Collector Research Notes

The reverse depicts the Newfoundland pitcher plant (Sarracenia purpurea), the provincial floral emblem, a design used on Newfoundland 10-cent coins since 1938.

What Collectors Usually Check

  • The estimated collector range sits meaningfully above melt value, which usually means design, scarcity, or set demand is doing more work than metal content alone.
  • Older Canadian silver issues often need to be judged on both collector merit and metal value, especially when grades or varieties are involved.
  • Use the listed edge, diameter, finish, and legends to verify the exact issue before comparing prices or catalog entries.
