Got a 1938 dime in a CWR today. Is this dime 80% or just clad. I also got a few 1964's if memory serves me correctly.
Thanks for your help.

It is 80% silver. Now what do you mean by clad?

Copper/Nickel composition.

As TCG stated above, the 1938 is 80% silver. The 1964s are also 80% silver. Those are some very nice finds!

Copper/Nickel composition.

Such a composition was never used for Canadian dimes.

I found a 1900 Victoria dime, would that be considered sterling?

Well, I found out it is thanks to Sagi's chart.
