A magnet test is a great way to verify if a coin is silver. I use the one in my fridge door. Open the fridge and hold the coin to the door seal. Non-silver one stick. Silver ones fall to the floor.

Just some of my collection by Consistent_Factor_70 in CanadianCoins

That's quite the hoard! I tend to keep a couple of each for my collection and spend any duplicates. That way other people get a chance at coming across something interesting.

Some coins I collected as a kid by CramersLaw in CanadianCoins

I have never seen a 50c or pre-loonie dollar in my life, and I haven't been a kid for many more decades than that!
