RJRL New Member Canada 14 Posts	Posted 03/02/2022 5:12 pm Should a Canadian dime from a RCM 2016 special edition silver dollar proof set be magnetic? Report this Post to the Staff

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 03/02/2022 5:24 pm If it's one of the silver proof sets then the dime is made of silver, as would be the quarter and nickel I believe but idk much about proof sets. Silver is non magnetic. Report this Post to the Staff

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 03/02/2022 5:54 pm If it's this set then it's supposed to be silver. When you said special addition this is what I assumed you were refering to. Report this Post to the Staff
commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12253 Posts	Posted 03/02/2022 6:05 pm Just to make sure we're all on the same page: If the Proof Set in question features a gold-plated silver dollar - the dime is silver and should be non-magnetic. If the Proof Set features a colourized silver dollar - the dime is nickel-plated steel and should be magnetic. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

RJRL New Member Canada 14 Posts	Posted 03/02/2022 7:09 pm The description states that the dollars is silver but the others are Three-ply nickel finish plated steel? Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 03/03/2022 2:00 pm Short answer: yes The annual silver proof set is silver, but there was also a second set, with all coins being base metal, except for the silver dollar.

RJRL New Member Canada 14 Posts	Posted 03/03/2022 2:24 pm I have removed the Transatlatic Cable Silver dollar I have attempted to install photo and this is what happens? Report this Post to the Staff
Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 03/03/2022 2:26 pm If the set is not mint sealed though it cannot really be confirmed weather or not the accidentally put a silver dime in the set that should have been plated as it could have simply been swapped out from one set to the other. If the set is sealed it would be a packing error which carries a premium from what I have seen, otherwise it's just a silver dime with no way to prove it came from the mint like that.

RJRL New Member Canada 14 Posts	Posted 03/03/2022 2:47 pm Hello and thank you. This set, as all others sets, come directly to me from the mint as I collect the proof silver dollars. I have some people that like the other coins which I sell them to recop some of the $235 I pay for it. It is pure silver. I just mentioned the dime to keep it simple but all the coins are non megnetic. (Using a very stong magnetic)? Report this Post to the Staff

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12253 Posts	Posted 03/03/2022 4:26 pm @RJRL: Please provide an image of the reverse of the silver dollar. Thanks! The COA you've shown is not the one that is supposed to come with the all silver (i.e., $235) set. If you are sure that it is the one that came with set, and your SD is selectively gold-plated, and if you have removed the other coins from the case and they are non-magnetic, then it would appear that an incorrect COA was inserted in your set at the Mint. If that's the case, you have a simple packaging error. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

RJRL New Member Canada 14 Posts	Posted 03/27/2022 1:34 pm Okay, I was finally able to get back on this wonderful site. So after all the answers here, I guess that I have a proof set that should have included steel coins instead of silver! Anyone else receive the same error set? Report this Post to the Staff
RJRL New Member Canada 14 Posts	Posted 03/27/2022 4:50 pm Actually the cost of this set for me was $99.95 with the coloured silver dollar. Report this Post to the Staff
