Canada. Offical Box/Certificate - 1987 - 6 Specimen (Prooflike) (No reserve price)

This pristine 1987 6-Coin Specimen Set represents a masterclass in Canadian numismatic history, offering collectors a chance to own a shimmering snapshot of the Royal Canadian Mint’s legendary craftsmanship. Housed in its original deep-green official presentation box, each coin boasts a sharp, "proof-like" finish characterized by brilliant, mirror-like fields and crisp, frosted relief that far exceeds the quality of standard circulation strikes.

Why This Set Stands Out
The centerpiece of this collection is the iconic 1987 "Loonie" dollar, which marked the very first year Canada introduced the eleven-sided gold-colored coin to replace the paper dollar bill. Seeing this historic coin in its original specimen state—unmarred by the wear and tear of trade—is a rare treat for any serious enthusiast. Surrounding the dollar are the 1-cent, 5-cent, 10-cent, 25-cent, and 50-cent denominations, all preserved in their protective transparent film to ensure they remain as flawless as the day they left the mint.

Highlights for the Collector
First-Year Issue: Features the inaugural 1987 Loonie in a premium finish.

Superior Strike: The specimen quality provides a level of detail and luster not found in pocket change.

Original Packaging: Includes the plush-lined official box and the certificate of authenticity, maintaining its long-term investment value.

Timeless Appeal: A perfect cornerstone for a "Year of Birth" gift or a specialized Canadian collection.

This set is more than just a collection of currency; it is a time capsule of 1980s elegance and a testament to Canada’s transition into a new era of coinage. Whether you are looking to bridge a gap in your Royal Canadian Mint collection or seeking a high-eye-appeal set for long-term appreciation, this 1987 Specimen Set is an absolute essential.
