RoyalSilver Pillar of the Community Canada 933 Posts	Posted 05/04/2013 11:36 pm Im starting a collection of all proof silver $2 coins from 1996-present. I already have a few coins to get me started, but I was not able to find accurate mintage numbers per year for these coins. Based on my assumption that all of these $2 are pulled from the 8 coin proof sets, I used page 284 of the volume 2 charlton collector and maple leaf issues to determine the mintages. However, there are a couple years that have different designs for certain coins, so I would also assume that I would just add that set mintage to the overall year and get the final mintage for that entire year. Is this correct? Or are these $2 coins coming from a different source. Sorry if my post was confusing lol. Report this Post to the Staff

kuh_85 Pillar of the Community Canada 2366 Posts	Posted 05/04/2013 11:40 pm Check the $2 section and it should tell you if any were issued as stand alone coins for a particular year. Otherwise yes, if there are two set designs in the same year (and the design difference isn't the $2 coin!) then just add them together to get the total for the year. I think I still have a few spares lying around so PM me if you like. Report this Post to the Staff
RoyalSilver Pillar of the Community Canada 933 Posts	Posted 05/04/2013 11:47 pm perfect. I think the only single issue was the 1996 proof, which I also found in the same charlton guide. Gave me an exact description of how much ASW is in the coin, which was good to have as it would help determine how much I'm willing to pay haha. PM sent :) Report this Post to the Staff

t_y Pillar of the Community Canada 632 Posts	Posted 05/05/2013 3:53 pm A couple of notes: It is quite difficult to find high grades for a few years. Prices are high because a lot of the coins were melted I have 3 complete sets (including the #1 PCGS registry set) and am assembling a fourth. Remember that 1996 is base metal (nickel) and one of the 2 proofs struck in 2012 is also nickel while the other is the only solid silver in the series In my opinion, a complete set would include the 4 gold proofs and the piedfort.
