Enyaw Valued Member Canada 458 Posts	Posted 05/12/2026 09:27 am I picked up this 1953 Pliofilm coin set recently and I was wondering if there was a third party making these older sets in Pliofilm back in the day? It was in a bundle of 1961 to 1967 sets in yellow envelopes. Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 05/12/2026 4:33 pm Nice set of NSF coins. Not a PL set. Definitely third party, not RCM. Who packaged them and when I don't know. I have a 1960 set in similar packaging. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21584 Posts	Posted 05/12/2026 7:11 pm I have a 1958 set with the same packaging. The RCM didn't issue this packaging until 1961 and this earlier packaging is the same layout as the RCM packaging. This leaves me to believe these were packaged sometime after 1961.

Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5392 Posts	Posted 05/12/2026 8:40 pm Probably put together by COTY ( Coins of the Year club) a company in Punnichy Saskatchewan back in the Day . The company used this format as well as others in Black pages with sliding acetate covers . They were quite successful back in the 1950s up to the late 1960s . Company was formed by Wilfred Latta and he ceased operating before 1972 selling the operation to the Saskatoon Coin Company . The company was later acquired by noted numismatic personality Kelly Wionzek . Edited by Pacificoin 05/12/2026 8:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
