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!

Check out my auctions on ebay!: http://shop.ebay.com/lutheranamerican/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p4340

The first place I look is Coinflation.

You must be logged in to see this link.

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.

Awake, O kings of the earth! Come ye, O, come ye, with your gold and your silver, to the help of my people, to the house of the daughters of Zion, to the help of the people of the God of this Land even Jesus Christ.

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
