What's up plebs?!
It's been quite a while since the last time I posted a new piece of silver. I have gotten lots of new shit actually but other things got in the way.
Ok, let's see my most recent addition. A beautiful 1981 proof set from Canada that I received only yesterday! I really love these canadian sets, I think I have three or four at this point. I got all of them for really cheap prices and yet they feel like premium items.
This one, I got it for exactly 20 $ with postal included.
Let's first see it from the outside
Some notes here. The mapple is made of metal and we have real leather. Nice!
Ok let's open this bad boy:
Some beautiful and really shiny coins. As if they just came out of the mint :D
Let's see some close ups
Love all the animal coins! And that copper penny is just so sexy 🙂
And a photo of the COA
Now, as the COA informs us, only the coin dedicated to the trans-canada railway is made of silver. 23.3 g of 0.500 purity. So that's about 14$ worth of silver in the coin set.
But considering all the other goodies and the whole package I think for 20$ it was a steal.
What do you think?

this proof sets are nice! but they are so expensive!! You got a nice deal for sure!!! 20$ that with a half half silver ? xD
There's one on eBay for 21 euro! Dunno about the original price but I tend to get em for real cheap when I see them pop up in the places I hang around 😁
I learned that if you have some patience at ebay you can find good deals...things at least under the market price...but there are many things very over the price lol
For 20 bucks those are some nice looking coins and very well presented too.
Yeah, it feels like such a steal ! It looks even better from up close !

A couple years ago, I snagged a bunch of sets at a pawn shop for $13 CAD. The 1981 silver dollar is a very nice coin.
A beautiful date set! And you have a 50% silver dollar in the set, @trumpman !

Cool proof set. The Royal Canadian Mint does a nice job.

The older something is, the more important it is and the more beautiful it is.
a complete set is good and the condition is excellent
i like the train one, very detailed imho
