Is it silver? The 2013 circulation, Proof-Like, and Specimen dimes are all Multi-Ply Plated Steel — they stick to a magnet and contain no precious metal. Only the Fine Silver Proof (.9999 silver, 2.45 g) is non-magnetic and carries melt value. Does it look shiny or mirror-like? A brilliant-field coin is almost certainly a Proof-Like from the Uncirculated Set, not a rare high-grade Business Strike — treat it accordingly. All values in CAD as of February 2026.

The 2013 Canadian 10-cent coin occupies a fascinating position in the modern era of Canadian numismatics. Struck in the same year the federal government ceased distributing the one-cent penny, the dime assumed greater importance as a foundational unit of physical commerce. More significantly for collectors, the Royal Canadian Mint deployed a remarkably diverse production programme for the 2013 dime — ranging from over 104 million utilitarian Multi-Ply Plated Steel circulation strikes to a mere 229 Fine Silver Proofs released exclusively at the RCNA convention in Winnipeg, making 2013 one of the most stratified years in modern Canadian dime collecting. For values across the entire Bluenose dime series, see our Canadian Dime Value Guide.
2013 Canadian Dime Composition & Identification by Metal
The 2013 10-cent coin exists in two metallurgically distinct formulations. Correctly identifying which metal you hold is the single most important step before assessing value.

Multi-Ply Plated Steel (MPPS) — Circulation, PL & Specimen
The Royal Canadian Mint's proprietary Multi-Ply Plated Steel (MPPS) process electroplates alternating layers of nickel and copper over a low-carbon steel core, yielding a coin that is approximately 92% steel, 5.5% copper, and 2.5% nickel. This process produces a coin that is strongly magnetic — the primary field diagnostic for all steel-based 2013 dimes, including circulation strikes, Proof-Like coins from the Uncirculated Set, and Specimen coins from both collector sets. The 1.75 g weight is significantly lighter than the pre-1968 silver dimes (2.33 g) and the pure nickel dimes used until 2000 (2.07 g). The copper plating layers can be susceptible to "milk spots" — white, cloudy residue from the manufacturing process that can develop over time in storage.
.9999 Fine Silver — Fine Silver Proof Only
The Fine Silver Proof dimes from the Arctic Expedition set are struck on .9999 pure silver planchets, weighing 2.45 g — 0.70 g heavier than the steel coin, a difference detectable with a standard digital pocket scale. Silver is diamagnetic and will not respond to a magnet. By 2013, the Royal Canadian Mint had shifted its proof set standard from .925 Sterling Silver to .9999 fine silver, aligning numismatic coins with its bullion standards. The raw value of a silver proof is driven partly by its silver melt content, with the document citing approximately $15.00–$20.00 CAD as a baseline melt-plus-premium value. Note that melting Canadian coins is prohibited under the Currency Act of Canada.

The silver coin's edge shows the characteristic warm white tone of pure silver. (Illustration — not a photo of your exact coin)
The slight increase in diameter of the silver proof (18.05 mm vs 18.03 mm for steel) results from the different flow characteristics of silver under proof-press pressure, though this 0.02 mm difference is not practically measurable without precise calipers.
2013 Canadian Dime Value Chart by Grade & Finish
The 2013 Canadian dime is one of the most stratified modern issues, with seven distinct documented variants spanning face value to hundreds of dollars. Use the jump links below to navigate directly to your coin type.
Four finish types of the 2013 Canadian dime side by side: Business Strike (cartwheel luster), Proof-Like (mirror fields with frosted devices), Specimen (lined/matte fields with sharp rims), and Fine Silver Proof (deep mirror fields with heavy frosting). (Illustration — not a photo of your exact coin)
2013 Canadian Dime — Business Strike (Circulation)
With a mintage of 104,775,000, the 2013 Business Strike is the most common variant but notably scarcer than adjacent years (2012: 334,675,000; 2014: 153,450,000). Circulated examples have no numismatic premium above face value. Value rises sharply at MS65 and above, driven by the difficulty of achieving premium luster on hard steel planchets. Values sourced from Coins and Canada — 10 Cents 2003–2023 Price Guide.
| Type | Circulated (G4–AU55) | MS60–MS64 | MS65 | MS66 | MS67 | MS68+ (Est.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2013 Circulation (Steel MPPS) | $0.10 (Face) | $0.25–$1.00 | $15.00 | $25.70 | $72.00 | $300–$500+ |
Mintage: 104,775,000. The primary detractors on steel coins are chatter (micro-abrasions on the Queen's cheek and sail high points) and plating blisters. Only fresh-die examples with sharp, blinding cartwheel luster can achieve MS67 or MS68. An MS68 example would be a registry-set trophy, with estimated auction realizations of $300–$500+ driven entirely by collector competition rather than book value.
💡 Roll-Hunting Context
The 2013 mintage (104.7 million) is roughly one-third of 2012 production (334.7 million), making pristine original Bank Wrapped Rolls statistically harder to find for this date. While circulated examples command no premium, source quality matters significantly for gem-grade roll-hunting.
2013 Canadian Dime — Proof-Like (Uncirculated Set)
Proof-Like dimes originate from the 2013 RCM Uncirculated Set (Catalog #121284). These steel MPPS coins feature mirror-like fields with frosted devices, distinguishable from high-grade Business Strikes by their brilliant background fields rather than cartwheel luster.
| Finish | Mintage | Raw (Ungraded) | PL65 | PL67 | Top Grade (PL68+) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Proof-Like (Uncirculated Set) | 60,863 | $1.00–$3.00 | $5.00 | $20.00 | $80.00+ |
ℹ️ PL Set Contamination
With 60,863 Uncirculated Sets produced for 2013, many have been broken open over the years. A "shiny" 2013 dime found loose is almost certainly a Proof-Like coin from this set, not a rare high-grade Business Strike. Dealers frequently discount raw "Uncirculated" coins of this era because they assume PL origin.
2013 Canadian Dime — Specimen (Teal Set & Bear Cubs Set)
Two distinct Specimen sets were produced for 2013, each containing a dime with the standard Bluenose reverse struck to Specimen finish (lined/matte fields, sharp squared rims). While the dimes themselves are visually identical once removed from packaging, their provenance confers different values due to significantly different set mintages.
The Blue-Winged Teal Specimen Set (Catalog #121282, RCM archive page) had an authorized mintage of 50,000 with realized sales of approximately 28,884 sets. The Black Bear Cubs Special Edition Specimen Set (Catalog #123462, RCM archive page) had an authorized mintage of 17,500 with realized sales of 14,394 sets — roughly half the Teal set's production.
| Set Origin | Realized Mintage | Raw (Ungraded) | SP65 | SP67 | Top Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Specimen — Blue-Winged Teal Set | ~28,884 | $2.00–$5.00 | $5.00 | $15.00–$25.00 | $60.00+ |
| Specimen — Black Bear Cubs Set | 14,394 | $5.00–$10.00 | $10.00 | $30.00 | $100.00+ |
Both Specimen dimes are identical once removed from their sets and cannot be distinguished by visual examination alone. A dime submitted to PCGS, NGC, or ICCS with set pedigree noted on the label commands a premium reflecting the Bear Cubs set's lower mintage. Complete Bear Cubs sets trade for approximately $50.00–$100.00. The individual dime, if provenance-attributed, carries a slight premium over the standard Specimen dime.
2013 Canadian Dime — Fine Silver Proof (Arctic Expedition)
The prestige numismatic dime for 2013 is struck on .9999 fine silver planchets as part of the Fine Silver Proof Set commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the Canadian Arctic Expedition (Catalog #121827). Limited to 25,000 sets worldwide, these coins feature cameo contrast — frosted devices against deep mirror fields — and are non-magnetic. See the NGC World Coin Price Guide for Canadian 10-Cent issues for additional certified coin context.
| Finish | Composition | Mintage | Raw / Melt+ | PF65 | PF67 | PF69 | PF70 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fine Silver Proof (Arctic Expedition) | .9999 Silver | 25,000 | $15.00–$20.00 | $20.00 | $30.00 | $30.00–$50.00 | $100.00+ |
Perfect PF70 examples are highly sought after, with recent auction data for modern PR70 Canadian dimes suggesting values in the $100.00+ range, subject to fluctuation with spot silver prices and collector demand.
2013 Canadian Dime — Convention Specials (ANA & RCNA)
The apex of 2013 dime collecting lies in two ultra-low mintage sets produced for specific numismatic conventions. These variants are typically traded as complete sealed sets; individual coins graded and pedigreed by PCGS, NGC, or ICCS command the highest premiums.
| Set | Mintage (Sets) | Composition | Finish | Est. Set Value | Est. Top-Grade Individual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ANA Chicago Special Edition (Aug. 2013) | 500 | Steel MPPS | Proof-Like (Brilliant Unc.) | $150.00–$300.00+ | $200.00–$400.00+ (MS69/MS70 Pop-1) |
| RCNA Winnipeg Token Set (July 2013) | 667 | Steel MPPS | Uncirculated | — | — |
| RCNA Winnipeg Fine Silver Proof (July 2013) | 229 | .9999 Silver | Proof (PR/PF) | $400.00–$600.00+ | $500.00+ (PF70, "Name Your Price") |
Values are estimates based on the document's market analysis; realized auction prices for these ultra-scarce sets are sparse given their rarity. A perfect-grade RCNA Fine Silver Proof dime (229 minted total) would set a price record for the date. Convention set provenance is documented in Canadian Coin News coverage of the 2013 ANA sets and the RCM 2013 Annual Report.
⚠️ Never Clean Your Coins
Cleaning strips original luster and leaves hairlines visible under magnification. A cleaned coin is graded "Details" (damaged) and loses all numismatic premium regardless of its underlying quality. This applies equally to steel MPPS coins and silver proofs.
All values in CAD represent typical market prices as of February 2026. For the complete denomination price guide, see our Canadian Dime Value Guide.

Most Valuable 2013 Canadian Dime Variants
The 2013 dime's rarity hierarchy is driven entirely by mintage scarcity and set provenance, not by die varieties or errors. Below are the variants ranked by documented value.
2013 RCM convention special sets: the ANA Chicago set (left, sealed RCM packaging with Proof-Like steel coins, 500 minted) and the RCNA Winnipeg Fine Silver Proof set (right, 229 minted — the rarest 2013 dime variant). Once removed from sealed packaging, individual dimes from these sets are visually indistinguishable from standard issues without a grading service pedigree label.
Trophy-Level Variants
1. RCNA Winnipeg Fine Silver Proof (229 Sets) — The Rarest 2013 Dime
Released exclusively at the Royal Canadian Numismatic Association convention in Winnipeg in July 2013, this .9999 fine silver proof dime is the statistically rarest 2013 dime variant, with only 229 sets ever produced. This mintage rivals the legendary rarities of the 19th century, and a perfect PF70 example would be a true trophy asset — the document describes its potential price as "Name Your Price" for a specialist buyer. Complete sets are estimated at $400.00–$600.00+; an individually graded PF70 at $500.00+. Provenance is documented in the RCM 2013 Annual Report.
2. ANA Chicago Special Edition (500 Sets)
Distributed exclusively at the American Numismatic Association's World's Fair of Money in Chicago in August 2013, this set contains a steel MPPS dime with Proof-Like finish. Only 500 sets were produced. Once removed from its original sealed RCM packaging or a pedigree-labelled slab, the ANA dime is physically indistinguishable from a standard Uncirculated Set dime (mintage 60,863). A Registry Set collector pursuing a MS69 or MS70 example with verified pedigree could push a single coin to $200.00–$400.00+ at auction. The ANA set is documented in Canadian Coin News.
Findable / Investment-Grade Variants
3. RCNA Token Set (667 Sets) — Steel Uncirculated
The companion uncirculated steel coin set released at the same RCNA Winnipeg convention, with a mintage of 667 sets. Less prestigious than the silver proof edition but still among the lowest-mintage 2013 dime variants.
4. Black Bear Cubs Specimen (14,394 Sets)
The lower-mintage of the two standard Specimen sets — roughly half the production of the Teal set. At $30.00 at SP67 (versus $15.00–$25.00 for the Teal set), this is a tangible premium for provenance-conscious collectors. Complete sets trade for approximately $50.00–$100.00.
5. Fine Silver Proof — Arctic Expedition (25,000 Sets)
The most accessible precious-metal variant, this .9999 silver proof is the entry point for collectors who want a non-magnetic, silver-content 2013 dime. At $15.00–$20.00 for a raw example and $100.00+ at PF70, it represents strong upside relative to face value for a coin available directly from RCM archives. See the RCM product page for the Arctic Expedition set.
⚠️ The Pedigree Trap
You cannot distinguish an ANA Chicago dime (500 minted) from a standard Uncirculated Set dime (60,863 minted) by physical examination alone once removed from original packaging. Never pay a convention-set premium for a loose, unslabbed coin — demand either the original sealed RCM packaging or a PCGS/NGC/ICCS certification label that explicitly states the set pedigree.
2013 Canadian Dime Identification Guide
Use this 30-second checklist to determine exactly which 2013 dime variant you hold before consulting the value tables above.
2013 Canadian 10-cent coin: obverse (left) showing Susanna Blunt's fourth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II (bare head, pearl necklace) with the RCM logo (stylized maple leaf in a circle) below the bust truncation; reverse (right) showing Emanuel Hahn's Bluenose schooner under full sail, heeling to port.
30-Second Identification Checklist
- Monarch Check: The obverse should show Queen Elizabeth II in Susanna Blunt's fourth portrait — bare-headed, wearing a simple string of pearls and pearl earrings, with no crown or diadem. The RCM logo (a stylized maple leaf within a circle) appears below the Queen's bust truncation. The legend reads ELIZABETH II D GRATIA REGINA with CANADA and the date 2013.
- Reverse Check: The reverse should show the Bluenose schooner under full sail, heeling to port, designed by Emanuel Otto Hahn (in continuous use since 1937). The legend reads 10 CENTS / CANADA.
- Step 1 — Magnet Test (Composition Verification): Apply a strong magnet to the coin.
- Strongly magnetic → Steel MPPS coin: Circulation, Proof-Like, or Specimen. Proceed to Step 2.
- Non-magnetic → .9999 Fine Silver Proof. Value starts at approximately $15.00–$20.00 (melt-plus-premium). Proceed to Step 3.
- Step 2 — Finish Test (for Magnetic / Steel Coins): Examine the background field under a light source.
- Standard cartwheel luster (rotating spoke of light when tilted): Business Strike — from circulation rolls or bank bags.
- Mirror-like / brilliant fields with frosted devices: Proof-Like (PL) — almost certainly from the 2013 Uncirculated Set (60,863 produced).
- Lined / matte / satin fields with sharply squared rim: Specimen (SP) — from either the Teal Set (~28,884 produced) or the Bear Cubs Set (14,394 produced).
- Step 3 — Weight Test (confirmatory): A standard digital pocket scale will distinguish steel (1.75 g) from silver (2.45 g) if the magnet test result is ambiguous or the coin is in a holder.
- Step 4 — Provenance Check (for Convention Specials): If the coin is in original sealed RCM packaging bearing ANA Chicago or RCNA Winnipeg labelling, it is one of 500 or 229/667 minted respectively. Without original packaging or a pedigree-labelled certification slab, a loose dime cannot be attributed to a convention set regardless of grade.
- No Documented Mint Marks: The 2013 10-cent circulation, PL, and Specimen coins carry no traditional mint mark. The RCM logo below the bust truncation is a security feature standard since the mid-2000s — it is not a mint mark indicating facility of origin for collecting purposes.
The magnet test in action: a steel MPPS 2013 dime (left) adheres firmly to a neodymium magnet, while a .9999 fine silver proof 2013 dime (right) shows zero magnetic attraction — the fastest field test for identifying a valuable silver coin in a bulk lot.
Finish Identification Summary
| Finish | Field Appearance | Rim Character | Origin | Magnetic? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Business Strike | Cartwheel luster (rotating spoke) | Standard | Circulation rolls / bags | Yes |
| Proof-Like (PL) | Mirror / brilliant fields | Standard | 2013 Uncirculated Set (#121284) | Yes |
| Specimen (SP) | Lined / matte / satin fields | Sharp, squared | Teal Set (#121282) or Bear Cubs Set (#123462) | Yes |
| Fine Silver Proof (PF) | Deep mirror fields, heavy frosting | Sharp, squared | Arctic Expedition Proof Set (#121827) | No |
Close-up of the Specimen finish on a 2013 Canadian dime: the lined/satin background field (evident on the open ocean area around the Bluenose) contrasts sharply with the frosted raised devices of the schooner's sails. The sharply squared rim is characteristic of Specimen striking. (Illustration — not a photo of your exact coin)
⚠️ Storage: Steel vs Silver
Steel MPPS coins: Store in low-humidity environments in Air-Tite capsules or Mylar (2×2) flips. Avoid PVC flips, which release acids that attack the copper plating layers and can cause green residue. Watch for "milk spots" — white, cloudy residue from the manufacturing process that can develop over time.
Silver Proofs: Pure .9999 silver will tone if exposed to sulfur in the air or paper products. Air-Tite capsules are the recommended long-term storage for the Arctic Expedition silver proofs.
2013 Canadian Dime Value FAQs
What is a 2013 Canadian dime worth?
It depends entirely on the variant and grade. A circulated 2013 dime from pocket change is worth face value — $0.10 — as it contains no silver. A Gem Mint State (MS65) Business Strike is worth approximately $15.00. A Fine Silver Proof from the Arctic Expedition set starts at $15.00–$20.00 (melt-plus-premium) and reaches $100.00+ in perfect PF70 condition. Ultra-rare convention specials (ANA: 500 sets; RCNA Silver Proof: 229 sets) can command $400.00–$600.00+ as complete sealed sets.
Is a 2013 Canadian dime rare?
The circulation strike (104,775,000 minted) is not rare in circulated grades. However, the 2013 mintage is approximately one-third of 2012 production (334,675,000), giving it a "semi-key" status for roll hunters seeking high-grade examples. At the other extreme, the RCNA Winnipeg Fine Silver Proof (229 sets) and the ANA Chicago Special Edition (500 sets) are genuinely rare by any standard — modern or classic. The two Specimen sets (~28,884 and 14,394 produced) are scarce relative to circulation but readily available in the collector market.
Is my 2013 Canadian dime silver?
Almost certainly not, unless you know it came from the Arctic Expedition Fine Silver Proof Set. The circulation, Proof-Like, and Specimen coins are all Multi-Ply Plated Steel (MPPS) with no precious metal content. The definitive test: apply a magnet. Steel coins stick strongly; the .9999 silver proof will not respond at all. You can also weigh the coin — 1.75 g = steel; 2.45 g = silver. If yours is silver, it is worth a minimum of approximately $15.00–$20.00 for the melt-plus-premium value.
What is the difference between Proof-Like (PL) and Specimen (SP)?
Both are collector finishes distinct from a Business Strike, but they are made differently. A Proof-Like (PL) coin has mirror-like (brilliant) background fields with frosted or semi-frosted devices; it comes from the 2013 Uncirculated Set. A Specimen (SP) coin has lined or satin/matte background fields with sharply defined, frosted devices and characteristically squared rims; it comes from the Teal or Bear Cubs Specimen sets. Under a direct light source, PL fields show a deep reflection while SP fields appear textured or directional. Both finishes produce steel MPPS coins for 2013 and are strongly magnetic.
What makes the 2013 Canadian dime particularly valuable?
Three factors drive premium value. First, grade: because hard steel planchets are difficult to strike perfectly, MS67 and MS68 examples are statistically rare and command strong premiums among Registry Set collectors. Second, finish: Specimen coins (especially Bear Cubs set) and Silver Proofs carry inherent scarcity premiums. Third, provenance: the ANA Chicago (500 sets) and RCNA Winnipeg Silver Proof (229 sets) convention specials are modern rarities whose value is almost entirely driven by mintage scarcity, not the coin's physical characteristics.
Should I get my 2013 Canadian dime graded?
For Business Strikes, grading economics favour submission only for coins that appear to grade MS66 or higher — a PCGS or NGC submission fee may not be recouped on an MS65 example worth $15.00, but an MS67 at $72.00 or an MS68+ at $300.00+ justifies the cost. For Silver Proofs, grading at PF69 or PF70 can more than double the raw value. If you have a sealed ANA or RCNA convention set, grading the dime with explicit pedigree attribution (PCGS, NGC, or ICCS) is strongly recommended before selling, as a raw coin loses its provenance value entirely. ICCS is Canada's own grading standard; PCGS and NGC are US-based but widely accepted by Canadian Registry Set collectors.
What are the ANA and RCNA convention specials, and how do I know if I have one?
These are exclusive sets produced in micro-mintages for the 2013 American Numismatic Association's World's Fair of Money in Chicago (500 sets, August 2013) and the Royal Canadian Numismatic Association convention in Winnipeg (667 uncirculated sets and 229 fine silver proof sets, July 2013). The dimes inside are physically indistinguishable from standard Uncirculated Set (PL) or Fine Silver Proof coins once removed from packaging. You can only confirm provenance through: (1) the original sealed RCM packaging with the specific convention labelling, or (2) a certified slab from PCGS, NGC, or ICCS with the pedigree explicitly noted on the label. Never pay a convention premium for a loose, unattributed coin.
What are "milk spots" and how do they affect value?
Milk spots are white, cloudy residue patches that can develop on Multi-Ply Plated Steel coins over time as a result of contaminants from the manufacturing process reacting with the plating layers. On a gem-grade coin, milk spots are a significant detractor that will lower or eliminate a top-grade designation. They are distinct from normal toning and cannot be safely removed at home. Coins with milk spots revert toward face or melt value. For the 2013 dimes, silver proofs should be stored in Air-Tite capsules and steel coins kept in low-humidity environments to minimise the risk.
What are "Registry Sets" and why do they push 2013 dime prices higher?
PCGS and NGC host online competitive leaderboards called "Registry Sets" where collectors compete to assemble the finest possible certified sets of Canadian dimes. Because the ANA Chicago and RCNA Winnipeg sets are tracked as distinct slots in these registries, collectors will pay substantial premiums for top-grade examples to achieve or maintain a top ranking. This "Registry Set demand" is the primary driver behind the estimated $200.00–$400.00+ price for a MS69/MS70 ANA dime — a coin that is physically similar to a $80.00 PL coin, valued almost entirely on its documented scarcity.
