    Here's a small Silver Voyageur Dollar type set, mostly based on effigy and legend variations.

    1935 - 1966, Diameter: 36 mm, Thickness: 2.8 mm, Weight: +/- 23.33 g, Composition: 80% Silver / 20% Copper, Initials: (EH) Emanuel Hahn

    The 1972 Silver Voyageur Dollars have been added as a variation in the size of the effigy and the coin's 50% Silver / 50% Copper composition. The unique toning color and pattern on these coins are a direct result of the packaging, which exposes each coin to air, while its surface stays in direct contact with a porous sponge.

    I don't know anything about world coins but that's a really nice set.

    Thank you. All the really expensive years have been conveniently omitted.;) I have one more 1935 Voyageur Dollar to scan. It has very nice toning, but, happens to be in ICCS grading with a soft case and air pockets that make taking a nice photo difficult. I'll throw that in a bit later.
