Canada 2007 75 dollars KM-749
This specimen was lot 23304 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (Newport Beach, CA, January 2021), where it sold for $432. The catalog description[1] noted, "CANADA. 75 Dollars, 2007. BRILLIANT PROOF. Features a colorized image of a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on horseback. An attractive Proof with mirrored fields and frosty devices. Sold with original display case and certificate of authenticity #1288/8000." The profits extracted from the manufacture and sale of NCLT's caused the Royal Canadian Mint to scramble for ever more arcane topics, including this one honoring the Mounties and the Vancouver Olympics. We leave the reader to decide the relevance of the design to the topic. Eight thousand were authorized but not all sold.
