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 |
