Hello,
How do you determine the amount of silver in .925 Canadian Silver Coins, 1919 and prior? I know that for post 1920 coins there are .6 troy ounces of silver per dollar; but how much for pre 1920?
Thanks!

The first place I look is Coinflation.

I see they don’t go as far back as 1919. I take this to mean that older coins may have more value as collector pieces.

For this question I now pull out my trusty but rusty (or rather wrinkled) copy of Collecting World Coins, 11th Edition.
Canada Coins
10 cents 1919 & earlier
coin weight 2.324 grams
.925 silver
.0691 oz silver weight
25 cents
1919-1910
coin weight 5.8319 grams
.925 silver
.1734 oz silver weight
1909 & earlier
coin weight 5.81 grams
.1728 oz silver weight
50 cents
1919-1910
coin weight 11.6638 grams
.925 silver
.3461 oz silver weight
1910 & earlier
coin weight 11.62 grams
.3456 oz silver weight
The weights listed are most likely for uncirculated coins, expect weights to be lower for coins with wear on them.
I did manage to buy a few of these coins though I paid for their silver content, not their collectable value.
There was a silver 5 cent coin 1919 & earlier
1.162 gram weight
.0346 oz silver weight
1920-1921
1.1664 gram coin weight
.800 silver
.300 silver weight |
