Thank you. Nah, I'm good. I'll stick to a date set personally. I might get the 2 from 2012, but that's probably it.
The only thing I might be interested in is purchasing some of the older, pre-37 older style small cents. Is there a name for them, though?
Because obviously, despite both being Canadian small cents, both the reverse and obverse are different. I much prefer the standard reverse from 37 to 2012.

Nice set!
I have always liked the Canadian cents. I had most of them from putting together a set like yours back in the 1970's. They sat in storage for decades until 2012 when Canada discontinued the cent coin. So I decided to "finish" my set. I got all the dates, and then noticed the varieties. So I got those. Then I thought "why not do the large cents too?". Most of them weren't very expensive after all. To make a very long story short, I collect them all now: Small and large, by date, mint mark, variety, die pairs and die states. I have enjoyed the coins, and even more the friendships of fellow collectors.
Seeing your set bring back some fond memories of my collecting journey. If you would like a few earlier cents, message me and I'll send you a few to meditate on.

You may want to consider looking at the ones with 2 or more coins in a year... This has been on my long list for a long time.  |

WTG Humanist1287. Nice start. I did the same in the 1970's when I found a 1923 Canadian Cent in circulation. I was really into Lincolns at the time, but that find gave me the bug, and I completed the set through circulation finds, much like yourself.

I am a big fan of the Canada 1 cent coins too. Thanks mostly to McShilling and Loonie, I have managed to put together a nearly complete set of the small cents. I'm missing 6 of the KM#28 coins (mostly the low mintage one), both 2006P (one of which is very rare), 2007 KM#490,

Thanks Mike. I checked the link. Minimum postage is $120, so I don't think I'll buy from that website.

That's a nice collection. Congrats!
I lived for 13 years less than 10 miles from the Canadian border in East Aurora, NY. On weekends, folks from Ontario would come down to shop at the Vidlers 5 & dime store, so it was very common to receive Canadian cents in change whenever I shopped in the village. Now I wish I had kept them all.
