How-Do-We-Know-They-Didn't-Switch-Up-PL-Coins-Into-This-Set?

Look at how gorgeous this 1967 SP set is.

Im always suspicious though when I see a set like this in such good condition.

How do we know they didn't switch up PL coins into this set? How can you tell the difference between SP and PL?

Also:
I'll wait till gold prices crash though because ... $4000+ LOL

If you know of any dealers who sell pristine no-tarnish 1967 specimen sets without the gold coin. Please let me know. I've been looking for years.

Why would anyone switch them out?

They minted so many of both the PL and SP sets in 1967 that the prices today are basically similar (i.e., melt; unless in super high grades).

Many of the SP sets are tarnished owing to how they were packaged. It's rare exceedingly to find one without.

I don't think the owner of this set switched them out judging by how pristine the outer box appears. I think it was purchased, stored and never opened since the 1960s because there's not even a little bit of wear on the outside.

The original coins were nicer?

I do love the toned '67 Canada Centennial Confederation sets. I've picked up a few over the years (the red presentation box).
