Exclamation 1963 CFL coin collectors?

Are there many(any?) 1963 CFL coin (Humpty Dumpty/Krun-Chee/Nalley's/Hunter's) collectors on this board?





I completed a 160 coin set of these circa 1999 but I broke it up into two separate sets a few years ago. I'm now still working at completing a set with English only backs and a set with bilingual backs. My Want List:

1963 CFL Coins English backs

11 13 20 32 39 51 53 76 78 79 97 114 119 131 133

1963 CFL Coins Bilingual backs

8 14 17 28 35 55 60 82 83 87 101 107 109 112 113 114 115 116 119 120 124 132 135 137 138 140 141 143 146 147 151 152 153 155 156 160

I have about 160 traders including ten short prints.

I still remember the excitement I felt in August of 1963 when I saw that the Krun-Chee Potato Chips at the News Depot on Dundas Street in downtown London (a regular haunt of mine on Saturdays) had CFL coins free inside! I wondered how long they'd been out since Krun-Chee Potato Chips weren't sold in too many London area stores. A few days later I was happy to discover (and a bit confused as well) that the Humpty Dumpty Potato Chips (also uncommon at the time) at Ken's Variety on Wharncliffe Road just a few blocks away from my house also contained these coins. I also remember pulling another one of these coins out of a bag of chips (I can't remember which brand) a week or so later on a family train trip to Toronto to visit relatives and take in the Canadian National Exhibition.



(Not mine.)

The real problem I had at the time though was that I was also buying DC superhero comics and my buddy Anthony and I had earlier that summer embarked on a mission of collecting all bubble gum cards. (Quantity not condition was our focus.) I couldn't finance all those collecting activities at the same time so I didn't get too far with the 160 coin CFL set.

As a result, these 1963 CFL coins carry a big dollop of nostalgia for me. Though this set is tough and rather expensive to complete these days, I managed the feat in 1999 or so. But because I like these coins so much, about twelve years ago I decided to break my set into two - English only backs and bilingual backs - just so I could continue collecting them. A very noble Canadian collecting venture if I do say so myself!

I've launched a more determined bid to complete both sets in the past couple of years. Here are scans of a few more from my collection:

Very strange! Here's the auction site decription of this lot:

"Scarce 1963 Nalley's Canadian Football League complete set of (160) coins. Although each circular treasure displays reverse mounting residue, the fronts are quite clean with vibrant player accents. Highlights include: #1 J. Parker, #13 Morris SP, #17 Patrick SP, #57 Sutherin, #59 Viti SP, #60 Mosca SP, #79 Learn SP, #80 Poliziani SP, #92 Gray, #100 Grant CO, #112 Volcan SP, #133 Jokanovich SP, #134 Keeling, #145 Kapp and #153 Bailey. Opening Bid $500."

It was virtually impossible for a kid to complete a set of these back in 1963 because only Humpty Dumpty Potato Chips made all 160 coins available. First of all that's a lot of ten cent chip bags to eat even over a four to five month time period. Secondly I'm not sure that Humpty Dumpty Potato Chips were even sold west of the Ontario-Manitoba border so kids in Western Canada would simply not have been able to complete a set regardless of how many Nalley's or Hunter's Potato Chips they bought.

Therefore the set being auctioned off must have been completed more recently by an adult collector. But why would an adult glue these coins to another surface? Talk about savaging the value of a collection he must have taken great trouble to complete!

It’s my set. I’ll ask them to post pictures of the backs. It the typical glue residue on the INSIDE, that was used when they manufactured these and stuck the picture inside the disc. I’m sure they’ll give you pictures of all the backs, if you’d like. Here’s what they meant. My set is similar. Good Luck.

That BMW listing of the set on Ebay is grotesquely overpriced and has been up for sale for over a dozen years.

Yes, but can't recall a full complete set with all the short prints being offered.
I have a breakdown of all the players and associated backs. I wonder if a "master" set is even possible.
