Coin folks,
What's the silver content (if any at all) of a 1966 dime from Canada? Found it in a roll of dimes from the bank.
Thanks,
T-man

I wanna say 40-50% but am having a brain cramp right now. Someone will be along to tell you for sure.

Mike,
Thanks for the info. I was pretty sure it had some silver in it b/c it sounded like silver when dropped.
Peace,
T-man
