There are two varieties of the 1968 Canadian quarter. One is 50% silver with 50% copper, and the other is pure nickel. The easiest way to tell them apart is with a magnet. The nickel version is magnetic, while the silver/copper version is not.

Silver 5-cent pieces were struck from 1858 to 1921, although most 1921 issues were never circulated. Until 1919 they were struck in sterling silver, an alloy of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. Starting in 1920 the silver content of Canadian coins was reduced to 80% silver and 20% copper where it remained until the 1960s.Clarifications:Silver 5-cent coins didn't contain nickel so they weren't called "nickels".The first nickel 5-cent coins were minted in 1922 rather than 1923.
