1975 Canada $1 Calgary Centennial Silver Dollar – PCGS SP69 Specimen

CA$95.00

This 1975 Canada $1 Calgary Centennial Silver Dollar, certified PCGS SP69, is an exceptional near-perfect example of one of Canada’s most popular modern commemorative silver issues. Struck to Specimen (SP) standards by the Royal Canadian Mint, this coin displays superior strike quality, deeply mirrored fields, frosted devices, and outstanding overall eye appeal.

Issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the City of Calgary (1875–1975), the reverse features a dynamic rodeo rider design symbolizing Calgary’s western heritage and the world-famous Calgary Stampede. The intricate engraving and strong relief are beautifully showcased by the coin’s reflective surfaces and sharp detail.

The obverse bears the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, with crisp legends, flawless fields, and bold contrast typical of high-end Specimen strikes. Graded SP69 by PCGS, this coin sits just one point below perfection, making it highly desirable for advanced collectors and registry-set builders.

Struck in .500 fine silver, this dollar contains approximately 0.375 troy ounces of pure silver, providing solid intrinsic value in addition to its numismatic significance. Coins certified at the SP69 level are notably scarce and command strong premiums over lower-grade examples.

This is a premium modern Canadian commemorative—ideal for collectors of Canadian silver dollars, Calgary-themed memorabilia, or high-grade PCGS-certified coins.
