This is the highest quality complete set of Canadian coins from the 5 cent to the $2 coin, all double struck with a near flawless frosted cameo proof finish.  Unlike regular issue coins, all seven coins in this 2014 Proof Set are struck in 99.99% fine silver.  The large silver dollar is also selectively layered with 24 karat gold, while the loon dollar is fully gold plated and the centre of the $2 coin is gold plated.  Denominations include the 5 cent, 10 cent, 25 cent, 50 cent, Loon Style dollar, proof dollar and 2 dollar coins. The coins are displayed in a genuine leather display book, together with a numbered certificate of authenticity.

Building planes also meant testing them and pushing their limits. In 1942, 431 Bomber Squadron was formed and flew many successful missions during the Second World War. Over the years, it has been disbanded and re-launched and is best known today as the Snowbirds. Their breathtaking maneuvers are world-renowned and seem a universe away from the tentative flight made by the Silver Dart a century ago.
