Test your knowledge.
What is wrong with the picture?
(Besides the ridiculous asking price)

The stamp was only on the 1960 sets.

@thedollarman, the cent is in the correct spot.

I'll go with the stamp as well. I recently sold a 58 and a 60. Either set sells well under $100 with cellophane and lower without.

Good job guys.
Most of you got it right and others were in the ballpark.
The RCM domicile appeared on the 1960 sets only.
There are 3 different versions of the Stamp.
Just shows why a buyer should be wary of purchasing one of these sets without the original cellophane.

PS
I informed the seller and he removed the "original packaging" but kept the asking price the same.

I also found it unusual that the seller only showed the reverse side of the coins

Very interesting. If what's sold as a pre 60 PL set cannot be determined as authentic, that's quite a markup compared to the cost of 6 individual coins of the same year.

Seems this listing might also be a example of good advice often mentioned by some of you. That is - don't buy just for the packaging ie grade), buy for the quality of the actual coins.
