There are over 45 coins in this collection; (I will throw in a few surprise extras) they are either proof and or specimen depending on what the Royal Canadian mint had struck during a given year. It has taken me well over to 4 years to build this collection one coin at a time. Some of the highlights of this collection are as follows: 1987 – 1997 10th Anniversary Silver Dollar (a highly sought after, very valuable coin) numbered C/W C.O.A., this is of low mintage, only 25,000 were struck. 2002 – Anniversary $5.00 Holographic Loon numbered C/W C.O.A., again of low mintage, only 30,000 were struck. 2004 – Silver Lucky Loon, colorized2 - 2005 Terry Fox commemorative’s, these coin’s are neither Proof nor Specimen for they are not available in either grade. Both come from a roll therefore considered as next to uncirculated. One of which is the Rare “No-Grass” error. 2006 – Silver Lucky Loon, colorized 2006 – Silver Lullabies Loon 2006 – Lucky Loonie (specimen “Celebrate the Legend” bookmark) 2007 – Silver Loon 2008 – Silver LoonAlthough this collection is primarily dedicated to the Canadian Loon/ Loonie Dollars depicting Loons on the reverse, this set also includes the following:1992 - 125th Anniversary of Canada (proof)1994 - Remembrance (proof)1995 - Peacekeeping (proof)2002 - 15th Anniversary Loon (specimen)2004 - Canada Goose (specimen)2004 - Elusive Loon (specimen)2005 - Tufter Puffin (specimen)2006 - Snowy Owl (specimen)2007 - Trumpeter Swan (specimen)2008 - Common Eider (specimen)From what I understand, there are very few if any complete collections like this. I do not know of anyone who owns a set like it making this a very rare and unique opportunity for a serious collector, to purchase an entire collection like this in one shot.  It is very difficult, costly and time consuming to  build a collection like this!
