1919 – 10 Cents Dime Canada

The 1919 Canadian 10 cents coin, also known as a dime, is composed of 92.5% sterling silver and 7.5% copper, weighs 2.32 grams, and has a diameter of 18.03 mm with a reeded edge. Its obverse features the bust of King George V, designed by Sir Edgar Bertram Mackennal, while the reverse displays a crown atop 22 maple leaves on two boughs tied with a ribbon, designed by William Henry James Blakemore. The coin was minted by the Royal Canadian Mint with a circulation mintage of approximately 7.9 million units. It is non-magnetic and has medal alignment orientation. The coin is valued based on condition, with circulated coins generally valued from around $3 to $35 CAD depending on wear, and mint state coins valued significantly higher.
