Just finished a box of Dimes, Canadian Silver Dime?

[maverick]

So I just finished up a box of dimes that I got earlier this week and found 1 64 Rosie and 1 46 Canadian Dime, I think it is silver, but I'm not positive. Maybe somebody on here can tell me ( Canadian Hunter) if it is. Here are a couple of pics. If it is, then this is my first Canadian silver! And again, Good luck to everyone searchin today! Maverick.

This link has all the information you need.

Let me google that for you


If you ever have a question, just Google it first. If you couldn't read the language of the coin, I understand. But this coin is from North America, and from the 20th century.

You went through the trouble of scanning it and everything.

Otherwise, nice coin.

Thank you CoinFetcher, yes, I guess I could have googled it first, but I thought other people on here might like to see it too. I thought that is what we do here, post pics and show what we have found in our searches. Thanks, Maverick.

The 1946 George VI dime has an 80% silver composition compared to the american 90% silver composition.

George is always good for a little silver!

Keep on Rollin' !

Nice ol silver find!

[BuffaloBoy]

that's a keeper for sure... 80% silver to be exact, 0.06 oz ASW compared to the US 90% silver dime containing 0.07234 oz ASW... but to take into consideration, the accuracy on the US silver dime is to the 5th decimal place where the canadian dime is only to the 2nd...

nice catch Maverick!

Amen. I can not assume people found this site via google? They can use it. And it would take 30 seconds to find info like this. Blah...

It would, but it was also posted to show that he found the coin, in addition to the question, which could have been Googled.

Forum: Coin Roll Hunting

A great way to find old coins is to purchase rolls of coins from banks. Misstrikes, silver, proof, even rare coins can be found. Post your "Roll Hunting" experiences and questions here!


This is my "Google" for coins. Maverick.

Hey maverick, nice score. I've found three silver Canadians but not that old. Mine have queen Elizabeth on them. Canadian coins are kind of cool having the same person on the different coins. I've got king George on pennies and nickels and would love to get a dime also. 5 boxes coming tomorrow. Hope I score.

It's because it is the queen. Queen Elizabeth II is the head of state of Canada (representative figure). Why Canada keeps the queen I don't know, but I think it is nice to keep some history, she has no power anyway.
