What is the value of a 1968 Canadian quarter?

Answer 1

There are a few ways to tell the difference between a 50% silver and 80%

silver 1967 canadian quarter. You can do a simple at home specific gravity test.

Do a search online on how to do it. Another simple way (but takes a little practice

and also having a good ear) is a drop test. Take a 50% silver quarter (1968 Canada) and drop it from about 4 inches onto a hard flat surface. A computer desk

top works great. That surface will not harm the coin also. Drop it a few times until you get the sound down that it makes. Then compare that sound to your 1967 quarters. If alike then the 67 is 50% silver. If the pitch is higher in tone then it is

80% silver. You can also get an idea of what an 80% silver quarter sounds like by dropping an earlier year (1966 and back) quarter and use that sound for comparison.
