Description

The listing, Rare Silver/Copper Dime 1968 has ended.

This is a rare Canadian dime from the year 1968 It's in great shape with little to no wear on it even the ridges are deep,
1968 is an odd year for the Canadian dime, from 1967 and earlier the dimes contained 80%+ silver and the rest nickle
in 1969 they changed the dime to all nickle, however for half a year in 1968 they produced these dimes that are 50% Pure Silver and 50% Copper, this unique mix of precious metal is the reason behind the gold hue of the coin after it's years of age.

sorry for blurry pictures they where taken with a camera phone, I'll assure you that the coin is not worn or blurry like the picture

i wish listia had an option you could choose to never see auctions that charge shipping, i usually only search free shipping auction but every once in a while i stumble across one and bid on it not knowing they want shipping fees, leaving me with credits tied up and me trying to explain how i don't want the auction i won,
i would like to see them implement that option to never show auctions with shipping fees, and the same i wish i could block any auction with the words DIY or Email in it

Hopefully you will see this before the auction ends, but do you have any way of weighing the coin? From what I have read that is basically the only way to tell if the coin was minted in the 50% silver composition or if it was simply copper/nickel.

yes, I just weighed the dime and it comes in at 2.5 grams
now 2.07 is the bad one and 2.33 is the rare one, I'm guessing that my scales are off and it should read 2.33, good luck to everyone!
