<p>[QUOTE="ccg1, post: 1494755, member: 39298"]Canadian proof sets (and thus nickels) were first struck in 1981. The proof coins followed the circulation composition until 1995. Starting in 1996, they were struck in sterling until 2011. In 2012, the sterling silver proof sets were discontinued. They were replaced by a much pricer set in fine silver, and one of about the same price as before, in the original base metals. So... 1981: 1000 Ni 1982-1995: 750 Cu 250 Ni 1996-2011: 925 Ar 075 Cu 2012-: 1000 Ar 2012-: 1000 Ni[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
