 JimmyD...COTY did repack some real 1958 prooflike sets into pliofilm in the 1980's. They look very similiar to the RCM issued 1961-67 sets. Check the pliofilm closely for any COTY markings and if you find any they will be a real 1958 PL set.  |

@dollarman...COTY was a coin club and dealer in Saskatchewan. If my memory is correct they were in Saskatoon. They repacked real PL sets in pliofilm so they would be preserved. Usually there was COTY embossed in the pliofilm of there repacks. |

Wireman-
After checking the packaging with my glass,there
is no reference to COTY but it does have "uncirculated" embossed on it.
Have to decide know whether to keep them in its package or use them as single prooflike coins.

could also be a privately packed giftware set, made to resemble a later PL set.

Jimmy...1958 PL coins are easily distinquished from business strike uncirculated coins. The easiest way to tell would be from pictures. |

Decided to send these not so great pictures until I can upgrade my camera. Their not perfect but will give an idea of the packaging. The word "uncirculated" appears below the silver dollar   |

Yep, the cello wrapper style mint sets are used in the silver PL sets from 1961 to 67. I am also almost exclusively a canadian silver dollar collector, let me know if you have any questions! twoplustwo - big poker player? |

1958 in cellophane?!
I thought that didn't occur until 1961.

It's aftermarket packaging, not a Mint issue. PL and uncirculated sets were THE hot items in the coin boom of the '60s.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...
