[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 2985485, member: 13307"]I'm not even going to take credit for buying this set and getting a good deal...bought it for just above melt a few years ago (from a coin shop) completely by accident. [I][B]Completely by accident.[/B][/I] Put it aside almost completely by accident (just thought the coins looked "nicer than normal." Kept it out of the auction pile because, thankfully, I had other coins to sell that I didn't care about. Totally forgot I had it until tonight when I just got the urge to poke through an airtite box where I have a few world proof/mint sets stored. What's different now? Well, now I know that Canada produced low-mintage proof like sets going back to 1954 (Why? Because I also accidentally picked up a 1958 PL set last year for melt and figured out what it was later.) Here's my favorite new set: [CENTER][B]Canada - 1956 PL set[/B] (6,500 produced) In what I assume is the original cardboard holder. All except the cent would probably grade at least cameo and the half, quarter, and dime are nicely toned. Will work on getting individual shots at some point (the scans don't do them justice at all but are quick.) [ATTACH=full]735330[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]735329[/ATTACH] [/CENTER][/QUOTE]
