I bought a 2000 millennium 25 cent box set. The box is silver with a green square in the middle and inside the green square it says "MILLENNIUM CANADA MILLENAIRE" 20000 and has a small red square RCM emblem under 2000. Inside the box is a green leatheret folding case. Inside the case are 13 coins,(12 that represent various ideals, see Charlton catalogue). And one token coin.All in one hard plastic case. However I can find no reference to it anywhere on the net or in catalogues. There is a Home Hardware Store sticker on the silver box ($51.99) but I'm not sure if this is related to the coin set or not. Any help identifying this set would be greatly appreciated. Thank You for your time. Keith. |

Hi Newfie
A picture would help more to identify the coin you are talking about

when that set first came out I think it might've sold at the post office for about 50 dollars.

I have seen these sets before I can't find any reference either but I'm pretty sure they are RCM issue. I really like them and I bid on a couple on E-bay but I didn't want to go too high because I didn't know what the issue price was. Bill |

The RCM also issued these sets in Sterling silver but if I recall they came in an oval clam shell presentation box. The lower end sets came in the cardboard oval shown above, and this seems to be a nicer ptesentation of the circulation coins. What does it say on the outer box? Edited by chrycopaul
