Sure seems to be a lot of fanfare for nothing. PCGS hypes the Belzberg set, and comes up with 132 categories of collecting sets to register, but the Belzberg collection only registers in 36 categories. Here's to hoping that there are enough Canadien collectors to justify the resources that went into this.
Stewart when were you there? I was there Saturday and met BJ also, very nice Lady. She said she still has alot more work to do on the Canadian registry and needs to add quite a few more Blezberg sets in. I just hope she does so soon so she can finally put up the Not Minted for Circulation Registry set.
From the toning, it looks like this dollar is from a Specimen Set. I think PCGS groups the Specimen (in pseudo-leather book) and Prooflike (in pliofilm) sets together as Prooflike. If that's the case, this dollar would fall in Elizabeth II Dollars, Proof-Likes (1968 to date).
The foam used to hold the 1971 to 1973 specimen silver dollars in their cases helped tone them in awesome colors. The good thing is that they're CHEAP and look great.

Does anyone think that now the PCGS set registry is up and running people will start cross grading their ICCS coins into PCGS holders
I met BJ Searles at the Interrnational show and she told me she would like to start a personal Canadian type set
