[QUOTE="goldmember, post: 1004079, member: 19304"]My scale only takes grams down to one decimal point, but I think it was bouncing between 5.7 and 5.8. I am pretty sure it is silver because it looks and sounds like silver, and it has the same coloring and weight as a bunch of 1967 Canadian quarters I have. I got my information off the Canadian mint site at [url]http://www.mint.ca/store/mint/learn/25-cents-5300010#25_1[/url] If you click on technical specifications, you can see the following information for quarters: 1953 to 1967 Composition: 80%silver, 20% copper Weight (g): 5.83 Diameter (mm): 23.88 Thickness (mm): n/a 1967 to 1968 Composition: 50% silver, 50% copper Weight (g): 5.05 Diameter (mm): 23.88 Thickness (mm): n/a 1968 to 1977 Composition: 99.9% nickel Weight (g): 5.05 Diameter (mm): 23.88 Thickness (mm): 1.6 What's with all these resources having different specs for the 50% silver weight?[/QUOTE]
