DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 03/31/2013 2:46 pm Don't believe it's an RCM issued set.Wooden cases such as this were available for aftermaket sets. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 03/31/2013 2:48 pm The case looks like it is recycled from the Montreal Olympics proof set, with an aftermarket insert for Canadian circulation coins.

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 04/02/2013 9:54 pm Peel back the gold sticker to see if the Olympic logo is present. The cases for the Montreal sets were made by Renwick. After the Olympic program was seriously undersold,there must have been a lot of unused cases hanging around. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

kuh_85 Pillar of the Community Canada 2366 Posts	Posted 04/03/2013 7:21 pm Yes, it has the leather stamps as shown. Yes, there is an Olympic logo under the gold sticker on the lid. Report this Post to the Staff
Bm0ney Pillar of the Community Canada 1005 Posts	Posted 04/03/2013 7:49 pm Neat, makes sense they are Olympic cases with 1974 stamped on the end of a 1980 set. Report this Post to the Staff
Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 04/04/2013 07:49 am No doubt not a coincidence that the coins are 1980..... That coincides with the big spike in silver prices which caused many of the Olympic sets to sent to the melting pot. Report this Post to the Staff
