<p>[QUOTE="Bill in Burl, post: 1515333, member: 23692"]For Canadian silver from 1920-1967, it was .800 Ag fineness. That makes each face dollar equal to .6 troy oz of silver, if you are looking to scrap any of it. Count up how much in face value that you have, multiply it by .6 and you have full silver oz when minted and new. Multiply that number by the current silver price (US dollars) ... dealers then will give 82-90% of that full silver price. Scrap silver coins are always lighter than the day they were minted. Dealers aren't taking 10-25% off the top .. they need a small profit and aren't buying a "weighed" product .. it is only estimated by face dollars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
