The Canadian Centennial type set is one of my favorite modern type sets.

Please post any coins you have here.

That toning is very pleasing to the eyes. Did it tone while in your collection? Peace Roy

I adore this set and just shot a raw set that I own last night. Here is an especially colorful quarter-

These sets tone nicely from the original packaging.

Thanks! It was toned when I purchased it. I don't think anything has ever toned while in my collection, even coins in PCI holders which are known to keep toning.

Just ran across this gorgeous coin from @giorgio11 on CoinCommuniity.com! Not sure if it's been posted to these forums.

Very nice attractive coins and a super series. Unfortunately they made way tooooooo many.
the 67 series best toners, actually incredible toners, I have found on customized sets issued by some credit unions and banks. these were in a metal enclosure and had a lot of that "red" poison stuff in the boxes. However, acetone usually removed all the red stuff without a trace of any damage. Years ago I had such a super set and a Hong Kong buyer paid USD 250 for it in an unsolicited offer.
A fairly substantiated rumor has it that there are just a handful errors around with small beads on the obverse. similar to the 1966 SB dollar. the other error is the diving goode, where the goose is at least diving at 45 degrees from flight level.
then there are a few "mint ordered" erros.
will post images later.

are u aware that there is also a die rotated diving cougar?
it is diving at about 20-25 degrees or so. However, there seem to be quite a few around.

thank you,
my coin is NGC cert PL 64.
BTW, the 50 cent piece is also around double struck.
Imagine, a wolf head up extended howling and double struck.
I missed it when I bought the $. another person paid more.
i come across these errors at times and i buy them if the $$$ are right, even they are outside my collection interest.

I remember getting these in change while growing up in WA state. I bought the $20 for bullion back when gold was about $1000.
