Would I be correct in thinking on account of the packaging that this was some sort of special RCM product (or a part of such)? I ask because I really don't know enough about collectible Canadian coinage, I don't see that there was a proof issue for this year, and besides, it doesn't look like a proof strike in any event.
yes it is often found in the bins of dealers... However a very nice addition to your collection. They are a good looking coin, whether it be a 1963, 64, 65, or 66.
Petersun the coin would be ICCS PL 64 or 65 and NOT MS as this is from a PL set and not a circulation strike. When you see these in the RCM pliofilm, what has usually happened is a dealer has cut up sets for the silver content or one of the coins had a superb Cameo and was sent in for grading. Dealer junk boxes have lots of cents and 5 cents from 1962-67 from these sets. Hope this helps!
