Maybe this has been there for a while, but I just noticed that many older NCLTs are on the website now (archived). Just a few of them:

1976 dollar http://www.mint.ca/store/coins/1-li...-prod2460020
1970 dollar http://www.mint.ca/store/coins/1-ni...-prod2460682
1978 dollar http://www.mint.ca/store/coins/1-11...-prod2460017
1980 dollar http://www.mint.ca/store/coins/1-ar...-prod2460012

Notice anything odd about these listing?

(hint - read the reviews and questions).

I've never noticed that before, but those Archived pages have only recently been added considering RCM certainly did not have a website back then (as difficult as it might be for the younger generation to imagine, we all somehow survived throughout the dark ages......).

If there's a good reason for it, it connects RCM with its traditional and historical past. The "Archived" Collector Silver Dollars are just as much collectable today as they were back then.

Another "odd" thing.
On the 3 - 50% silver dollars, the RCM has the weight as 36.07 g instead of 23.30 g.
They can't even get their own specifications right.

When Canada reintroduced the Silver Dollar in 1971, they were made
of 50-50 composition through to 1991.
In 1992 they introduced Silver Dollars made of 92.5% Silver.

I can't say for certain how many of the older dollar coins were included at the time, but I noticed the RCM had put at least some of them on the web site several months ago. I was looking for some information for an article I was writing and came across them.

It Is funny that they don't even have their own images of coins they made. The photos are curtesy of Charlton Press
