Historical Significance
1967 was the last year Canada struck a silver dollar for circulation, and partway through the year the Mint began striking some dimes and quarters in 50% silver. We haven't removed these coins to check which they are.
Why We Love This One
A centennial set with a little character from its toned 50 cents. A nice gift for anyone born in 1967.
