parkay Valued Member Canada 287 Posts	Posted 01/08/2014 7:38 pm For all you business strike collectors out there. Do you consider the Uncirculated sets that the mint sells as business strikes? Would they be in the Charlton classification of MS? C, or MS? NC? Report this Post to the Staff

thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 01/08/2014 7:55 pm No I DONT consider them as business strikes as they are for sets and never exposed to the regular business strike life. And they are specifies as MS nc aka numismatic uncirculated. Feel free to call me Will. Report this Post to the Staff
wandering Valued Member Canada 161 Posts	Posted 01/10/2014 12:54 pm I remember someone said the year set before 2010(?) are different strike, which was called Proof Like by some dealers. However recently they just put normal circulation coins in set. We can see this because the coins in 2012 coin set have many bag marks. Report this Post to the Staff
kuh_85 Pillar of the Community Canada 2366 Posts	Posted 01/10/2014 1:02 pm I believe the sets were Proof Like up until 1967. Then they became Brilliant Uncirculated (MS NC in Charlton or Numismatic BU in the ICCS comment field) in 1968. ICCS switched over from PL to NBU sometime in the 70's I think so you see the same coin with a PL or NBU grade depending on when it was graded. 2011 to date the sets are Circulation.

Solidifier Pillar of the Community Canada 814 Posts	Posted 01/11/2014 1:33 pm business strikes are a lot different they are graded from G to MS, UNC and so on 1953 - 1967 sets - Proof-Like sets - PL 1968 - Present sets - Numismatic Brilliant Uncirculated NBU or BU I did not know that 2011 to date the coins in the sets are considered circulation strikes....is this true?

dialog_gvf Pillar of the Community Canada 1581 Posts	Posted 01/11/2014 10:44 pm The TPG can't distinguish recent years. It's the production and handling, not the distribution channel, that determines whether something is a business strike. The $25 set is simply ridiculously expensive for what it offers. A complete year roll set is $117 (mint sells the 50c for $25) Report this Post to the Staff
