Canadian Coin question...

I see that 1967 Dimes and quarters are 80% & 50% Silver
Are the Halves and Dollars? in my Krause it doesn't list them as such.

    No they were only 80% Silver according to my Charlton.

    That is correct. All 1967 50c and Dollar coins minted in Canada are 80% silver. Many people, including dealers, are either misinformed about this, or just choose to ignore the fact.
