some Canadian silver but I do not know the silver content of these coins. I assume that Canada did some reductions in silver during the mid 60's and by 69 no silver was issued. What is the silver content of Canadian silver and when did they change the content?

Here's a link to show how Canadian bullion buyers sort the different contents,you'll see '67 and '68 are listed seperately Hope the mods allow this link http://www.bullioncoinsandbars.com/...er-coins.htm Edited by DBM 04/18/2011 10:34 am Report this Post to the Staff
General Tso Valued Member United States 341 Posts	Posted 04/18/2011 10:23 am Canadian coins were 80% from the 20's +/- up to 1967. Then from 1967 to 1968 it changed to 50%. Report this Post to the Staff
jimineez Valued Member United States 287 Posts	Posted 04/18/2011 11:19 am How was that for quick help! FYI- in the states, Canadian "junk" usually brings a little less per ounce of actual silver than us "junk" silver. For instance, the dealer I use pays $1.25 under spot for Canadian, and just $0.75 under spot for US. Report this Post to the Staff
