Canadian Silver Coin Value
Unlike US junk silver which is uniformly 90%, pre-1968 Canadian silver coins are typically 80% silver. (Note: 1967 and 1968 coins can be either 80% or 50% silver, requiring a magnet test to be sure).
This calculator defaults to the standard Canadian 80% silver purity. A pre-1968 Canadian silver dollar contains 0.600 troy ounces of pure silver.
