Sap Moderator Australia 16875 Posts	Posted 01/02/2007 9:16 pm It looks like a typical set made for collectors by one of the larger coin dealers at the height of the world coin craze in the 1960's and early 1970's - is that about when the coins date from? I can't see any indication of manufacturer; what's the little red symbol in the top left corner? Another giveaway that it's not an official set would be the dates - are the coins all of the same date? I don't see any date mentioned on the packaging itself - just that it's a "Type set". The dealers rarely went to the trouble of making up sets with matching dates. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
rosso_rubino Valued Member Italy 244 Posts	Posted 01/03/2007 12:38 pm Thanks Thekidcollector and Sap, about the date 4 coins are 1965, 1 is 1963, 1 is 1962 and 1 is 1966, and as you said Sap, probably also different dates are not so usual in an official mint set. The simbol on the top left is an "A" in a circle of leaf simbols. Report this Post to the Staff
