I recently received a package from a fellow member containing a treasure trove of Canadian coinage to expand my set and I am finally getting a chance to go through it all and take pics to share. I will be posting more as I get pics, but here's a start!

1985 Specimen Set - my birth year:

Some-New-Additions-From-A-Generous-CCFer
Some-New-Additions-From-A-Generous-CCFer

2011 Legendary Nature Parks 25 cent set:

Some-New-Additions-From-A-Generous-CCFer
Some-New-Additions-From-A-Generous-CCFer

What do you all think of cutting those out of the plastic to put in 2x2s? What would you do?

Last but not least, a 1984 Toronto silver $1 proof! I think this is a fantastic design:

Some-New-Additions-From-A-Generous-CCFer
Some-New-Additions-From-A-Generous-CCFer
Some-New-Additions-From-A-Generous-CCFer

This is truly a generous community.

Very nice! Always great to hear about one CCF'er helping another!

I would leave the 25-cent coins in their original packaging - it's not a bulky or distracting package and it keeps the set together for easy examination of the types and varieties.

That Fer would be our very own loonielewy! To be fair, I've sent him some things, as well. Although, I probably owe him now.

When I heard sprue was putting together a Canadian type set, I just had to help my friend. Putting the coins together for him was fun, and I got carried away with these ones. Just one of the perks for being a Black Sheep. Butch taught us well.
