Picked up another rarity for my registry set.

I have been attempting to fill the 1953-2012 Canada Circulated 1 Cent Set for a while now. In this set, there are a number of modern rarities which makes this collection very difficult to complete. Included are the 1955 NSF (very few examples (250 or so), AU55 highest graded by NGC), the 1965 Pt5LgBds (MS65RD highest graded by NGC, very few examples), the 1985 Pt.5 (around 250k mintage), the 2006 No Logo Magnetic (1500 or so examples), and the 2010 Copper Plated Steel in Circulated condition (50-250 examples).

Well, I managed to add another key date coin, the 2010 Circulated Copper Plated Steel 1 Cent coin in MS67. This coin exists in PL or Uncirculated condition, but only VERY VERY few examples were minted in business strike (Circulated condition). The few that do exist, were trial strikes that calibrated the presses for the the Prooflike and Uncirculated issue sets. I am very happy to have added this coin, as I have been searching for it for almost 4 years, and I finally found it!!

Here is a photo, happy hunting!
