[QUOTE="SPP Ottawa, post: 2579203, member: 39508"][ATTACH=full]559530[/ATTACH] I suppose this would be the grand daddy of them all (well, except for the crazy stuff that Mike Byers has for sale). I bought this off-metal strike earlier this year. It is a 1977 $100 gold coin struck on a nickel 50c planchet (it is magnetic). The planchet sizes are identical - but I suspect there was some mint workers at play, at the Royal Canadian Mint in 1977. This is the coin, as it was intended to be struck, proof struck, 22K gold. [ATTACH=full]559531[/ATTACH] It presents well inside a double slab from PCGS. [ATTACH=full]559532[/ATTACH] I guess it should not be too hard to find a gold 1977 $100 coin, in a PCGS MS-68 holder, and upgrade the set to a matching pair...:smuggrin:[/QUOTE]
