The 1967 Centennial of Confederation Commemorative Silver Dollar and Coin year set

Thanks for the long time support @ssg-community

The 1967 Canada set is best kept as a set from a collectors point of view, from a Stacking point of view not as important. I should be wearing cotton gloves in handling Uncirculated coins.

Thanks for coming aboard @emeka4

It is indeed 🪙 🙌

Not an impressive bird but they had to put something on the One Dollar.
The Canadian Geographic organization recommended the Grey Jay aka Whiskey Jack as their choice.
There was a controversial diving goose, an alleged rotated die error, that was finally deemed as an intentional error by an enterprising mint press operator. Regardless of that 'Ruling' the Diving goose is worth about $500 proof.

Thanks for dropping in @silverd510

Thanks for your support @india-leo

Some Canadian coins I collect for their individual subject appeal, this 1967 is best collected as a set for the context of the special occasion and it and many other coins was passed on to me from my father.

It's summer time.
Great to know that you're still around ever since I was a little fish.

The Mint may have decided to keep it simple.
After all, a country's currency is a vehicle to express it's culture and image of expansive natural landscapes and unique wildlife. Since then, the Mint has made hundreds of coins of Canada's wildlife.

Thanks for the visit @littlebee4

This 1967 set does stand out from my other 1960s sets.
Canada prides itself on her rich wildlife and natural resources.
Thumbing through Numista Canada there are hundreds and hundreds of coins depicting our wildlife, and I lost count on how many coins depicting the Polar bear alone.

Thanks for the Comment @olympicdragon

It was the 60's.
The Bank of Canada was 32 years old back then.
Canada was a young country building an image of her own.
They kept the coin designs simple.

Thanks for the visit @temileke

It's not bad Sair, t' goos was a wee bit fatty an gamey an will satisfy a hungry crew served wit taters an nibs. 😉😋

A pleasure t 'ave yea aboard @joshuaslane

There is however an error variety caused by a rotated die called the Diving Goose. I'll let you know if a rising Goose ever shows up. The error variety was deemed intentional with the current value around $500 for this error variety. 😉

And beyond @urun

An excellent question! @bitcoinman
You will need a weight scale.
So, here's an example.

The nominal weight of the 1967 80% silver 10 cents is 2.33g
The nominal weight of the 1967 50% silver 10 Cents is 2.18g
My specimen 10 cent coin was circulated weighting in at 2.28g, wear 0.05g
My relevant post back on Mar 24, 2020.
Therefore, the coin is an 80% silver variety with a little wear.

!PIMP

Never overestimate government decision making.
Thanks for loaning me this banknote @punkysdad

The turkey 🦃 was almost the USA national bird. It that stuck I guess we’d be eating eagles 🦅 on thanksgiving day. That just sounds so wrong…

The goose is rather a boring bird to put a cap on the Circulating commemorative Silver dollar collection. But now everyone who looks up and watches a V formation of these geese fly by and think...CANADA!
Maybe it's better than seeing a Grizzly Bear and think CANADA when you should be running for your life. 😂

So be safe and watch out for bears @elizabethbit

The 1967 Coin set is priced not much different than the subsequent 1966, 65, 64, etc. years as a lot of pliofilm sets where produced. My 1967 set was put together by my Father in this Uni plastic coin set holder. I think it was because most of the sets were bought out by coin dealers by the time the public had a crack at them.

Thanks for commenting @silvertop

Thanks for the service @hivebuzz

I shall look forward to seeing the Canadian shiny @trumpman

"The goose is cooked" albeit slowly with most Canadians thinking it being our National bird and unnecessarily protected to the point that they are overwhelming marsh refuges spilling over to public parks.

I had an ideal that the Trucker Protest could take on a different tack. Protesters could protest en mass in front of the Parliament in Canada Goose costumes, honk bicycle horns, and leaving vast quantities of doo doo behind. Can't get more as Canadian than that.

I thank my father for passing this coin set to me.
And I feel close to him having carried on his collection and legacy.

This silver coinage has been technically demonetized and default to their fiat designated face value only if you so choose to do so at a loss. I have traded with silver before on a trial basis for other coins or products based on the commodity value of the coin.
When my fiat currency hyper-inflates to worthlessness, the public will need a transitional currency and that is where I can use these old silver coins until a new economic model is established, I don't expect many people and businesses will have Crypto wallets.
