Canada RCM 1908-1998 Antique Finish 90th Anniversary Set

That's a neat looking set, Pocket Change!

I looked it up in my new Charlton 5th edition catalogue where I can see the reverse designs. Very cool!

I see that your one cent must have no "Canada".

Oh Canada, eh

Yeah it's funny, I was trying to add an extended edit on my free gift set post. I'd realized it was my 1,000 post so wanted to add a bit about the milestone. I hit post and 5 min later nothing was happening. So I asked my son, if he was having issues, answer no. Then I cleared history and cookies, still no help. Finally 20 mins later I could add a shorter modified comment to the post.
The pics I'd optimized them 3X and still I was getting the no service comment. I may try later, as I did the photos with the cover off, since 47Pt7 thinks it's lazy not to. I've got another reason besides time to not want to take photos of raw coins. My pets are usually near me, and it's easy for pet hair to get into the capsules. It's a pita to try and remove because of static cling. It's one of my pet peeves about coins and pets!! Trying to keep hair from sneaking into photos or clinging to capsules.

My darn Persian cat loves sleeping in my pile of RCM packing boxes. It's an uncomfortable area, I've got a couple rows stacked against the wall. It's my cats favorite place to sleep. He's got much softer places through the house. The boxes and bathroom sink are kittkat's favorite spots. Oh another is on my cell phone, when I put it down near me. I don't know how many times: I've lost the ph - the cat was sitting on it.

Hey guys I just checked and Canada is missing. Wow I never noticed, I just bought it to go with the proof set in regular finish. The designs are exceptional and to have them in mint state is awesome. A couple yrs ago I used to see the sets all over ebay. This pass year they don't come up to often.

Thanks CC Ottawa I didn't know the completed mintages for either set. I'm amazed the antique finish is higher. I thought it would be lower, as I heard it wasn't as popular as the mirror version.

I really like the look of the proof set but I don't have either atm lol, if I were to get one I would have to get the other as well just because. Maybe a Christmas gift for my self , I was looking at gatewest combo deal , not bad, but I am getting to the point that I have to start unloading some stuff and figuring out what I want to keep long term such as sets , certain singles etc etc. I don't think I can part with the sets that I have but some of the singles have to go..just too many.

Hi moosey, do you know how many of these large cents have the missing Canada ? I remember reading something back in early 2013, I never really paid attention. I was thinking I'd never run across it or I'd not be able to afford one. Back then a $100 was lots to spend on a single coin. I never forseen spending more than $70 on 1 coin. I mostly spent way less, average per coin seldom exceeded $35 per silver coin. Nowadays it's a lot different.

I guess I never noticed because the other coins have Canada, so I wasn't expecting it. The brain is great for filling in the gaps. I'm also not an error or variety collector - so never look for abnormalities. I could have rare error coins and not be aware. The only difference is some that are commonly known then I'd check for them. It's not something I spend time doing.

I cannot find any info concerning the missing Canada on the large cent. How many were minted? Does the regular proof set have the same error? Is the antique set also considered a proof finish, or what is the finish called other than the color?
