I found a silver Canadian dime when I lived in Idaho. I love Canadian silver coins... The quarters are prob my favs. I'm putting together a nice foreign silver type set buying them @/under melt. Foreign silver tends to sell for a bit less than US silver coins.

Canadian silver coins have less silver than their American counterparts. Not for lack of purity but they are smaller.

I get lots of Canadian in Michigan. Lots of silver, too. Have not found a half dollar however.

The halves are 80%, so they are less pure too. (92.5% before 1920)

Even the sterling have less silver than our 90% coins.

man idc if they have 80% silver that just means you can buy more!

the ASW - actual silver Weigh - in Troy OZes of the Canadian coins all pan out even number.

a half dollar 80% = .300 OZT
dollar silver coin - .600 OZT
and excetterah.

I am admiring my latest ebay buy - $40 - a Proof like set in a capital plastics cointain 1964 canadian coin set. It has the silver dollar. Very neat. Positive energy, yes!

But silver is silver and living in michigan, we see a lot of canadian here. In most stores though anything over a quarter we won't take due to the currency exchange rate. I am wondering where do most people get the rolls of canooks? Unless you are living at the border or check out a big big bank, how would you get rolls of canook dimes and quarters?

Love the half dollar btw. That is totally sweet.

Hugs and Smiles,

The exchange rate is in Canada's favor. Their dollar is worth more than ours.

I get my canadian coins by asking. Every bank. Right after I clear them out of halfs.

I've been saving all Canadian coins just for the favorable exchange.

I am not looking forward to rolling all my crappy dimes, and quarters, and post 81 nickes, and post 97 pennies.

Someday, with a good movie, and some good medicine, and a handfull of paper rolls, I will get my canadian rolled. I always say to the teller I am going to whistler! haha, I want to, but we'll see.

I have them partially sorted.

I stopped buying loonies and toonies though - to find a 999 fine toonie would be nice, but they only made...like 2000 of them?

That would be nice! I fund a 1996 Toonie in my drawer from my fly-in fishing days.

found 1, it was a 62 or 63, can't recall, but same look as the picture posted with the queen on the obverse and the coat of arms on the reverse.
