Yah, although I primarily collect ancient-coins during these last few/several years, I have always collected Canadian banknotes and 25 cent pieces ... => Oh my => and the new 2015 coins have arrived .... I usually buy the specimen and proof sets for every year, but this year I am saving my coin-cash for ancients (I know, it's very sad) ... anyway ... => here are today's coin-purchases ... Finish: Specimen Mintage: 30,000 Composition: Three-ply nickel finish plated steel I Finish: Proof Mintage: 20,000 Composition: 99.99% pure silver ... I have shaved-off a couple of hundred bucks by merely purchasing the 25 cent pieces rather than the entire sets (hey, don't judge me, my awesome world coin-brothers)
