The ONLY coins in the silver proof set that feature King George are the large dollar and the nickel, and the ONLY coin with a privy mark is the large dollar.

Wow! I guess I misinterpreted the Mint's description (see below) on the Web site sales page for the set. They must be referring to other V-E coins vs. the other coins in the Proof Set.

From the Mint's web site:

"A VICTORY PRIVY MARK: Every coin in our 2020 V-E Day collection - including this set's gold-plated version of the 2020 Proof Dollar - features a special Victory privy mark."

The web site also lists Paget as the designer of the obverse for all of the coins (5 cent through 2 dollar). Paget designed the King George VI effigy, so I assumed that meant George'd portrait appeared on all of the coins.

@atticguy: Thanks for the update/clarification. My coins are in transit, but haven't arrived as of yet.

Thanks for the clarification, I stand corrected. I have ordered but not yet received the proof set.

I misinterpreted the note on the RCM site where they say:
"The 2020 Pure Silver 7-Coin Proof Set - 75th Anniversary of V-E day is part of a yearlong commemoration ... "

and

"Every coin in our 2020 V-E day collection ... features a special Victory privy mark"

I knew that only the 5-cent coin had a non-standard reverse as that is depicted on the site... only the SD has the obverse depicted but the specs on the RCM site indicate the obverse artist is T.H. Paget not Susanna Blunt as would be expected for the contemporary obverse

https://www.mint.ca/store/coins/202...hop-Silver_&

I have received the standalone SD and $100 14K gold coin and they do have KGVI and the Victory privy on the obverse.

The RCM's website has been wrong before... I guess I should wait until I have it in hand and not assume what is written or depicted on the website is correct

Gentlemen,
Yes, I took a second look at the RCM website earlier and also believed what they mentioned and was (a little) surprised when I actually got the set.
Today I got the silver proof set, the uncirculated set, and the solo large silver "V" dollar proof. I'll pull both large dollars out and add them to my large silver dollar folder, right behind the 2020 "Peace" dollar I got late last year.
The only coin I really liked today was the gold plated "V" dollar; the rest of today's delivery are just regular 'hole fillers'.

What do you use for your collection? I use Lighthouse trays and they have been perfect until the Peace dollar. With the extra height in the capsule to protect the UHR feature, it is too tall for the tray and it is currently an orphan in the deep Murano Glass tray. Not saying I will change but since you refer to pulling the coins and adding them to the rest of your SD collection, I am interested in what solution you have opted to use.
