<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheBigH, post: 733594, member: 9866&quot;]Just imagine the PL sets as if they&#039;re U.S. proof sets. Hundreds of thousands of PL sets were sold to collectors both in Canada and the United States. In those days, most collectors would be happy owning just one example of each denomination for each year. They would buy the PL set, and then not even worry about picking lesser coins from bank rolls or pocket change. Add that to the fact that dollar coins weren&#039;t really very popular in Canada either, and you have your answer. We didn&#039;t have a dollar coin from 1935 to 1971, so this didn&#039;t happen in the U.S. The number of proof sets minted in the early days (1936, for instance) are far outnumbered by the amount of coins saved from pocket change, so the proof half dollar would be worth more than the uncirculated (unless the uncirculated was MS69 or something). In Canada, it was just the opposite.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
