NCLTs Of Significance

Story about greedy Mint, that put for sale several "150-Anniversary" sets/items/collections. And for this one didn't find nothing better than putting coloured pixelized picture on the coin.
Interesting, will Canada Post issue endless editions (framed, uncut, with signature..etc) of the stamps with the same pictures?

Added:
I sure, all of us will get some Anniversary RCM item....just depends on choice.

Birth of a Country is surely not only just important, but above of all other stuff that appears on NCLT.
But this set, imo, not really represent anniversary.
Does it somehow "more Canada" than "O Canada" set for example?

My thought - RCM will mint several items / sets / etc..., and starts to distribute from "lower" to the best.
better to wait for real 2017, I think

The wooden cases are always nice, although they use up valuable storage space.

How come you decided to sell (and you had really great coins) and now starting the wheel again ?

Maybe there's a misunderstanding if it's believed this set is the only NCLT that will be issued to celebrate Canada's 150th anniversary?

There will without a doubt be many NCLT 150th options next year. Special 2017 circulation coinage is also being issued for each denomination - from 5c to the toonie. While RCM hasn't announced the winning designs, quite a few month ago they invited the public to vote on preferences. This follows the tradition of 1967, the only other year when special anniversary one year circulation coin was ever issued for each denomination.

Therefore the 2017 Silver Proof and Uncirculated Sets will celebrate the 150th anniversary as each set is designed based on circulation coin. If there's not several other single issues, plus 2 or 5 oz sets, painted, GID, endless possibilities....it's a pretty safe bet that many of the recent "first" releases have been practice prototypes for RCM for what is planned next year. It will be a big deal, a time when I'd expect many Canadians for the first time will save (collect) coin, whether it be circulation or NCLT.

As for this set, sure anyone who likes it, go for it but for me, it's low in significance to what's on the horizon for next year.

I agree with you. I'd bet that RCM releases most every type to compliment each of the size and style of commemorative NCLT already released. And why not, a 2017 version to add to an existing collection,, it's a natural progression. A Special Edition 50 year anniversary proof set to commemorate the 1967 coinage wouldn't surprise me either.

I never even thought of a commemorative coin to mark the anniversary of a commemorative coin, but you're right, the RCM probably has.
I'm thinking next year might be a hit because of the 150th, and the fact that there is a complete set that will be issued for circulation is going to be why. It will spark interest a little bit at least. The '67 set was 1 of my first purchases that started my collection and I remember thinking that they were cool because so few coins in circulation have a different design. I'm young enough to have not been around yet when they were issued, but old enough to have stumbled across hundreds of them going up, mostly pennies. I remember playing video games at an arcade and getting to the last level, where there was a boss you had to beat. All of our friends pumped fistfuls of coins into this machine to get to that point and my brother refused to put his last quarter in because "it wasn't the moose". By the time we could find any other coins, the continue counter ran out and we never made it that far again. The game was made by Sega and was called Altered Beast. And a personal size pepperoni pizza at Pizza Hut cost $2.13, leaving each of us with 11 greasy quarters from a $5 allowance.
The '73 RCMP quarter was another that spark interest among my friends but we're still common enough that they usually got spent.
I can only think of a few coins, such as the victory nickels, and volunteer dimes that made their way into circulation.
The $1, $2, 25 cent coins have obviously had many, far too many to list off the top of my head. The quarter has so many different designs,
I wouldn't be surprised if a random design was used by counterfeiters that didn't even include the Queen, Canada or 25 cents on it. As long as it was silver in colour and the same size, most people wouldn't even notice I'd bet, since there is dozens of legitimate designs out today.
It will be nice to turn the spotlight to the 5 and 10 cents for a change.

The only reason I thought of it is because I've found some interesting coins in my change and just throw them in a jar but clearly at least two people passed them off as legit in order for them to make it to me. The cashier that gave me my change likely didn't notice when accepting it from a previous customer or when giving it to me.
American coins come up in change all the time but usually get passed on even when they are spotted. It's surprising that some think that because the US dollar is higher than ours, the US coins they come across should be saved.
Either way, I would advise against using anything other than Canadian legal tender. I'm assuming it would be illegal even if the coins were foreign as opposed to counterfeit
