wildflowerAB Pillar of the Community Canada 2845 Posts	Posted 10/02/2016 10:46 am It appears to be the 1967 Centennial coin and medallion removed from the red case set. http://www.colonialacres.com/product/2370/ The other type, the black cased set included a 1967 Centennial $20 gold coin instead of the silver medallion. Trivia - These were the first ever boxed sets (proof sets didn't appear until 1981) marketed to the Canadian public by RCM and they sold like hot cakes. 1967 w/gold - 337,687 1967 w/medallion - 72,463 Both types of 1967 sets are by no means rare.

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12258 Posts	Posted 10/02/2016 1:21 pm From the images provided, it appears to be a set assembled outside of the RCM by a third party. Why do I think this? The medal included in the set does not match the medal produced by the RCM for the Canadian Centennial and it includes what appears to be the manufacturer's ID "CAN ART xxx" (best I can see) on its reverse.

wilsonwu89 Pillar of the Community Canada 705 Posts	Posted 10/03/2016 04:10 am Another question. Is this set even PL? Or is it just someone who repackaged Circulation coins and calling it a PL set? The plastic looks weird. Report this Post to the Staff
Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5394 Posts	Posted 10/03/2016 04:16 am Looks pretty much like a private put together effort. Those little medallions show up in various metals , including 10 K gold , silver and bronze, brass. Companies like COTY used to do stuff like this. Pretty neat piece of memorabilia from the Centennial. Love to own one. Report this Post to the Staff
