Actually, Gary's got some GB Crowns. I remember him putting up pictures a fair while back. I'll have a look 'round & see if I can find the thread.

Did you mean 1959 was $45.00 1969 sets can be got for less than 5 dollars.

So...if it was the 1959, is $45.00 a good price to pay or too much?

Thanks,

It looks like the cellophane is peeling away, which was a common complaint with the early PL sets.You might want to put something around
that to inhibit patina.


What should I use in it's place?

Often people transfer these tattered PL sets to date set holders, but I'm not sure if that affects value at all.
I don't have any sets this old, so I haven't researched a solution.

Value for the 1959 set if it was of the same type as the 1960 would be $80.00 using the same reference as I did in the previous post. From the picture the 1960 set is in the original RCM packaging,as long as the packaging isn't damaged enough so that the coins could be easily replaced,I don't think the value is affected.Transferring the coins to a date set holder would decrease their value.

bromac,
Yes it was in the same packing as the 1960 I purchased.

I enjoy Canadian coins myself and have kind of gotten away from older US coins...prices are getting too high for me. I have had fun taking Whitmans on trips to Canada as well as going through foreign boxes at shows and shops in the US. Flea Markets are also a good place to find Canadian coins for a decent price. Do your research and learn what common coins cost and you will be well armed. You may even stumble across Canadian silver being sold for much less than melt prices, just lear the silver contents of dimes,quarters, and halves. Have fun.
