  1. Can anyone tell me if they have tried weighing Canadian 1967 quarte's.
    As the mint changed from 80% to 50% silver midway through the year of 1967. I am having a hard time figuring this out
    I have read many times that there is no way to tell the 80% from the 50%, but the Canadian mist says there is a weight difference.

    Now I have heard of the water test but that is just not practical, plus I am just not that good at math LOL
    Any help would be very much appreciated

  2. Hi Everyone

    I know these are not U.S. coins, but i just wanted to share them with all of you (My Friends)

    I won them yesterday for just under $10.00, they are Canadian and were made for

    The Canadian 1999 MILLENNIUM. A 12 Coin Pack of 25 Cent coins, one for each month.

     

    I hope you all enjoy them, I will take a better picture when they arrive in the mail.

    All the best
