Canadian nickels (1922 and later) never contained silver. A 1967 Centennial nickel is made of 99.9% nickel and is worth about 15 cents in above-average condition.
Any Canadian dime dated 1967 or earlier is silver. Then some in 1968 were 50% silver, others were pure nickel. The nickel ones are magnetic.
If it's been in circulation, maybe face value to 10 cents.
Canadian nickels (1922-present) never contained silver. Centennial nickels were made of 99.9% pure nickel metal.
its worth bout a 1.50
That's a Canadian centennial nickel from 1967. It's currently worth about 7 cents for the metal content.
The 1968 dollar is 100% nickel. 1967 was the last year that the canada used silver for their coins.
After 1967, Canadian dollar coins no longer contained silver. 1968-86, they're made of pure nickel, and are still worth one dollar each in Canada.
No 1968 was the last year for the Canadian silver quarter.No that's wrong. I possess the same quarter. You can get 1.50 for it.
1967 is a common date for Canadian silver dollars, as well as the last year they were actually made of silver. It's currently worth about $18.
Unfortunately neither dates are silver. After 1967 the Canadian dollars were made of Nickel. They are worth around 1 - 4 dollars in any condition below MS65
There is no silver in the Canadian half dollar dated after 1967. If you have older coins (lucky you), the content is as follows: 1870 - 1919 92.5% silver 7.5% copper 1920 - 1967 80% silver 20% copper
Please don't assume that every older coin must be made of silver. Until they were recently changed to plated steel, Canadian nickels were minted in 99.9% nickel metal. If you think about it for a few seconds, like their American counterparts Canadian nickels are larger than dimes. If the coin had been made of silver it would have had a face value of 5 cents but be worth more than 10 cents (!?)
