What Moves the Silver Price in Canada?

Silver wears two hats: it is a precious metal that trades alongside gold, and an industrial input used in electronics, solar photovoltaics, batteries and medical applications. That dual nature makes the silver price more volatile than gold — industrial demand cycles and manufacturing data can move silver sharply in both directions.

For the Canadian-dollar price, the USD/CAD exchange rate is the second driver: global silver trades in U.S. dollars, so a move in the loonie changes what Canadians pay per ounce. Supply is comparatively inelastic — most silver is mined as a by-product of copper, lead, zinc and gold — which can amplify price swings when demand shifts.

To see how much of any move is silver versus currency, the Kitco Global Index (KGX) shows silver's value with the US dollar's influence stripped out.

Silver Value by Purity in Canada

Silver items vary in purity, and that difference directly affects their melt value. Investment-grade silver, including bullion bars and Royal Canadian Mint Silver Maple Leaf coins, is typically .999 fine or better. The Silver Maple Leaf is .9999 fine silver, or 99.99% pure. By comparison, most sterling silver jewellery, flatware and household items are 92.5% pure silver.

Silver purity is commonly expressed as fineness, which represents the amount of pure silver per thousand parts. Many silver items carry a quality or fineness mark such as 925, 999 or 9999.

Silver price per gram by fineness today: .9999 C$2.92 · .999 C$2.92 · .9584 C$2.80 · .925 C$2.70 · .900 C$2.63 · .800 C$2.33.

For example, an item marked 925 contains 92.5% silver by weight. Its approximate melt value is therefore based on 92.5% of the value of the same weight in pure silver.

Canadian Silver Coins

Older Canadian coins are a common source of inherited silver. Canadian dimes, quarters and half-dollars dated 1920 through 1966 were generally struck in 80% silver.

Canada began reducing the silver content of dimes and quarters in 1967. Some 1967 and 1968 dimes and quarters were struck in 50% silver before Canada completed the transition to nickel. Canadian 1967 half-dollars remained 80% silver, while 1968 half-dollars were struck in nickel.

Older coins can also have collector or numismatic value above their silver content, so potentially collectible coins should be evaluated before being sold solely for melt value.

The calculator above shows the current estimated melt value of silver by purity in Canadian dollars using the live silver spot price. These figures represent melt value, not necessarily the price you will receive when selling. Dealers typically pay below melt value for scrap silver, while finished bullion, jewellery and collectible items may trade above their underlying silver value.

Silver Price CAD FAQ

What is the silver price in CAD today?

What is the silver price per ounce in Canadian dollars?

The per-ounce figure converts the world spot silver price into CAD. Because silver is much cheaper per ounce than gold, many Canadian buyers also watch the per-gram and per-kilo rows in the table on this page.

Why is the silver price in Canada different from the U.S. silver price?

The underlying metal price is the same worldwide; the Canadian quote reflects the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollars. Currency movement alone can change the CAD silver price day to day.

How often does Kitco update the silver price in CAD?

The CAD silver quote refreshes in real time while global markets are open, using Kitco’s live price feeds; the last close is displayed when markets are shut.

How much is 1 oz of silver today in Canada?

One troy ounce of silver is C$90.76 in Canadian dollars, the same live quote shown at the top of this page. The figure is derived from the global spot silver price converted at the current USD/CAD rate.

What is the silver price per gram and per 10 grams in Canada?

One gram of pure silver is C$2.92 and ten grams is C$29.18. Because silver is far cheaper per ounce than gold, Canadian buyers often work in grams — the unit table on this page carries both, alongside kilo, pennyweight, tola and tael.

How much is sterling silver worth compared with pure silver?

Sterling silver is 92.5% pure, marked 925, and is the standard for most jewellery, flatware and tea sets. Its melt value is therefore 92.5% of the same weight in pure silver. Older Canadian dimes, quarters and half-dollars dated 1920 through 1966 were generally struck in 80% silver, and some 1967 and 1968 dimes and quarters in 50% silver. Collectible coins can be worth more than their silver content.

What is the gold-silver ratio?

The number of troy ounces of silver equal in value to one troy ounce of gold at current prices. It is calculated directly from the two spot prices and changes as they move, which is why it is quoted rather than fixed.

Why does the silver price move more sharply than the gold price?

Silver wears two hats: a precious metal held in bars and coins, and an industrial input used in electronics, solar cells, batteries and brazing alloys. That industrial half of demand responds to manufacturing cycles. Supply is also slow to react, because most newly mined silver arrives as a by-product of copper, lead, zinc and gold mining.
