<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheBigH, post: 732629, member: 9866&quot;]Yes, Canadian PL coins were made for special sets. For years, Canada did not have a proof set (1981 was the first real proof set), so they issued what were officially known as mint sets, but most collectors just call them prooflike sets. They were issued in cardboard holders from 1954 through 1960, and then pliofilm starting in 1961, just like our older proof sets. Specimen sets were also issued. They&#039;re actually amazingly cheap compared to older U.S. proof sets. They can usually be found for a couple of dollars above or below melt until you get into the &#039;50s, and some of the newer ones sell for as little $2.50 USD (keep in mind the the Canadian face value is $1.91). The reason the prooflike dollars are usually worth less than the uncirculated is because nearly all the PL dollars were saved in that exact condition. The business strike dollars, on the other hand, are often rare in high grades because many less of those were saved.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
