I was curious if there were any Canadian proof coin collectors here? If so how about some pics? I have never seen one in person. (Not to be confused with PL coins from uncirculated sets) Edited by TheForce

Majority of NCLT are in Proof finish
Or you refer to the Proof Circulation coins, TheForce?
Circulation coins (more correctly "designs") are found in the annual Proof sets (with extra dollar), I believe, many people buying these.

I am really not familiar with what comes with a Canadian proof set. But I am talking about I guess is the Canadian equivalent to the US proof set.

The Canadian Proof Set, here's a link. They're bound in aleather case. My personal experience, I bought sets each year to continue the series in the collection given to me. My dad was primarily a circulation collector who bought proof sets as a sort complimentary variety. But after afew decades passed, all those Proof cases packed away in storage bins became uninteresting to me. Then a new idea sprung forth, these sets are a great way to launch a silver dollar collection that continues beyond 1967 . So that's what I did, I carefully split open the cases to free the SD and rehouse it in an individual quantum holder. The SD within has become the new and only reason that I buy proof sets. https://www.jandm.com/script/getite...CID=5&PID=19 |

Not sure if anyone else does this but I have taken a liking to just collecting the 50 cent coins out of proof sets that others have broken apart. So far I have managed to get from 1981-2011 with only 2007 missing.  |
