silverdollar Valued Member 110 Posts	Posted 07/11/2013 8:57 pm Hello I am new to this forum and I finally decided to join since I had a question. I was reading a book and noticed it said that in 1944 there were 3 specimen sets minted ranging from 1 cent through to $1 I am currently building a set of Canadian silver dollars and know that there were none issued from 1940-44.I was just wondering if anyone could give me some insight as to if this is true or just a typo Thanks. P.S. The book is A guide book of Canadian coins and tokens 1st edition. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

wireman09 Pillar of the Community Canada 972 Posts	Posted 07/11/2013 9:40 pm There were no silver dollars issued in 1944 for circulation or in specimen sets. No silver dollars were issued in any strikes though the war years of 1940-44. Report this Post to the Staff

kuh_85 Pillar of the Community Canada 2366 Posts	Posted 07/11/2013 11:08 pm The list of specimen sets on pg 227 of Charlton 2013 Vol 1 lists a set of 5 coins for 1944 comprising 1c-50c. No dollar coin as the others have stated. Report this Post to the Staff
glenzy1 Pillar of the Community Canada 1554 Posts	Posted 07/12/2013 02:44 am I believe the Canadian silver dollars made in 1944 come from China. Glenn Report this Post to the Staff

EastVanRob Pillar of the Community Canada 617 Posts	Posted 07/14/2013 7:22 pm ^ During the war, the Mint had a massive reduction in staff. They had enough trouble turning out coins needed for circulation, which silver dollars were not.
