What a coin with this design is made of
Every 10-cent coin carrying this design falls outside the years the Mint records a silver-bearing composition for. There is no silver in any of them, so there is no melt value to work out. What one of these is worth depends on condition and on the date, and this site does not publish figures for either.
Across the years the Mint reports for this design, 272,465,000 10-cent coins were struck.
Denomination
Sterling silver to 1919, 80% silver to 1967, pure nickel from 1968 and plated steel from 2000. The smallest Canadian coin and the one most often found in a jar.
What these sell for
Completed sales, newest first, so you are looking at what buyers paid rather than what sellers are asking. Affiliate link: we may earn a commission if you buy, at no cost to you, and it changes nothing on this page.
