Coins > North America > Canada > Proof Sets

They just had to make me wrong this year

"A FIRST! A proof fine silver dollar coin "

http://www.mint.ca/

Prior to this year they didn't make proof coins

I don't think this justifies a whole catagory for them

Maybe what I have got to list doesn't justify a category.

Right now, I'm looking at about 2 dozen proof sets from 1978 to 1990.

In fact, I ordered them from the Mint for my parents because they collected them.

I'm also looking in my coin book and lo and behold, they are classified as "proof sets".

So I beg to differ.

But if Gazza doesn't think that a category is warranted, then that is fine.

Just thought I'd ask.

Purchasing those coin sets from the Mint yourself removes "the shadow of doubt" as to what you are dealing with. Twenty-four consecutive proof sets seems to warrant a category. Particularly if Canada has made actual proof sets in a defined set of years. It is a specialty grouping.

The 1975 Canada Silver $5 Coin is a "proof coin".

Thanks for your help again, Burgyeb.

I'm trying to learn. The next one that I'm looking at listing is 1980 and that one is a double dollar "proof like set". And I found a couple of specimen sets.

Maybe
Coins > North America > Canada > Sets

I'd just like somewhere to put these sets instead of just "Other".

Gazza, I notice that you are working on categories. I wonder if you would consider

Coins > North America > Canada > Sets

I've sold most of the sets that I've listed and I have quite a few more to list.

Thanks,
:-)
