wilsonwu89 Pillar of the Community Canada 705 Posts	Posted 11/06/2025 2:16 pm https://www.ebay.ca/itm/167890846967 Look at how gorgeous this 1967 SP set is. Im always suspicious though when I see a set like this in such good condition. How do we know they didn't switch up PL coins into this set? How can you tell the difference between SP and PL? Also: I'll wait till gold prices crash though because ... $4000+ LOL If you know of any dealers who sell pristine no-tarnish 1967 specimen sets without the gold coin. Please let me know. I've been looking for years. Edited by wilsonwu89 11/06/2025 2:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff

johnnysprawl Pillar of the Community Canada 1618 Posts	Posted 11/06/2025 6:02 pm Why would anyone switch them out? They minted so many of both the PL and SP sets in 1967 that the prices today are basically similar (i.e., melt; unless in super high grades). Report this Post to the Staff
wilsonwu89 Pillar of the Community Canada 705 Posts	Posted 11/06/2025 6:56 pm Many of the SP sets are tarnished owing to how they were packaged. It's rare exceedingly to find one without. I don't think the owner of this set switched them out judging by how pristine the outer box appears. I think it was purchased, stored and never opened since the 1960s because there's not even a little bit of wear on the outside. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19146 Posts	Posted 11/09/2025 12:23 pm I do love the toned '67 Canada Centennial Confederation sets. I've picked up a few over the years (the red presentation box). Edited by ijn1944 11/09/2025 12:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff
