Just noticed a small error in the video. Near the end when you were summarizing the years which contain which percentages it seems like you said "dimes, quarters, 50 cent pieces, and half dollars" as opposed to "50 cent pieces and dollars"
So how do you separate the other metals in money if you were going to melt it down for just the silver. Is this a hard process. Also. Can I go to our Canadian banks and buy rolls of coins like they do in the States?
Can’t help you on smelting question, other than in Canada it’s illegal (so far) to do so. Only the Mint can do it “legally”. Yes, you can buy rolls of coins like in USA, helps if you have an account there. Of course, your chances of finding silver coins is low, because our Mint has an ARP in effect (alloy recovery program), where they cull coins with silver to recover the precious metal for current requirements. 🇨🇦
@@lionroarlion It could be due to wear, I saw silver coins in the coin shop where the date was indiscernible, and there were other signs of wear present on the coin
good vid... an easy way to tell apart 50% and 80% silver is simply to drop them on the table and compare the ting sound they make. of coarse you'll need one of each to hear the difference but it is an obviously different ting they make. you should have said though that they took silver out of our money because of the lowering of the value of the dollar - the value of silver has remained relatively unchanged throughout history.
That's definitely a way that people experienced with silver hunting can figure it out. But I do have to disagree with you on your second point, the price of silver spiked drastically partway through 1967
This was the best and clearest description i came across explaining the changes. Good job!
Excellent video, very clearly explained 👍

Just subscribed, I find so many Canadian pennies!

Thanks CCK, is there a tell between the 50-80% for the transition?
Very cool sure, great show, thank you. New sub here.

Goodvideo, friend
Did Canada have any proof nickels that were silver?
Great Video! Canadian Silver is the best!!!
I love ❤️ history of many countries
what about the coins that are without dates??
No Canadian coins have ever been issued without dates
@@CanadianKingCoins i have some coins that are without years.
@@lionroarlion if they are Canadian coins that is impossible, there has never been a coin produced without a year on it

Awesome video ckc
I have one of those dollars. The first design you showed
So 1858 was a 1 year type. Sounds like it from how you said it
Yes, 20¢ coins were only produced in 1858. For the next issue of Canadian coins in 1870 they changed to a 25¢ coin
Really nice quick reference video.. It does get confusing.. 😁
Than you! I tried to make it a bit more condensed than my usual content
i have a quarter,loonie and toonie
Ah man all my nickels aren't silver :(
The ones that don't stick to magnets

@@CanadianKingCoins the price of silver varies somewhat but the dollar has only ever decreased in value since its inception.
