Hey all, the advent of the dashboard and metal tallies makes entries of this type obsolete. I was logging my Canadian coins and I discovered that this coin combined the .800 fine issue and the .500 fine issue. I think the need for a separate listing to accommodate differences in fineness is warranted. Krause catalogs a KM#68 that is .800 fine silver, and a KM#68a that is .500 fine silver. I hope my friends in charge of Canadian listings can fix this please.

There isn't a seperate listing in my catalog either because I believe it's not really possible to differentiate between them. However if you can in fact tell the difference I agree two entries would be good

25 cent 1966 (0.800 silver) KM# 62, 25 cent 1967 (0.800 or 0.500) KM# 68 and 25 cent 1968 (0.500 silver) KM# 62a all weigh the same: 5,83 g.
But according to the coinpages, the thickness of the 1966 is 1,52 mm while the thickness of the 1968 is 1,8 mm. If these figures are correct I guess it must be possible to determine whether the 1967 is 0.800 silver or 0.500 silver by its thickness.

By the way, it's the same story for the Canada 10 cents 1967 KM# 72.
