Canadian Silver Dimes – Queen Elizabeth II / Bluenose Sailboat (80% Silver, Random Dates)

Stack real Canadian silver with these classic 10-cent pieces featuring Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and the famous Bluenose schooner on the reverse. Struck from 80% silver between 1953 and 1966, each coin contains nearly one-tenth of a troy ounce of pure silver, making them an affordable and convenient way to grow your silver holdings.

Why Silver Buyers Love These:

• Genuine Canadian government-issued coins — not replicas or rounds.

• Each coin is composed of 80% silver / 20% copper, giving about 0.06 troy oz ASW (Actual Silver Weight) per dime.

• At a silver spot price of $52 USD/oz, that’s roughly $3 in melt value per coin — real silver you can hold.

• Small, divisible, and ideal for stacking fractional silver or filling silver “junk coin” bags.

• Historical design: the Bluenose schooner is one of Canada’s most recognizable symbols of pride and craftsmanship.

These small but mighty Canadian silver dimes are a smart way to accumulate real silver weight — fractional, historic, and always liquid in the bullion market.
