TheSilverVoyager New Member Canada 5 Posts	Posted 08/09/2011 11:11 pm Cool findings in my change. While at Tim Hortons, I received both a 1946 King George VI Penny and a 1968 .50 Silver Dime (Confirmed to be silver via magnet test) in my change. Just wondering about any thoughts you may have, because I am a novice coin collector, on rarity and value. Report this Post to the Staff

west- canuk Valued Member Canada 497 Posts	Posted 08/10/2011 01:51 am It's been years since I found any silver in my change, lucky you.It has a bullion value of about $1.30. Although also an interesting find the George cent is worth a cent. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10460 Posts	Posted 08/10/2011 11:27 am I recently received a well-circulated 1980 1-cent from Tim Horton's with a decent sized clip error. If only I could sift through those boxes that sit on the counter!

Prana New Member Canada 17 Posts	Posted 08/31/2011 1:28 pm I was looking at the mints web site and it does not say they made 10 cent coins of 50% silver that year. Is the website wrong? 1968 to 1977 Composition: 99.9% nickel Weight (g): 2.07 Diameter (mm): 18.034 Thickness (mm): 1.16 Report this Post to the Staff
DvntMstr Valued Member Canada 223 Posts	Posted 08/31/2011 5:57 pm I would guess the 1946 penny to be about EF what I think is nice about it is the fact it is a complete double date, I can see doubling on all 4 digits in the date unless its a glare in the picture. If it is a double date in that condition its worth a bit more than a penny :)Id have a closer look at it. The dime, like you were told has a better silver value than collectable value but it is still a nice find. Report this Post to the Staff
kitkat1858 Valued Member Canada 371 Posts	Posted 08/31/2011 6:02 pm I would say the 1946 penny is in Fine condition and no better than that, but it's still really cool to find Georges in change, as they become harder and harder to find. Report this Post to the Staff
