<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 2534940, member: 74863&quot;]1967 was the centennial of the Canadian confederation and the government issued a comprehensive series of commemorative coins. The 10 cents shows a mackerel fish. For most intents and purposes, these coins contain 0.05 troy ounces of silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>As always in coin collecting, there is a twist. Some 1967 dimes contain 0.06 troy ounces of silver, and other 1967 dimes contain 0.0375 troy ounces of silver. There is no easy way to discern the difference. Both coins look the same and both weigh the same. The composition of the alloy changes from 80 percent silver to 50 percent silver, which gives them differing silver content. The 0.05 troy ounce figure above is an average. There is no easy method to tell the difference.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
