recollector Valued Member Canada 191 Posts	Posted 07/16/2024 7:03 pm I was wondering if the white cardboard holder for the coins had different versions. The one I see on ebay has typed " Royal Canadian Mint" and then the address below it in blue ink.Was there another version that had " Royal Canadian Mint" and then simply "OTTAWA CANADA' under it in black ink? No address Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 07/16/2024 7:45 pm There are no 1960 proof sets, only proof-like sets. There were three different white cardboard holders for these sets in 1960. Beware when buying pre-1961 PL sets the cellophane is very fragile, most sets have been tampered with. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5391 Posts	Posted 07/16/2024 9:58 pm DBM is totally correct . They used three different stampings on the holder as well as some not being stamped at all . Totally original intact sets are now quite elusive. I was lucky enough to purchase an unopened box of 20 1960 sets about 7 years ago from a US dealer in WA state . When I cracked the box the sets were individually separated by a sheet of paper towel ! Numerous coins had developed pleasing toning . Also knew of a wooden box containing 100 sets that was shipped from the Mint in 1960 . I am fairly certain that ended up with the late Chuck Moore ? Report this Post to the Staff

Sharks Pillar of the Community Canada 1759 Posts	Posted 07/17/2024 2:06 pm @recollector - To attempt to answer your question: From site https://www.colonialacres.com From this image (stamp 2) the wording "OTTAWA CANADA" appears to be in black ink. Charlton - Canadian Collector Coins Vol. 2, 11th edition, 2022: "In 1960 the white cardboard holders appeared with a Royal Canadian Mint domicile. Four varieties of stamps exit" It does not indicate colour of ink used. Edited by Sharks 07/17/2024 2:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
