Hi, JTF and welcome. I'm not much into the grayside but I have a Krause catalog so here goes:

10 Cents until 1968 and proofs from 1998 on
25 Cents until 1968 and proofs from 1996 on
50 Cents until 1966 and proofs from 1996 on
1 Dollars from 1936-1966 and 1972 proofs
2 Dollars - gold plated silver - 1996 proofs
Various Commemorative Proofs through to the present
Ok, any of you graysiders out there want to check my research, please?

Thank you Satootoko. You definitely took it one step further. I admire your tenacity.

 

.50 and $1.00 were also silver in 1967

 

Those both commemorated the centennial of Canadian Confederation, and were listed by Krause in the commemorative section, along with many, many other special subject coins.

 

I want to make it clear that I am not arguing with anyone. I have nothing but respect and admiration for the moderators of this forum.
The $1.00 and 50 cent coins,although they seldom did, were intended as circulating coins.In 1967 all the coins had reverse images that represented animal themes and they were unique to that year.I'm pretty sure that the $1.00 and 50 cent coins were not specifically intended to commemorate the Centennial of Confederation and if they were the same would be true of all the coins for that year.
As I said - I'm not arguing with anyone, just trying to give a Canadian perspective on Canadian coins.

I don't see anything argumentative about your posts, Bill.

I think we're lucky to have a Canadian coin specializer here on this forum.

Keep up the good work.
