1964 Canada Select Gem Uncirculated Proof-Like Set in Mahogany Finish Wood Display Cases

Description

The 1964 Canada Select Gem Uncirculated Proof‑Like Set is a premium presentation of the Royal Canadian Mint’s standard 1964 uncirculated proof‑like coins, featuring brilliant, mirror‑like finishes and classic Canadian designs. This set commemorates the 100th anniversary of the 1864 Charlottetown and Quebec City meetings, which laid the groundwork for Confederation in 1867. While the Royal Canadian Mint originally issued the set sealed in pliofilm within an envelope, select collector versions have been presented in an elegant mahogany finish wood display case for enhanced display appeal.
