Since jBuck bullied me into doing a 7070, I decided to do it slabbed and as registry set. So one coin I needed was an Ugly Ben. Since I had to get one, I looked for the nicest one I could find (that was cheap, didnt want to spend too much money on Ben). My 7070 Type Set so far: https://www.NGCcoin.com/registry/co...sets/305404/My Ugly Ben.   |

Treated myself to a reverse proof and uncirculated telephone Innovation dollar! I love the design and live in Massachusetts, so I HAD to have at least one... though now that I see it, I think I prefer the standard proof style instead of the reverse!   |

And then one day you find
ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run,
you missed the starting gun  I didn't know about this set until yesterday. Having 226 different Canada "nickels" now, starting in 1922, the whole 5 coin set was a must have. No half dollar though? A couple years and I'm sure that the 2022 5 cent 100th anniversary will surely put me in the poor house. You know it's coming. Glad for the One Dollar Voyager though.  2010 Limited Edition 75th Anniversary

@TNG: Glad you learned about this set! It's a nice one that I've enjoyed having in my collection. Quote:
No half dollar though? Canada didn't strike half dollars for circulation in 1935, so none were included in this 75th anniversary of Canada's first circulating silver dollar commemorative proof set - just the coins struck for circulation that year.

@TNG: Are you familiar with the two 90th Anniversary of the Royal Canadian Mint commemorative sets that were released in 1998? One featured coins with a proof finish, the other had coins with an antique finish. Both sets include five cent coins. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems.
