Found two Canadian silver dimes. Coin star finds.

too bad you didn't find a 1966.

I didn't know coinstar didn't accept canadian coins around here. But 1968 was the last year for a silver canadian dime I think, so maybe that threw off the CoinStar.

 

Are you sure the 68 is silver? They switched over that year and are hard to tell apart. Nice find though

Yeah they don't accept the Canadian quarters either. I always find Canadian coins in there.

 

I heard that if you throw a canadian silver coin into a lake, it splashes differently than a clad coin thrown into a lake. Or maybe that was something else. Maybe check the edge to see if they're all silver.

I just looked it up how to tell if it's magnetic it's not silver. Lol thanks. The 65 is silver.

 

The edges will all be silver anyways since they aren't clad like our coins.

 

LOL I would lose it if I did that I checked with a magnet is 68 is not silver but this 65 is. I have never seen a copper edge on the Canadian dime coins. They all look silver.

 

I have a changeover 1968 Canadian quarter and it's not silver, unfortunately. It's seems to be a bit harder to find silver coins from 1968. Still, very nice finds!

Surprising that the Coinstar does not accept Canadian coins, because I've gotten them in change numerous times.

 

1965-1966 .800 silver .200 copper
1967-1968 .500 silver .500 copper
1968 1.0 nickel

 

Nice finds by the way.

 

Yes most of the 68's are nickel. But some are 50% silver.
Nice 1965 though. 80% on that one.

 

I just got a 50 yr old moose as change

 

Make that 1922 -1966 .800 silver .200 copper
1921 and earlier they were sterling silver .925 fine
