The difference in these is the amount of care taken to finish each coin. Often, standard uncirculated coins come as they do off the press, like any coin that goes into circulation, but their finish is untarnished by human hands. These coins appear to collectors as they would to a bank just receiving a fresh shipment. Brilliant type coins are often struck twice on a numismatic press and receive a higher level of care during the finishing process. In 1949 the Royal Canadian Mint launched its numismatics department. Before the launch, collectors could order uncirculated sets directly from the Mint at face value plus postage. These sets' packaging was average. Furthermore, the coins did not possess a finer finish when compared to circulated coins as the Mint used the same dies and press. In 1954 the Royal Canadian Mint released seven thousand copies of its first uncirculated coin set for general public purchase. The Mint used this as a "test" to see if interest would grow. Slowly, the Mint increased the number of purchasable sets as demand increased. By 1962, the Mint produced hundreds of thousands of sets, all and sealed in pliofilm or polyester film. In 1981, the Mint branched out further and began releasing sets in different qualities (proof, specimen, and uncirculated). Before this, Mint sets tended to have a proof-like quality. As numismatic interest in colorful and beautiful Canadian coins grew, so did the Royal Canadian Mint's desire to create options. Quality control for proof coins increased. The Royal Canadian Mint states that each proof coin is hand-fed twice through a slow-striking press, hand-polished, and a die is never used for more than 3000 copies to maintain detail perfection. Before 2012, Mint Sets included one-cent coins (pennies). Toonies did not appear in Mint sets until after 1996 as they did not exist before this period. One-dollar coins have always appeared in Mint Sets, but “Loonies” did not appear until 1988. During years when the RCM released unique coins for circulation, Mint sets included these specimens. The Mint also changes its packaging frequently, which can significantly change the value of certain sets. Since a set is released every year, there are many for collectors to peruse! As always, if you are unhappy with the item you receive, you may return it for a full refund.
