Keep an eye on the canadian dimes. Pre 1967 were 80% silver, 1967-1968 50% silver. However in 1968 I think they also started with the clad version as well. I found a 1962 a few days ago.

Congrats on the silver dime! I've noticed alot of you are saving the post-silver Canadians. Is it just to fill an album? I've thrown back hundreds of them this year, no sir, I don't like 'em! A full roll of Canadian dimes is 3/4 as long as a US roll....the coin counter spits em out like a bad taste! Maybe I will start saving them for others that collect em. FFD
