Why Are 1967 Quarters Special?
The 1967 Canadian quarter is one of the most iconic coins in Canadian history. Minted to celebrate Canada's centennial, these quarters feature a unique design with a bobcat (Canadian lynx) on the reverse, replacing the traditional caribou. The dates "1867-1967" commemorate 100 years of Confederation.
Silver Content & Melt Value
1967 quarters contain 80% silver and 20% copper, with a total weight of 5.83 grams. This gives each coin approximately 0.15 troy ounces of pure silver.
At current silver prices, the melt value alone makes these coins worth more than face value. However, their numismatic (collector) value often exceeds the silver content value, especially for coins in better condition.
Factors Affecting Value
Condition
The condition of your quarter is the most important factor. Uncirculated coins with sharp details and original luster command premium prices. Heavily worn coins are typically worth closer to silver melt value.
Mint Marks
Most 1967 quarters have no mint mark and were produced at the Royal Canadian Mint in Ottawa. There are no significant varieties based on mint location for this year.
Silver Price
Since these coins contain silver, their base value fluctuates with the silver market. When silver prices rise, so does the minimum value of your 1967 quarter.

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.
