mrcruise Pillar of the Community Australia 552 Posts	Posted 07/06/2012 01:59 am There seems to be 2 different purple mint wallets for the 1977 mint set: The easiest way to distinguish is the "Royal Australia Mint" printed on wallet 1. Spread out across whole width of bottom 2. Font more tight and alligned to the right Does someone have any information as to why 2 different wallets exist Did RAM run out of wallets perhaps? Is one an aftermarket issue by 3rd party? Cheers Report this Post to the Staff

mrcruise Pillar of the Community Australia 552 Posts	Posted 07/06/2012 02:11 am I forgot to mention that wallet with writing spread out always seems in much much better condition than the one with writing to right which moreoften than not seems creased and warped Perhaps this was noticed and wallet replaced with full-width version Report this Post to the Staff

mrcruise Pillar of the Community Australia 552 Posts	Posted 07/06/2012 02:56 am Yes this can be easily missed - I myself only came across this when looking for a decent wallet If you look at the pics you posted you'll noticed ripples in bottom one which seems to be in all I've seen thusfar with the right aligned wallets. Look how good top wallet is as compared with bottom one Report this Post to the Staff
