I came across a 1987 Canadian Dime that looks silver. Is It?

Coins 1919 and before are made of sterling silver (92.5%)santafeboy said:Canadian dimes, quarters, halves and dollars 1921-1967 were made of 80% silver these coins previous to 1921 were 90% silver I just spend the non silver Canadians I find
got my info from my 2009 standard catalog of world coins 1901-2000 ... 36th official editionquiksilver said:up untill part of 1967 canadian dimes were 80% silver , for part of 1967 untill part of 1968 canadian dimes were 50% silver. The same is true for canadian quarters. Canadian halves and dollars were 80% silver untill all of 1967.
Coinflation.com is another good source for information. Please note some info may be confusing and some advice gotten from others may be wrong....including mine.
