Question about Canadian Dimes

[Piledriver]

What is the weight of a canadian dime 1968 50% silver?
(As opposed to a 1968 Canadian dime made of nickel?)

An easier way to tell if the coin is silver is to stick a magnet up to it. if the coin doesn't stick to the magnet, it is silver. if the coin does stick, it is not silver. (try both sides of the magnet to be accurate) hh!

Thanks !!

Nine times out of ten, you can tell the difference just by sight, the 50% silver has a different patina.

Dont forget that generally all 1967 dimes and quarters will be treated as 50% silver.

I believe our northern brethren have already confirmed that they're treated like 65%ers; as '67 dimes and quarters cannot be differentiated between which ones are 50% and which are 80%.
