I decided to purchase a ticket on this train on June 2, 2007! After seeing where this ride stopped and the coins it would pickup, this trip is for me!
This collection is becoming very enjoyable! I received four coins back from NGC today July 9, 2007! The 1981 Trans-Canada Railway reminds me of our transcontenial hook up here in Utah when the Central Pacific and Union Pacific met. The 1985 coin reminds me of Yellowstone Natl Park and the moose there. The 1989 reminds me of our Lewis & Clark. And the 1991 reminds of the traffic on the Mississippi River.
Some of the years in this series are starting to have smaller mintages. 1981 is the first time that Canada is producing seven coins in a proof set!
The 1981 silver dollar commemorates the centenary of the Act of Parilament which authorized the construction of the Trans-Canada railway.
