<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SPP Ottawa, post: 1611167, member: 39508&quot;]Hard to compete with proof toned cents, but here goes. This is a short series (1968-1986), of 15.5 grams of pure nickel Canadian business strike dollar coins. Low mintages, weak strikes and lack of love over the years for this series relegated most to the junk bucket, creating grade rarities, especially for some years plagued by strikes so weak, that the eye-appeal takes a beating on the grading (pure nickel is not pretty weakly struck). This has been a labour of love for me, some of the coins cost me only face value. I still think this series is a sleeper, representing the last of the voyageur series.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would have the number one set, except I don&#039;t want to cough up $8K for an error coin that seems to be part of the registry. I just upgraded 7 coins, which represents a two-year cycle of hunting, so pictures for those will be forthcoming.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/alltimeset.aspx?s=82059" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/alltimeset.aspx?s=82059" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/alltimeset.aspx?s=82059</a></p><p><br /></p><p><u>edit:</u> I just realized this was in a US Coin thread - I didn&#039;t see that before, because I just clicked on the link in the recent topics window. If you want me to move this to a world coin thread, please let me know. --SPP[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
