Description Montreal Olympic Proof Set, 1976, Series 5 with Certificate of Authenticity, serial number 1!!! Series 5 has certificate #N000001 in original leather and wood case of issue and in Gem proof condition.How could these sets have survived all together for over 30 years?! They were sold in a 1976 Paramount auction all together and remained together ever since. It was most likely that they were meant as a presentation to the head of the Canadian Olympic committee or the president of the IOC at the time. Unfortunately, Series 1 and 2 were not saved also, to make a complete set. Still, this is a unique opportunity to purchase the first sets issued of each of the last five Proof series in an Olympic year.As the COA's are the most important, I will ship these separately to the winning buyer.(Shipping costs: $2 for North America, $4 overseas; $10 for Express Post in Canada; $13 to the U.S.; $18 for Registered Mail internationally; will combine multiple lots in shipping charges, depending on weight and dimensions) (All items guaranteed genuine, unless otherwise specified. Fourteen-day return privilege if not satisfied.
