For Those Who Collect The 5 Cent Canadian New Issues Each Year

Thank you for that info. I still expect a couple Elizabeth proofs? I edited my list up there.

@TNG: The RCM released its colourized silver proof sets in August the past two years. I don't have any inside info, but #225 on your list may be just around the corner!

@vonigohcr: Thanks for the info!

@TNG




Actually it is the V design double dated 1945-2020 with KGVI on the obverse. The V is colourized

I saw several ridiculous asking prices for pre-sale colorized V-E 5 cent coins recently. I went and ordered the whole set which is probably the way to go from here on out.
The set cost about $165.00 shipped from The Royal Canadian Mint but won't arrive until late October.
A lot of money but at least it is a better value. No wonder people bust up these sets and sell off singles.
This is the 5 cent coins I now have collected for 2020 5 cents so far if it does arrive. I'll have 225 different 5 cent coins then. Still wonder if Elizabeth II will show up in silver and steel proofs?

There is a note that taxes may be adjusted in my confirmation email.
That is about as vague as "Just pay a separate fee" When you get one free if you buy one of anything on TV I guess.

I worked up this picture of coins in the set.

I wish I could answer that for you. I don't know. The uncirculated Queen Elizabeth II did come from an O Canada mint set that I have and it is a wonderful looking normal coin. It does not have the characteristics of and unc that you would find in a roll. It is virtually mark free with strong strike. Perhaps these were carefully handled 5 cent coins.
I do have the Queen Elizabeth II specimen that is reversed with the linen fields. I think it comes from a "specimen set".
These silver and all nickel coins have been coming in special sets for a number of years now and I think I am tired of paying single coin prices. I will be more educated next year and buy whole sets from now on to keep up my 5 cent set.

Same thing with my set: originally scheduled for October, but delayed to the 12th of November. Fingers crossed.
