Silver Dollars of Canada

North America is rich in natural resources. Hence, Silver mining in Canada proves to be a valuable source of revenue to the country. Silver produced through silver mining in Canada is mostly exported.

Silversmithing is a craft that is handed from one generation to the next through mentoring, making it a true artisan tradition. Canadian silversmiths make use of Canadian silver to produce exquisite jewelry.

Although most countries are using currency and no longer back their money with precious metals, silver mining in Canada still plays an important role in the making of silver coins. These Silver coins remain valuable for investing purposes and guards against inflation.

Recognizing silver’s ongoing importance, The Royal Canadian Mint, continues to mint silver into a number of different denominations. Values for such coins vary depending upon the following,

• Weight of the Silver Coin
• Condition of the Silver Coin
• Age of the Silver Coin
• Amount of Silver composition in that Coin

If there was a limited minting of a specific coin or if it wasn’t circulated extensively, the value goes up.
