I have to wonder what the RCM did with all the sets they bought back at face value in the early 90s when the bullion value of these coins was less than their face value. |

I have heard that they and the BOC does not even recognize these as legal tender. Just ask Jo at J&M. he tried to pay his taxes with them years ago. REV Can hesitantly took them with the reservation trhat the mint confirm the value of $10, apparently RCM refused. and Jo was stuck making up the difference with penalties etc.... it is heresay but apparently true. |

They are bullion value coins.There were 7 sets of 4 coins issued between 1973 and 1976,your coins are of the first sets issued in December 1973.Only the total mintage of all coins in all 7 sets is known,about 12 million.

https://goccf.com/t/113847&whichpage=2#972470"A few errors are known, including incorrect date and also coins struck in nickel instead of silver. " that's sucks :( if someone purchased it with silver price but actually bought nickel coins
