I'm trying to put together a post 1900 Canadian quarter type set, intended for circulation issues only. Think I have mostly figured out what the set should be, and actually have most of it, but I have a few questions I can't answer from Krause. First off, for 1992, in addition to one quarter for each province / territory there seems to be a Confederation anniversary issue dual date 1867-1992. Was this issued for circulation? Also, how many different Olympic colorized coins had some circulation issues? I know the Klassen one did, but what others?

thanks in advance for any help!

In 1992, there was only 12 x business strike quarters ( 10 provinces and 2 territories) issued for circulation.

From what I have seen so far, there is 3 colorized Olympics quartes:
Men's hockey, Womens' hockey and Cindy Claussen.

The RC Mint loves making different quarters in recent times so I am not surprised at the difficulty.

You will not find 1922-1926 quarters as they were alll melted.
1947 Have a mple leave and a DOT variety.
1951 and 52 each have a high relief ("I" between denticles) and a low relief (I points to denticles)
1953 has a Shoulder Fold and No SF variety
1973 has a Small Bead and very rare Large Bead variety
1978 Has a Large Denticle and Small variety

On to 1992: There is a Caribou Quarter for 1992 but it was not issued for circulation (sold in sets).
1992 has 12 quarters (1 for each province and territory at the time)

1999 is another 12-quarter year (1 for each month)
2000 is another 12-quarter year (1 for each month)

2001 has a no mint mark Quarter and a mint mark P variety
2002 has a Caribou and a 'Canada Day' variety
2003 has a crowned and uncrowned variety
2004 - caribou, 'first settlement', poppy
2005 - caribou, Alberta, Saskatchewan, vetran
2006 - caribou (no mark), breat cancer, caribou ( RCM logo)
2007 caribou, curling, ice hockey, biathlon, alpine skiing, wheelchair curling
2008 caribou, remembrance day, snowboarding, freestyle skiing, figure skating. bobsleigh
2009 caribou, speed skating, cross country skiing, ice sledge hockey, regular hockey (non color), regular hockey (color-raised 2), regular hockey (color-engraved 2), womens hockey, Cindy Klassen

*for the 2007-2009 Olympic Sports there is a colour and non-colour version

Dont forget the low mintage 1991 quarter getting more difficult to find as years go's on.
mintage of 459,000 compared with millions in other years.

Good luck !

Since I want this to be a type set and not a date /mint mark set, I am still a little confused on the post 2000 issues. Are both 2001 issues different from prior years? Is the 2002 Caribou different? Are the 2003 crowned and uncrowned that year only?

For 2003, you will find crowned and uncrowned portraits of Her Majesty.

Yes, but are they one year only issues, or one portrait up to and including 2003, then new prtrait 2003 and newer? Again, I am trying for a type set, not one of each issue, just one of each type.

This is what I currently am aiming for, but with some questons:

-1901 Victoria
1902-1909 Edward VII
1910 Edward VII
1911 Edward VII
1912-1919 George V
1920-1936 George V
1937-1947 George VI
1948-1952 George VI
1953-1964 Eliz II
1965-1966 .800 silver
1967 Centennial, .500 & .800 silver
1968 .500 silver
1973 RCMP
1968-1978 Nickel
1979-1989 Nickel, portrait change
1990-1998 Nickel, portrait change
1992 12 different provinces
1999 12 months
2000 12 different
2001-2003 P mint mark
2002 Canada Day
2002 Golden Jubilee
2003-200? New portrait
2004 Acadia
2004 Poppy
2005 Alberta
2005 Sask.
2005 Veterans
2006 Pink Ribbon
2006 Bravery
2006-200? RCM Logo
2007 5 different Olympics
2008 Poppy
2008 4 different Olympics
2009 5 different Olympics

Also 2009, 3 colored Olympics?

What am I missing? (Not minor varieties)

2003...this is the only year there were two different portraits. Then from 2004 to current, they are all uncrowned. Hope that makes more sense.

Not really. For a type set I don't care how many were issued in 2003 if they are the same as other years. If one portrait is the same as the 2002 coin and one the same as the 2004 coin, that's the information I need.

Again, are the 2006 obverses unique, or is the RCM logo 2006, 2007, 2008, etc and the 2006 P the same as the 2003 P? I only want one of each type, so if a coin is the same from 2003 to 2006 except for date, I don't need to know that there were two different ones in 2006, as long as I have one from any of the years it was made. What I am trying to find out is if I am missing any types, not years.

If you're going for a type set, all you really need is:
-Victoria
-Edward VII
-George V
-George VI ET:IND:IMP
-George VI
-QE2 laurel (1953)
-QE2 tiara (1965)
-QE2 tiara, modified (1979)
-QE2 diademed (1990)
-QE2 uncrowned (2003)

It seems odd to me that up until the QE2 era, you need only 5 coins for the type set, and in the QE2 era it balloons to almost 70 more.

JDFINDRING by your list I would say you are on the right track.I would add the 1936 dot and the 1947 maple leaf as these were changes to the dies intentionally made by the mint.Edwards are 1902H(Heaton mint), 1902-5(small crown),and 1906-10(large crown).1911(Godless)is GeoV.

DBM - Thanks. Checked Krause and I will add those two (which means I now have to also actually find some). Most of my confusion is the post 2000 issues. Do those look right? I realize there were two different metal compositions for 1967, but it seems impractical to tell them apart, so I am just collecting a single sample.

My suggestion to you is to buy a Charlton catalogue in addition to your Krause
