Uncirculated Sets 1967 - 1990ish
1967 sets with folder
1967 folders 1.
Inside the foler with information on old and new coins - notice the bent over lip on right used to hold the coin pocket
In addition to buying the special dollar coins loose, you could also buy a set of coins with the Dollar. This was a good way to get an uncirculated example of each year's coin and also for thsoe dates where circulation coins were not issued for some denominations.
This post is on Uncirculated or Standard Grade sets, I will discuss the Polished/Proof sets in another post.
As you can see in the photos above, these sets had the pink label on them and were the cheaper grade often sold at twice to thrice face value of the coins in the early days, but reaching $20 or $30 by the 1980s. There were several phases of these sets and early ones are often damaged.
In 1967 and 1968, the sets were issued in the Blue folders you see above. 1967 saw a huge issue of 250k pink sets and all went out in these folders. The Pliofilm packet was lower quality and most are stained as you can see in my photos.
The coins were standard coins, that were dropped in the buckets and taken into sets, unlike 1965, the 1967 coins were issued in huge numbers (Between 120 and 10 million each) and most are very ordinary. The packets and coins were sealed in the UK, but the cardboard packets were made and printed in New Zealand for distribution.
1968 sets pink and blue, the same low quality "Pliofilm" was used for both grades and same wallet!
1968 saw no dollar and poor marketing meant the sets were merely reissued in the 1967 wallets. Only 40 k were made and these were higher quality as none of the coins were for circulation.
Usually the 1c and 2c are toned and tarnished because of the PVC laden Pliofilm and the photos show sets I bought in and sold on, my personal coins are all liberated or rare fault free examples.
Next 1969 onwards.
