<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 921310, member: 9474&quot;]I must say that our friends to the north have some crazy, but unique coins.&nbsp; Every now and then, a set goes on sale that I must have.&nbsp; Keep in mind that up to a few years ago, I absolutely refused to collect anything other than US coins, but now I am willing to keep an open mind.</p><p><br /></p><p>Two years ago, the Canadian Mint released a proof half dollar commemorating 100 years of coinage from the Ottawa mint and I had to buy it.&nbsp; It was so stunning.&nbsp; This set really compliments that coin.&nbsp; There were only 5000 sets minted and it sold out in a few days.&nbsp; I just got lucky and got one of the last orders because within 24 hours of my order they were listed as sold out.&nbsp; For those of you who would like a commemorative silver dollar can still buy them as there were 7500 total minted.&nbsp; 5000 for the set and 2500 to be sold separately.&nbsp; Also, the dollar, quarter, dime and nickel are all 92% sterling silver and the cent is 95% copper.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Wouldn&#039;t it be great if the US mint would create something like this.&nbsp; How neat would it be if the mint made a special commemorative proof set of Barber coins!!! That would be a must have!&nbsp; Or a seated liberty or bust liberty set.&nbsp; OMG!&nbsp; So I hope you enjoy my pics.&nbsp; The coins are stunning.&nbsp; Any specs that you may see are not on the coin, but rather on the plastic.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the dollar and quarter pics.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
