2017 Canadian 10-Cent (Dime) Value Guide
What is your 2017 Canadian dime worth? Complete price guide for both the Bluenose and Canada 150 Wings of Peace designs, all finishes (Business Strike, Specimen, Silver Proof), and trophy-level NCLT variants. All values in CAD, updated February 2026.
Most 2017 Canadian dimes found in everyday change are worth face value ($0.10). The commemorative Wings of Peace Canada 150 design is worth setting aside in uncirculated condition. Silver Proof collector issues contain 99.99% fine silver and trade for $11.00–$21.00+ depending on design.
- Circulated Bluenose (VF–AU):$0.10 (face value)
- Circulated Wings of Peace (VF–AU):$0.10 — keep if shiny
- Uncirculated Bluenose (MS60–63):$0.25–$0.50
- Uncirculated Wings of Peace (MS60–63):$0.50–$1.00
- Gem Bluenose (MS65–66):$10.00–$30.00
- Gem Wings of Peace (MS65–66):$5.00–$18.00
- Specimen (SP) — Bluenose only:$3.00–$15.00
- Silver Proof — Bluenose:$11.00–$20.00
- Silver Proof — Wings of Peace:$13.00–$21.00
Is it shiny with a mirror-like background? That is a Silver Proof coin from a collector set, not a high-grade business strike — verify with a magnet. Is it silver? Apply a magnet: 2017 circulation and Specimen dimes are strongly magnetic (plated steel). A non-magnetic 2017 dime is a 99.99% pure silver Proof, which also weighs 2.45 g versus 1.75 g for the steel version. Found in change? If it shows the dove design (Wings of Peace), set it aside — it represents only about 9% of total 2017 dime production. See full value chart →

The 2017 Canadian 10-cent coin carries special significance as the primary circulating vehicle for Canada 150 — the sesquicentennial of Confederation (1867–2017). Unlike most years, the Royal Canadian Mint issued two distinct reverse designs for general circulation: the classic Emanuel Hahn Bluenose schooner (used continuously since 1937) and a one-year-only Wings of Peace dove design by Amy Choi, created for the "My Canada, My Inspiration" program. Both were struck in multi-ply plated steel at the Winnipeg Mint. Collector-exclusive Specimen and Silver Proof versions were also produced. For a complete history of all Canadian dimes across every era, see our Canadian Dime Value Guide.

Note: Errors such as off-center strikes and wrong-planchet coins exist for 2017 Canadian dimes but are outside the scope of this standard value guide.
2017 Canadian Dime Composition & Melt Value
A) Circulation & Specimen Issues — Multi-Ply Plated Steel (MPPS)
The 2017 circulation dime uses the Royal Canadian Mint's proprietary Multi-Ply Plated Steel (MPPS) technology, introduced in 2000 to reduce production costs and improve durability. The steel core accounts for approximately 92% of total mass, clad with alternating layers of copper (approx. 5.5%) and nickel (approx. 2.5%).
- Total Weight: 1.75 grams
- Intrinsic Melt Value: Negligible. The combined value of the steel, copper, and nickel in a single coin amounts to a fraction of one cent. There is no investment rationale for hoarding steel dimes based on metal content — numismatic value far exceeds intrinsic metal value at every grade.
- Magnetic Signature: Strongly magnetic. The steel core makes the coin attract firmly to any magnet. This is the single fastest non-destructive test to separate a circulation or Specimen strike from a Silver Proof. If a 2017 dime sticks to a magnet, it is a steel coin — regardless of how shiny or mirror-like it appears.
B) Collector Proof Issues — 99.99% Pure Silver
Silver Proof dimes produced for the 2017 annual Silver Proof Set and special Canada 150 Proof Sets differ from circulation strikes in every measurable way.
- Composition: 99.99% Pure Silver (.9999 fine)
- Total Weight: 2.45 grams — exactly 40% heavier than the steel circulation coin. This weight difference is the definitive non-destructive test for composition.
- Melt Value: To calculate baseline intrinsic value, use the formula: Weight (g) ÷ 31.1035 g/troy oz × Spot Price (CAD/oz). With silver near approximately $113 CAD/oz (February 2026 reference context), the melt value is meaningful, though these coins typically trade at numismatic premiums above their silver content. For current calculations, check a live reference such as SilverPrice.org (CAD), as spot prices fluctuate.
- Magnetic Signature: Non-magnetic. Silver is diamagnetic and shows no reaction to a magnet. A 2017 dime that does not stick to a magnet is a Silver Proof (or, extremely rarely, a wrong-planchet error — which is out of scope for this guide).
Side-by-side weight comparison: the 2017 plated steel circulation dime (1.75 g, left) versus the 2017 Silver Proof dime (2.45 g, right). The 40% weight difference is the definitive non-destructive test to confirm composition when the magnet result is ambiguous.
⚠️ Never Clean Your Coins
Cleaning strips original luster and leaves hairlines visible under magnification. A cleaned 2017 dime — whether a Gem circulation strike or a Silver Proof — will receive a "Details" (damaged) designation from ICCS, PCGS, or NGC, permanently eliminating all numismatic premium regardless of its underlying quality and detail.
2017 Canadian Dime Value Chart by Grade & Finish
The 2017 dime market divides first by design (Wings of Peace vs. Bluenose), then by finish (Business Strike, Specimen, or Proof). Circulated examples of both designs are worth face value. Meaningful value premiums begin at MS65 for business strikes and at corresponding collector-grade thresholds for Specimen and Proof issues. All values in CAD as of February 2026, based on aggregated Charlton, Coins and Canada pricing data, and recent auction results.
Grade comparison for a 2017 Canadian Bluenose dime: left — circulated (VF, worn devices and flat fields); centre — Brilliant Uncirculated (MS63, bright luster with visible bag marks); right — Gem Uncirculated (MS65, sharp cartwheel luster, near-flawless surfaces). Value rises sharply at MS65 and again at MS67+. (Illustration — not a photo of your exact coin)
2017 Wings of Peace — Business Strike (Circulation)
The "Wings of Peace" dove/maple-leaf design by Amy Choi was struck exclusively for Canada 150. With a mintage of approximately 20,000,000 — roughly 9% of total 2017 dime production — it is meaningfully scarcer than the Bluenose in circulation, though still plentiful enough to trade at face value when worn. The large open fields surrounding the dove silhouette make contact marks highly visible under magnification, which typically pushes raw "Uncirculated" examples toward the lower end of the grade range.
| Finish / Product | Circulated (VF–AU) | BU (MS60–63) | Gem BU (MS65–66) | Mintage | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Business Strike (Plated Steel) | $0.10 | $0.50–$1.00 | $5.00–$18.00 | 20,000,000 | MS67+: $30.00–$50.00 (trophy grade; PCGS/NGC certification required — see Variants). |
| Special Wrap Roll (50 coins) | N/A | $16.95–$29.95 per roll | N/A | 10,000 Rolls | "Canada 150" thematic paper wrapper. Part of the premium reflects the collectible packaging. Do not break the roll. |
The 2017 "Wings of Peace" Special Wrap Roll — 50 coins in thematic Canada 150 paper packaging with the dove design visible at the roll ends. Limited to 10,000 rolls. Value derives from both the coins and the collectible packaging; breaking the roll significantly reduces the premium.
2017 Wings of Peace — Collector & Proof Issues
The Wings of Peace design was also struck in two Proof formats for collector sets. A Base Metal Proof (plated steel, magnetic) exists from non-silver gift sets such as the "Oh Canada" set. A Pure Silver Proof (non-magnetic, 2.45 g) exists from silver and Canada 150 Proof Sets. Always use the magnet test before attributing — both look similar at a glance.
| Finish | Collector / Proof Grade Value | Mintage | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Proof — Base Metal (Plated Steel) | $5.00–$10.00 | ~25,000 | Magnetic. Mirror fields, frosted devices. From non-silver gift sets. Verify by magnet. |
| Proof — Pure Silver (.9999) | $13.00–$21.00 | ~20,000* | Non-magnetic. 2.45 g. From silver or Canada 150 Proof Sets. *Mintage approximate. |
ℹ️ The "Value Cliff" for Modern Canadian Dimes
For post-2000 plated steel dimes, value is essentially flat from circulated grades through MS64. The meaningful price jump occurs at MS66 and especially MS67, where coins must be nearly free of bag marks from production. PCGS and NGC graded examples at MS67–MS68 attract Registry Set collectors and can command significant premiums. Grading fees typically run $30–$50+ per coin — ensure the coin is a strong candidate for MS66+ before submitting, as grading a coin that lands at MS64 will not recover its cost.
2017 Bluenose — Business Strike (Circulation)
The standard Bluenose dime is the highest-mintage Canadian coin of 2017 at approximately 199,925,000 struck. Circulated examples are abundant and worth face value. However, because plated steel surfaces scratch easily during minting and bag handling, coins that survive without significant contact marks are genuinely scarce at the top of the Mint State scale.
| Finish / Product | Circulated (VF–AU) | BU (MS60–63) | Gem BU (MS65–66) | Mintage | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Business Strike (Plated Steel) | $0.10 | $0.25–$0.50 | $10.00–$30.00 | ~199,925,000 | MS68: $90.00+ (extreme condition rarity — plated steel scratches easily during minting and transport; see Variants). |
| Special Wrap Roll (50 coins) | N/A | $20.00–$28.95 per roll | N/A | 10,000 Rolls | Classic paper wrapper; schooner design visible at roll ends. Ironically scarcer as a collector product than individual loose coins. Do not break the roll. |
2017 Bluenose — Collector Finishes (Specimen & Silver Proof)
Two premium finishes exist for the Bluenose design, each from a distinct Royal Canadian Mint collector set. The Specimen finish is the more accessible option; the Silver Proof is the prestige issue. Both are distinguishable from each other and from circulation strikes using the magnet test: Specimen coins are plated steel (magnetic); Silver Proof coins are .9999 silver (non-magnetic).
| Finish | Collector / Proof Grade Value | Mintage | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Specimen (SP) — Plated Steel | $3.00–$15.00 | 30,000 Sets | From the 2017 "Snow Goose" 6-Coin Specimen Set (RCM Snow Goose Set page). Matte/lined background fields; brilliant relief. Magnetic. |
| Proof — Pure Silver (.9999) | $11.00–$20.00 | Variable | Non-magnetic. 2.45 g. Deep mirror fields, frosted devices. From annual Silver Proof Set and special Canada 150 Proof Sets. |

Most Valuable 2017 Canadian Dime Varieties
The 2017 Canadian dime does not have classic die varieties such as Large/Small Beads or date punch differences. Instead, premium value is driven by condition rarity at the top of the Mint State scale and by limited-mintage NCLT collector products. The following sections outline the upper echelon of the market and the split points any collector can identify.
A) Trophy-Level Examples (Not Typical)
These represent the upper price ceiling of the 2017 dime market. Prices in this tier are heavily dependent on third-party grading (ICCS, PCGS, or NGC) and, for NCLT products, intact original packaging.
| What | Why It Commands a Premium | Requirement | Documented Value (CAD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2017 Bluenose — MS68 | Condition rarity: plated steel scratches easily during minting and transport; MS68 is virtually flawless | PCGS or NGC MS68 certification | $90.00+ |
| 2017 Wings of Peace — MS67+ | Condition rarity: large open fields reveal contact marks acutely; MS67 represents an exceptional survivor | PCGS or NGC MS67 certification | $30.00–$50.00 |
| Legacy of the Dime — Gold-Plated Silver Set (Mintage: 3,000) | Extreme scarcity + precious metal + selective gold plating on reverse; 5-coin pure silver set | Proof (Gold-Plated Silver) — RCM Legacy of the Dime page | $551.00 (set value; break-up singles command a separate premium) |
| Big Coin "Mackerel" — 5 oz Silver (Mintage: 2,150) | Bullion weight + extreme mintage rarity; 65 mm diameter re-creation of the 1967 Alex Colville mackerel centennial design | Proof, 5 oz .9999 silver, 65 mm | $599.95 |
| Pure Gold "Tall Ships" — 1 oz Gold (Mintage: 275) | Gold content + extremely limited mintage; trades on gold bullion value plus collector premium | Proof, 1 oz .9999 gold | $2,500+ |
The 2017 Big Coin Series "Mackerel" — a 65 mm, 5-ounce .9999 fine silver recreation of the iconic 1967 Alex Colville centennial dime design, shown alongside a standard 18.03 mm circulation dime for scale. With a mintage of only 2,150, it is one of the most valuable 2017-dated 10-cent products at approximately $599.95 CAD.
B) Findable Varieties Worth Checking
These are not errors but represent meaningful product and design splits that an observant collector can identify without special equipment.
| Variant | How to Identify (1 Line) | Why It Is Rarer | Typical Premium Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wings of Peace (Circulation) | Reverse shows a dove formed from a maple leaf silhouette — not the schooner ship | One-year commemorative; ~9% of total 2017 dime mintage | 2×–5× face value in MS63+ |
| Specimen (SP) Strike — Bluenose | Background fields show a distinct matte/parallel-line texture; portrait and ship are brilliant | Only 30,000 produced (Snow Goose Set); not a circulation coin | $5.00–$15.00 raw |
| Special Wrap Roll — Wings of Peace | "Canada 150" thematic paper wrapper; dove design visible at coin ends | Limited to 10,000 rolls; highly thematic packaging | $20.00–$30.00 per roll |
| Special Wrap Roll — Bluenose | Classic paper wrapper; schooner design visible at coin ends | Limited to 10,000 rolls; ironically scarcer than individual loose coins as a collector item | $20.00–$28.00 per roll |
| Legacy of the Dime — Break-Up Single | Selectively gold-plated reverse on a Silver Proof dime; gold gleams on the ship or dove design | From a 3,000-mintage set; individual coins command a break-up premium | $100+ per coin |
2017 Canadian Dime Identification Guide
Use this checklist to determine exactly which 2017 dime you have. The most critical steps are Step 2 (Reverse Design) and Step 3 (Magnet Test). Together they determine design, composition, and approximate value range in under thirty seconds.
Left: 2017 Bluenose dime reverse — Emanuel Hahn's classic schooner, in continuous production since 1937, mintage approximately 199.9 million. Right: 2017 Wings of Peace dime reverse — Amy Choi's Canada 150 dove/maple-leaf design, mintage approximately 20 million. Identifying the reverse is the first and fastest step in valuing your 2017 dime.
30-Second Identification Checklist
Obverse Check — Confirm the Portrait. The 2017 dime features the Susanna Blunt portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, introduced in 2003. The Queen is shown bare-headed (no crown), facing right, wearing a simple string of pearls and pearl earrings. If the portrait appears significantly different — for example, the Queen wearing a diadem or tiara — you have a dime from an earlier era and should consult the parent Canadian Dime Value Guide.
Reverse Check — Identify Your Design.
- Schooner (Bluenose): Classic sailing ship on the reverse — standard, high-mintage issue (~199.9 million). Face value if worn.
- Dove / Maple Leaf (Wings of Peace): A bird silhouette formed from a maple leaf outline. Canada 150 commemorative (~20 million). The coin may show the dual dates 1867–2017 as part of the commemorative design. Worth keeping if uncirculated.
Magnet Test — Determine Composition (CRITICAL).
- Sticks firmly to magnet → Plated Steel: This is a circulation Business Strike, a Specimen (SP), or a Base Metal Proof. The steel core is strongly magnetic. The vast majority of 2017 dimes are steel.
- Does NOT react to magnet → 99.99% Silver: This is a Silver Proof coin from a premium collector set. Confirm by weighing: 2.45 g for silver versus 1.75 g for steel.
Edge Check. All standard 2017 dimes have a reeded edge. A smooth (plain) edge is not a standard feature and likely indicates a broadstrike error or an alteration — out of scope for this guide.
Mint Marks. No mint marks appear on the 2017 Canadian dime in any finish (circulation, Specimen, or Proof). The absence of a mint mark is normal and expected for this denomination and era.
Finish Identification — The Key Value Split.
- Business Strike (Circulation): All-over brilliant luster with a rolling "cartwheel" effect when tilted under a light source. Fields are smooth; devices are also lustrous. Contact marks (bag marks) are normal and expected.
- Specimen (SP) — Bluenose Only: Background fields show distinct parallel lines or a matte/satin texture under magnification, while the devices (portrait and schooner) are brilliant and sharply struck. Available only from the 2017 "Snow Goose" 6-Coin Specimen Set. If you find a 2017 Bluenose dime with this lined background, it almost certainly broke out of a collector set.
- Proof — Pure Silver: Deep, dark mirror-like fields combined with heavily frosted (white) devices, resembling black-and-white cameo photography. Non-magnetic.
- Proof — Base Metal: Same mirror-plus-frost appearance but magnetic (plated steel). Originates from non-silver gift sets (e.g., "Oh Canada" sets). Use the magnet to separate from the silver version.
Finish comparison for the 2017 Canadian dime: Left — Business Strike (all-over cartwheel luster); Centre — Specimen (matte/lined background fields, brilliant devices); Right — Silver Proof (deep mirror fields, heavily frosted devices). These three finishes represent completely separate value scales. (Illustration — not a photo of your exact coin)
Magnet test for 2017 Canadian dimes: the plated steel circulation strike sticks firmly to a rare-earth magnet (left); the 99.99% silver Proof coin shows no magnetic attraction and rests freely on the surface (right). This is the fastest non-destructive test to confirm composition.
💡 Quick Diagnosis Summary
- Found in change + Magnetic + Schooner: Face value ($0.10).
- Found in change + Magnetic + Dove: Face value to $0.50+; keep if shiny.
- Magnetic + Matte/Lined Background + Schooner: Specimen from Snow Goose Set ($3.00–$15.00).
- Non-Magnetic + Mirror Background + Frosted Devices: Silver Proof ($11.00–$21.00 depending on design).
2017 Canadian Dime Value FAQs
What is a 2017 Canadian dime worth?
Most 2017 Canadian dimes found in everyday circulation are worth face value ($0.10). The Bluenose (standard) dominates total production and is worth face value when worn. The Wings of Peace (Canada 150 commemorative) is similarly worth face value in circulated grades but is worth keeping if uncirculated. Silver Proof issues trade for $11.00–$21.00 depending on design, while the rare 5-ounce Big Coin Mackerel (mintage 2,150) trades near $599.95.
Is my 2017 Canadian dime silver?
Almost certainly not, if found in everyday change. The 2017 circulation dime is multi-ply plated steel — apply a magnet. If it sticks, it is steel and contains no silver. Only the Silver Proof versions from annual Silver Proof Sets and special Canada 150 Proof Sets are struck in 99.99% pure silver. These weigh 2.45 grams versus 1.75 grams for steel and show no reaction to a magnet. Canadian circulation dimes have not contained silver since 1967 (80% silver) and early 1968 (50% silver).
What is the difference between the Bluenose and Wings of Peace designs?
Both designs share the same Susanna Blunt obverse portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The Bluenose reverse shows Emanuel Hahn's classic schooner, used on the Canadian dime continuously since 1937. The Wings of Peace reverse shows a dove composed of a maple leaf silhouette, designed by Amy Choi for the Canada 150 "My Canada, My Inspiration" program — a one-year-only design exclusive to 2017. The Wings of Peace coin may display the dual dates 1867–2017 as part of its commemorative design. Its mintage of approximately 20 million represents roughly 9% of total 2017 dime production, making it meaningfully scarcer in circulation.
What makes a 2017 Canadian dime valuable?
Four factors drive premium value above face: (1) Condition — the value cliff begins at MS65 and spikes at MS67+; plated steel is easily scratched during minting, making high-grade examples genuinely rare. (2) Finish — Specimen and Silver Proof coins from collector sets command premiums over business strikes. (3) Design — the Wings of Peace commemorative is scarcer and commands a slight premium in top uncirculated grades. (4) NCLT product mintage — special issues (Big Coin: 2,150; Legacy of the Dime set: 3,000; Pure Gold Tall Ships: 275) are rare by any standard and trade at substantial premiums independent of grade.
What is the Specimen finish and how do I identify it?
The Specimen finish is a premium collector finish produced between a Business Strike and a full Proof. Specimen coins have background fields with a matte or lined texture (parallel lines visible under magnification or a 10× loupe) while the devices — portrait and design elements — are brilliant and sharply struck. For 2017, Specimen dimes (Bluenose design only) were produced exclusively for the "Snow Goose" 6-Coin Specimen Set, with 30,000 sets made. They are magnetic (plated steel). If you find a 2017 Bluenose dime with a distinctly textured background unlike your pocket change, it is almost certainly a Specimen broken out of a set and worth $3.00–$15.00.
What is the difference between a Proof and a Specimen finish?
Both are intentional premium collector finishes, but they are produced differently and look distinct. A Proof coin has deep, dark mirror-like fields paired with heavily frosted (white, chalky) devices — the contrast resembles black-and-white cameo photography. A Specimen coin has fields with a lined or satin texture (not a full mirror) and devices that are brilliant rather than frosted. For the 2017 dime, the Specimen is plated steel and magnetic; the Silver Proof is .9999 silver and non-magnetic. The magnet test is the definitive separator between these two finishes.
Should I get my 2017 Canadian dime professionally graded?
For most 2017 dimes, grading is not economical. ICCS, PCGS, and NGC fees typically range from $30 to $50+ per coin, while a 2017 Bluenose at MS65 trades for only $10.00–$30.00. The economics work only for coins you have strong reason to believe are MS67 or better, where certified examples have reached $90.00+ at MS68. Within the Canadian market, ICCS is the domestic standard and typically the most liquid grade. PCGS and NGC graded examples attract Registry Set collectors and international buyers, sometimes supporting higher auction premiums.
What are Special Wrap Rolls and are they worth anything?
Special Wrap Rolls are Royal Canadian Mint products containing 50 circulation-finish coins sealed in thematic paper packaging — "Canada 150" styling for the Wings of Peace design and a classic format for the Bluenose. Both designs were limited to 10,000 rolls. Wings of Peace rolls trade for approximately $16.95–$29.95 per roll; Bluenose rolls trade for approximately $20.00–$28.95 per roll. A meaningful portion of the premium is for the intact collectible packaging — breaking the roll open to examine or spend the coins eliminates this packaging premium.
What is the Big Coin Mackerel and why is it so expensive?
The 2017 Big Coin "Mackerel" is a 5-ounce, 99.99% fine silver coin measuring 65 mm in diameter — considerably larger than a hockey puck. Its reverse recreates the iconic mackerel design by Alex Colville from the 1967 Centennial series, making it both a Canada 150 tribute and a centennial homage in one coin. With a mintage of only 2,150 coins, it is one of the rarest 2017-dated 10-cent products and trades near $599.95 CAD. It is easily distinguished from any standard dime by its massive 65 mm diameter — there is no risk of confusion with a pocket-change coin.
I found a shiny Wings of Peace dime in change — should I spend it?
If it is worn (circulated), spending it is fine — it is worth face value. If it appears shiny and uncirculated, set it aside. In MS65+ condition it is worth $5.00–$18.00, and in exceptional MS67+ grades it can reach $30.00–$50.00. Store it in a rigid plastic coin holder or a non-PVC soft flip — never in flexible plastic that contains PVC, which can cause green chemical damage over time. Do not rinse, wipe, or polish the coin; even water contact under the wrong conditions can introduce hairlines that drop the grade and eliminate the numismatic premium entirely.
