Uncirculated Set sold out! Includes the rare 50-cent coin! First uncirculated
set without the penny!
The Uncirculated Set continues a long tradition as the perfect
way to collect Canada's circulation coins from year-to-year. These shiny coins
are also an original keepsake to transform everyday achievements like the first
day of school or first job, into memorable milestones—keep them on hand for
life's unexpected victories!
Every coin that is minted in Canada is a work of art. Each
represents a fragment of the unique history and extraordinary geography of
Canada. The 2013 Uncirculated set, which contains the six denominations of
coins produced this year, is a striking collection of some of Canada's most
famous iconography.
Polar Bear: Canada's
bi-metallic two-dollar coin, launched in 1996, features a polar bear, one of
the world's largest terrestrial carnivores, which can weigh up to 650 kilograms
(1,430 pounds). It lives near the cold seas and frozen ice of Canada's
far-north.
Common Loon: Launched
in 1987, the reverse of the one-dollar coin represents a common loon swimming
against the rugged backdrop of the Canadian Shield. The loon's haunting calls
are one the quintessential sound of the Canadian wilderness in summer.
Canada's Coat of Arms: The
Canadian Coat of Arms, proclaimed in 1921 and modified in 1996, reminds
Canadians of their diverse heritage. It features images from France (the
fleur-de-lis), England (the three royal lions and rose), Scotland (a lion and
thistle) and Ireland (the Irish harp and shamrock).
Caribou: An
enduring symbol of the Canadian north, the majestically-antlered caribou has
remained a Canadian icon since first appearing on the twenty-five-cent piece in
1936.
Bluenose: In
1921, Atlantic Canadians built one of the finest racing and fishing vessels in
Canadian history, the Bluenose. Known for its speed, and almost unbeatable in a
race, the ship first appeared on the ten-cent piece in 1937.
Beaver: The
beaver is Canada's national animal. Highly sought after for its rich fur in the
17th and 18th centuries, it was the mainstay of the colonial economy for
centuries. Today, the beaver is revered as a symbol of hard work and
perseverance.
These uncirculated coins have been carefully selected to provide
you with the best examples of their kind. First uncirculated set without the
penny!

“Unsearched” — All of the coins offered in this listing are “unsearched”. Many coin dealers “search” all coins when they are received from the Mint. They "cherry-pick" the best coins. Then submit them to be graded, certified, and slabbed by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc. These graded and certified coins are then sold at higher, premium prices. When a dealer searches coins, those that they sell in original Mint packaging are only lesser quality coins.
Photos: When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed. Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered.
Our goal is to provide clear, high definition photos that accurately represent the coin(s) offered in each of our eBay listings. Whenever possible, we use actual photos of our coins, rather than just stock artwork from the Mint. We frequently update and upgrade the photos that appear with our listings, using improved cameras and lenses and better lighting. We will honor your requests for additional photos as quickly as our schedule permits.
