The 1965 Canada 6-Coin Silver Prooflike Set is a classic mid-century Canadian mint set that combines beautiful prooflike presentation with substantial silver content.

About the Royal Canadian Mint & Prooflike Sets

The Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) has a long history of producing coins and collector products known for quality, consistency, and strong visual appeal. In the era of classic prooflike sets, the Mint offered carefully selected circulation designs struck with polished dies to create noticeably reflective fields and sharper details than standard business strikes.

Canadian prooflike sets are collected for their period charm and their snapshot of Canadian coinage from a specific year—capturing both design heritage and the Mint’s presentation standards at the time.

Set Contents (6 Coins)

This 1965 prooflike set includes the following Canadian denominations:

• 1 Cent (bronze)
• 5 Cents (nickel)
• 10 Cents (silver)
• 25 Cents (silver)
• 50 Cents (silver)
• 1 Dollar (silver)

In 1965, the 10 cents through $1 coins in these sets are commonly noted as 0.800 fine silver, contributing to the set’s 1.11 ASW total.

Design & Historical Appeal

The coins in this set feature the classic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II used on Canadian circulating coinage of the period, along with iconic reverses that define vintage Canada sets—particularly the larger silver denominations, which are widely collected for their artistry and history.

Because prooflike sets were assembled to showcase especially attractive strikes, many examples display strong reflectivity and crisp details that make them standout pieces for both newer collectors and long-time Canadian set builders.

Silver Content (ASW)

This set contains 1.11 oz of Actual Silver Weight (ASW) in total. APMEX
ASW is a helpful measurement for buyers because it reflects the real silver content in the set (not the gross coin weight). This makes the 1965 prooflike set a practical way to add government-issued vintage silver to a portfolio while still enjoying the collectible premium associated with original mint sets.
