Silver Content
With 0.0600 troy ounces of silver, the coin's base value fluctuates with silver prices. When silver prices rise, so does the minimum value of your 1967 dime.
Collector Demand
As a Centennial commemorative, these coins have nostalgic appeal. High-grade examples are sought by collectors completing Centennial sets.
How to Identify a 1967 Dime
- Check the Date: Look for "1867-1967" on the reverse (back) of the coin
- Look for the Mackerel: The reverse shows a mackerel fish, not the regular Bluenose schooner
- Feel the Edge: Silver dimes have a reeded (grooved) edge
- Check the Weight: Silver dimes are slightly heavier than modern nickel dimes
Important: All 1967 Canadian dimes contain silver.
Unlike 1968 dimes (which came in both silver and nickel versions), every 1967 dime was made with 80% silver. This makes identification simple - if it's dated 1967, it's silver!
Historical Significance
The 1967 Centennial coins are among the most recognizable Canadian coins. The entire circulation set featured special commemorative designs by artist Alex Colville, celebrating 100 years since Confederation.
These coins were widely circulated and saved by Canadians as keepsakes, making them common today but still valuable for their silver content and historical significance.

How Coin Values Are Determined
Four key factors influence what a coin is worth. Understanding these helps you know what to look for.
Rarity
Coins with low mintage numbers or surviving in small quantities are worth more. A coin minted in the millions is common; one minted in the thousands can be scarce.
Condition
Collectors grade coins from Poor (heavily worn) to Mint State (uncirculated). A coin in excellent condition can be worth many times more than the same coin in worn condition.
Silver or Gold Content
Many older Canadian coins contain 80% silver. Even a common silver coin has a base value tied to the current silver price, regardless of collector demand.
Collector Demand
Some coins are actively sought by collectors, which drives prices higher. Key dates, varieties, and coins from popular series attract more buyers.
