Just wondering if anyone out there can tell me if there is a way to know the difference between a %50 silver or a %80 silver 1967 dime. other then analysis of the metals.

colkern , very nice looking notes. sorry cant help with getting them Graded . But you cant keep us wondering "you Won them" I wish i could be so lucky

Had not noticed that "wiser3'
another tie in to the 1943 Tombac.
i prefer no color on coins but will probably try and get one for the collection if i get a chance.
Looking forward to the day that coin shows and 'in person" auctions are back.

As is so often mentioned , Would be great to see a photo of this Coin.

Great job with the photos . And welcome to the forum

Thanks for your inputs , it isnt a big thing i just thought it would be easier to determine if you had a thick or thin planchet by its weight rather then trying to measure it thickness. and yes coinguy i thought they were 100% nickel till i read the RCM report that henrysmedford highlighted!!!!!!!

thanks but seems strange 1968 to 1982 they used a planchet 2.62 mm thick then 1982 to 1986 the planchet was only 2.55 mm but the weight did not change, 15.62 g i guess the one planchet was 99% Nickel and the other 99.9% nickel I wonder what the other metal was to make up the last 1% to .1%

Just noticed in the Price guide and Values on this web site they indicate Two different Planchets used in 1982, A Thin Planchet used for some of the coins . Can anyone tell me was there any difference in the weight of the two Planchets. If i'm not mistaken ( i have been before) they continued using ...

Can’t say I have heard of anyplace in sask. or man. But I believe there is in Calgary, hopefully there is someone out there that can give you a better answer.

I would have to agree , with only 21135 of the 1947ml made it’s surprising that the don’t demand a higher value!!! And I think I have seem more of the 1948 for sale on auction sites then I ever have the 1947ml.
Anyone out there have a explanation???

Coin guy your technically correct but I’m a bit with LDW, I have a hard time not calling a 5 cent coin a nickel . The 5 cent coin made today is still a nickel to me . Hard for me to break old habits.

Thanks for the info coinguy, didn’t know the RCM sold pucks to . You can see why I read everything but don’t normally give advise.

Welcome to the site CdN$$Collector, dont know that i can help you much but i take it this is a colored coin. I believe they produced a coin that year for all of the Canadian NHL teams. sorry my coin book has no mintage of that coin but hopfully some one out there can provide more info. I'm thinking ...

Welcome to the forum Canadian Banknotes, great to hear your story of currencies collecting. I agree with you on the great art work of bank notes. But somehow I go to coin shows and often come home with both notes and coins.

Really nice notes Bruce5pm, thanks for showing them to us.
