What I have seen is that people don't care about canadians. I've gotten penny dumps where every wheat was taken, but perfectly old canadians were left. Also, half of my silver quarters were canadian. I'd didn't know much about their silver years until recently.

I have found several 1968 canadian dimes and just my luck everyone stuck to a magnet, no silver. did you give yours the magnet test?

Silver is silver. Congrats. Foreign silver can be more valuable than US silver coins. In the 40's, the US coin collecting community was well established. Consequently, you can find high grades of coins for a collection. When dealing with foreign coins, the collecting community might not have been attuned to desirable coins (low mintages, etc.) Also, the foreign country's population might not have had an established collecting community to save the coins. One of my best foreign coins found in CRH'ing was a Cuban diez centavo.

I have found 10 silver Canadians so far this year, $15k in dimes searched. The '68 is a hard silver to come by, but I'll get lots of non-silver ones. I would have to say that my chances of mercs are almost neck and neck with canadian silver. FFD
