I think this was a gift for my graduation from my parents. Its been locked up and forgotten since the early 80s. I'll have to find out what its worth.

Thanks , I found a whole strong box with my earliest coin collecting endevours at my parents house. Some clips, a bunch of circulated silver, a few bills, and a bunch of rolls of pennies and nickels. You are right its great finding stuff you forgot about.

I liked this.
With all respect, but in my opinion - this is what all our collections are for relatives:
"some circulation stuff, here and there bullions, bunch of silver NCLT and some gold coins, sets and single boxes"

Since, if to think well - no art, no rarity, no importance here.
History and legacy? C'mon....history this is the events and studies, and not something, that was minted at that time or something with the related pictures.

One of my favourites - designed by Dora de Pedery-Hunt, who later designed the Queen's portrait on the obverse of our coinage.

Hold on, JimmyD's information is incorrect.

You have the 22kt Proof which is worth 2x.

Issue price 150.00
350,000 minted
Current Value ~ $800

Your right Canadian Coins.
I misread it and gave the 14K price.
Sorry.

Ya I thought Canadians Coins numbers were what I had found. It was locked in a safe in a strong box and now its going back to my safety deposit box, now that I've got some pics. I see there is one on ebay for 1400$. My kid is gonna love me when she gets it.

There is more to find as I'm taking over my dad's collection , he's getting to old to handle it all. I don't know where to start.
