Harmonica Pillar of the Community Canada 1118 Posts	Posted 04/04/2015 3:54 pm I was looking for a 1960 un-circulated set on ebay but could only find them in a white card bard stock covered in plastic. After an ebay search for 1661 un-circulated set I found plenty of examples of coins in a brown envelope. Did the brown envelope thing start in '61 or are older examples really rare?

thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 04/04/2015 8:17 pm wait a minute, thinking back my lcs had a few singles from '63 and '64. they were in slightly larger but from the mint pliofilm packets and weren't cut out of pl sets.

Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5405 Posts	Posted 04/04/2015 8:17 pm Actually the 1962 dollars came both ways. Report this Post to the Staff
wireman09 Pillar of the Community Canada 972 Posts	Posted 04/04/2015 8:51 pm Possibly the 1962 PL dollars came both ways, I just have never seen any cellophane wrapped 1962. I do know some came in pliofilm. Report this Post to the Staff
Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5405 Posts	Posted 04/04/2015 9:01 pm I bought an original boxed lot of 25 single 1962 dollars in cello at Long Beach in the mid 1980s. Report this Post to the Staff
wireman09 Pillar of the Community Canada 972 Posts	Posted 04/04/2015 9:25 pm That could very well be true because I have only ever seen two other than mine 1962 Plioflim issued 1962 PL dollars. That would tell me the majority of 1962 PL dollars were probably cellophane issue as the pliofilm issued are from what I have seen scarce. Report this Post to the Staff
