Reviews
The last year of the penny
5
I bought this for my kids, and nieces so that they could have a mint condition penny to remember the fact that Canada did once use the penny as currency. My father collected coins and I'm not as into it as him but I thought it would be a great momento for them from me.....part of their past that will never come back.....the retirement of the penny.

tarnished coin

Great service, fair price. Only downside is that the dollar coin was tarnished in the package. It is not worth spending the extra postage and time returning it. I would say that perhaps your quality control people should pay more attention to their jobs. I will order again, but if I receive another tarnished product, I will be done.

The set is nice overall, but I am not too crazy about the faces in the maple leaf design on the quarter. They look a bit wierd and creepy.

I like the presentations or special 25 cent coins but to buy all the sets is expensive for one coin the remaining coins are duplicates to me. the unc sets are to keep a complete collection of coins, in California their just isn't any supply to maintain a complete set any other way. thanks for asking

When my children and niece were born I wanted to start them with a collection so the collection of choice were coin sets, each year a set is purchased for each of them. I love the coin sets as they are simple, provide some history, and will be something they can look back on.
