<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dollar1948, post: 782197, member: 17239&quot;]Thats interesting to read. I have a complete set of Canadian proof sets 1960 to date (not all the varieties mind you), and not one of them has toned up like that.I guess thats where the environmental conditions come into play as suggested by Desert Gem.</p><p>Perhaps these coins previous owners lived beside an active volcano, Key West, or in any other humid place like Atlanta in the summertime.</p><p>It seems that over time the Canadian mint changed the composition of the cellophane that they used on these sets. From a thin &#039;crackly&#039; type material to a much thicker, rigid type material that doesn&#039;t make a noise if you try to crease it. I wonder why they did this, for this same issue? Who knows.</p><p>Hey State..As far as my avatar with a 1948 Canadian silver dollar? I dont own one yet, tho I got a complete set of all the Canadian Silver dollars and the commeratives 1935 to date. I could have picked up a VF for $1200, a couple of years back buy Im saving and holding out for a better grade. </p><p>Thanks for everyones contributions thus far.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
