Product Overview
Capture all of the first 20 years of Canada's highest-quality annual coin sets in this comprehensive 20-piece collection. In 1971, the Royal Canadian Mint introduced the first double-struck proof sets generally available to collectors. These are the absolute best quality coins and presentation produced by the Mint. The coins from each year from 1971 to 1990 are presented in the original black leather cases of issue. The 1971 and 1972 sets include two dollar coins struck in nickel, while the sets from 1973 to 1990 include a nickel dollar coin or loon dollar and a special commemorative silver dollar. This set collection includes the important first year of issue, the very low-mintage 1972 set (only 36,349 minted), and all other low-mintage and key-date coins through the entire first 20 years of issue. All of the sets in this collection are premium-quality sets that have been well-preserved and kept in excellent condition.
