Good morning folks, thanks for joining me today
Today's coin is a 25 Cents Canadian coin from 1967.
The front of the coin has a Canadian Lynx, surrounded by the face value and inscription.
Reverse of the coin: Queen Elizabeth II at 37 years of age wearing a tiara
Year: 1967
Value: 25 Cents
Currency: Dollar
Silver: .500
Weight: 5.05 grams
Diameter: 23.88mm
Thickness: 1.76m
So this coin was a bit of a bugger for me. They either come in 80% silver with 20% copper OR they come in 50% silver and 50% copper.
I don't own a Sigma machine, but I do own a coin slide and a pinger. Still not used to the pinger, so I went all out with the slide.
I came to the decision that it's 50% silver due to the speed was a bit quicker than one of my 80% silver coins. Though the size difference of them both was huge so it is currently up in the air if it is 50% silver or not.
I couldn't even check the diameter as they are both the same annoyingly. This would have reinforced my decision on silver content.
Either way I am really happy with this coin as I might have a more valuable one than I originally thought. Time will tell with this once I get better at testing.
I picked this coin up as part of a set of 5 other Canadian coins commemorating the 100th anniversary of Canada.
Minted by the Royal Canadian Mint of Ottawa, which is still producing quality coins to this date.
