What A Pretty Litlle Fishy

Afternoon you lovely lot

Today I bring you a 10 cents Canadian coin from 1967. This is part of a set celebrating the 100th Anniversary of Canada.

On the front of the coin is a little fishy that I believe is a Mackerel.

Reverse of the coin: Queen Elizabeth II at 37 years of age wearing a tiara
Year: 1967
Value: 10 Cents
Currency: Dollar
Silver: 0.800
Weight: 2.33 grams
Diameter: 18.034mm
Thickness: 1.21mm

This is another coin that has given me some issues. According to Numista there is a 50% silver and a 80% silver version.
But the Canadian Royal Mint do not list a 50% silver 10 cent coin in their commemorative set.

I tried using my coin slide but results were not conclusive enough for me to say exactly which silver content it is.
No access to a Sigma machine either so for now I am going with the 80% silver content as that seems to be the only one mentioned online.

Once I get better with my testing methods I will have a much easier time when it comes to coins like this.
Until then I will continue practicing testing coins until I can say with certainty that I am happy with my results.
If I get lucky and come into a vast amount of money I'll just buy a Sigma machine to make my life easier. Until then I am stuck practicing.

Minted by the Royal Canadian Mint of Ottawa which is still producing quality coins to this date.
