How much silver is in a Canadian quarter?

Answer 1

Canadian quarters have not contained any silver since the middle of 1968. Compositions have been:

• 1908-1919: 92.5% silver, 7.5% copper; weight ~5.82 gm
• 1920-1967: 80% silver, 20% copper; weight 5.83 gm
• 1968 (briefly): 50% silver, 50% copper; weight 5.05 gm
• 1968-1999: 99.9% nickel, weight 5.05 gm
• 2000-present: 94.0% steel, 3.8% copper, remainder nickel plating

Answer 2

yes it is, 80% silver and 20% copper. Unlike US Coins, Canadian coins have never been made of a "sandwich" composed of two different metals so none of them show the distinctive copper stripe that appears on the edges of US dimes, quarters, halves, and dollars. Following the removal of silver from Canadian Coins in 1968, dimes and quarters have been struck either in nickel or plated steel, neither of which results in an edge stripe.

Answer 3

If it's dated 1969 or later, none.

1968 could be 50% silver or none

Before that, 80%.
