The 25c Liberation must be one of the scarcest coins that nobody knows about.

Lets don't forget the World Money Fair of 500 sets with the tokens that Canada made for China,Japan and Germany from 2010 to 2013. The first 2010 China set is the rarest with estimated only 25 sets making it to Canada. There was also the RCNA,Calgary Stamped and Chicago sets made too! Most of these sets had to be bought off e-bay to get them for a premium $$. |

I wouldn't consider the special issue coin sets the RCM produced for shows that it attended outside of Canada "co-production" sets. My understanding is that all of the coins in the set were struck by the RCM. They don't include coins from countries other than Canada, they simply feature coins with a theme reflecting the location of the coin show. In addition to the sets listed by kuh_85, the RCM also took part in a five-year International Olympic Committee program with Australia, Austria, France and Greece to commemorate the centennial of the Olympic Games. Canada contributed two $15 silver coins and one $175 gold coin. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

Every so often for the last year I've done some searching for the 2010
Beijing Commemorative Canadian Coin and Token set as pictured in chadcoins' post. Does anyone have one for sale or know of where I might find one?

I watched a complete collection of these sets (2010-2013) get auctioned off, and included the 2010 Beijing set... it went for almost $1000...

I just checked what I paid for the 2011,2012,2013 sets and it was approx. $165. incl. shipping/taxes/etc. (I bought them individually). So how much is the 2010 set worth if you say the lot of 4 went for $1,000+?

I have a set of the Germany/Berlin 2012 with the old style toonie and loonie, also have 3 sets of the Germany/Berlin 2013 ones. Nice low mintage sets, if you can get a few cheap enough, prices will most like keep going up over the next few years/ maybe.
