1967 was Canada's Centennial, so the Mint absolutely didn't want to abandon silver, at least not before the end of the year, so that's why they switched from 80% to 50% (instead of ending silver completely) in the summer of 1967 (for 10 and 25 cents), while completely stopping silver 50 cents and dollars. It's hard to distinguish between a 1967 80% and 50%, except if you do a comparative ping test with a known example. In 1968, prices of silver continued to rise, and again, during the summer they gradually switched to 100% nickel. Your 1968 dime really looks silver, but your should do the magnet test to confirm. If it sticks, it is nickel. In my last hunt, I also found 2 x 1968 silver dimes, but plenty of 1968 nickel too... I also found a 1964 USA dime, so dimes are really fun to hunt for me as well... In summer of 1968, the Mint also resumed production of 50 cents and dollars, in nickel, with a smaller diameter... Those 2 years are fascinating for Canadian coins history. In USA, the fascinating fact are the Kennedy half dollars, that were switched to 40% clad silver in 1965 in his memory instead of plain clad like dimes and quarters. There are very rare 1971 D 40% silver half dollar examples, that survived the end of silver in 1971, and I'd love to somehow get one, for my birth year, since I'm born at the beginning of the year...
In 1967, Canada dropped the amount of silver from 80% to 50% in dimes & quarters, then halfway through 1968 they went from 50% silver to 99.9% Nickel. Easiest way to determine if 1968 dimes & quarters are silver, is put them to a magnet. If they stick, they are not silver.

Wrong. Easiest way is to weigh that with your scale. Acquainted is 50% silver 50% glad your bag is just stick to the clad part but not stick to the silver part. The smarter way to find out if you have a 50 percent silver or not is to weigh it. Find how many grams it should weigh and then weigh it with your scale. Good Lord!!

Not all 1968 Canadian dimes are silver. If it doesn't stick to a magnet then it is silver. That one does look good though
2024 = 400 silver dimes! Right on! Keep on diggin Dave! 👍💯
Nice to see you hunting dimes again!
I did hunt a $250.00 box of dimes but they were to small, hard to read and very time-consuming! I'm going back to Half Dollar hunting!
More silver. Not a bad hunt at all.
400 wow!!!
Wider reedes on that canadian silver
Congrats on finding some silver! Is it fair to say dime boxes have been the best for you this year?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Congrats on 400 Dimes. How many total boxes did you go through? Curious on your box average.
I find more pennies searching dimes than silver ones
