Canadian Dime
«

I am asking this question because I currently have my Canadian coin book loaned out.
I recently discovered I had a 1910 Canadian Dime in VF (my opinion) condition. Dimes are about the only Canadian coins I have really never collected.
Is this just a common find, or a more valuable coin.
Any help appreciated.

C C, your 1910 Canadian coin is fairly common dime, having 4.46 million of em minted (The most since Canadian dimes started in 1858). It is a sterling coin (92.5% silver) and is valued around $8 retail in VF condition.

When did Canada switch its dimes from sterling to 80%?

From 1859 to 1919 = 92.5% silver. In 1920 Canada went to the 80% silver dime and kept the 80% silver into 1967, converting to 50% silver during the 1967 yr and into 1968. After around 3 months of the 50% 1968 silver mintages of the dime, the remaining 70% of the 1968 dime was minted in nickel. If you have a 50% and a 80% silver Canadian dime side by side, you can see the difference in the color of the two.....the 50% is whiter with a copperish appearance to the high wear points of the coin. There is no color change to the high wear points of the 80% dime.......and it LOOKS like silver.
