Talk about the proverbial red headed step child.
That girl has no soul.
Canada ... Period. Do they all have the dot?

Sorry, I got carried away with all the pictures that I forgot to read what was there already!
I think the '76 Olympic coins were (are) better than the modern ones because the coins were larger, therefore they had more field with which to work. The designs aren't AS cartoony and they have more detail than the generic looking Vancouver coins.
That 2008 coin at least is stamped "BS", so the mint gave us fair warning! (just kidding, no offense to the engraver it's only a joke! Some of us are biased towards older more traditional coin designs.) :D

I agree with most of you....76 series is far superior to the Vancouver Series.

Very nice set 10xloupe!
Will you try to buy the $10 73/74 Map mule to put with your set?
I think it would be a incredible set if you did buy one.

do the 10 dollar coins carry any premium over their silver value. I have 2 of them I got them for about 13 each. I dont even know how to weigh them because they are still in the sealed case.

Canada 1976 Summer Olympic $10 Coin: 44.95 grams of sterling silver (92.5% silver) for an actual silver weight (asw) of 1.337 Troy Oz. There's not much of a premium on these pieces, typically selling for near spot silver price... although there are some expensive errors.

I bought a couple of $10 coins on a whim at scrap value, about 4 years after issue, when they lost most of their popularity. Both are ecapsulated.

Does anyone have information about this set when sold in a walnut chest? Just going from memory, the chest is about 25 cm x 25 cm x 25 cm, with brass hardware, and a lock and key. There are seven drawers, each for one 4-coin series of the Montreal Olympic set, with a golden coloured medallion with the roman numeral of the series. I have only seen a couple of other instances of this presentation format, such as: http://www.thecoincompany.co.uk/277.htmlWas this chest available separately? I see no mention of it in Charlton amongst the myriad presentations sold by the mint. I inherited my set from my grandfather, who would have collected the coins at the time. Mine are cased circulation strikes, like Apollo's, and it seems he likely bought them by the series, as I have COA for series II through VII, rather than a COA for the whole set. Series I appears to have been purchased as circulation pieces, uncased. Thanks! |

I have no idea. But I might be willing to part with mine if someone needs to complete their set. Spot and cover shipping
