papeldog Pillar of the Community Canada 1923 Posts	Posted 11/26/2020 6:44 pm It looks like a mint issue, most are Mint State coins in theses packages by the mint is it a SF set? If so the 1 cent could be valuable if it makes a MS-65 Report this Post to the Staff
johnnysprawl Pillar of the Community Canada 1620 Posts	Posted 11/26/2020 7:11 pm 1953 sets can be made up of MS, PL, or SP strikes, or a combination thereof, but, as Papeldog said, mostly they are MS. We'll need better photos to make that call... Report this Post to the Staff
Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5394 Posts	Posted 11/26/2020 7:37 pm Looks like someone put that thing together . Circulated coins . Hope you have return privileges! The coins in these RCM 1953 Sets are usually quite attractive UNCs With some even being PL coins on occasion . Report this Post to the Staff
purelywasted Pillar of the Community Canada 1505 Posts	Posted 11/27/2020 1:37 pm Your eyes always impress me Pacific. You nailed it. 4 of 6 cleaned, 2-3 circulated. I still have lots to learn from pictures. I was not expecting SP/PL's, but needed a SF with waterlines. I think what bothers me most is that this is from a reputable auction house and it is the second time with them. Previously I bought a ungraded 1970 sp set with case, very nice coins, but all came back PL, thankfully they took them back, but I was still out the ICCS fees. This time, the packaging was done to make it look like a mint set. Buyer beware and another leraning experience for me. Report this Post to the Staff
Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5394 Posts	Posted 11/27/2020 2:27 pm These 1953 sets are always a conundrum . There is little doubt that the RCM had a numismatic department back in the late 1940s early 1950s . Personally I have handled Numerous examples of sets from 1949 to 1953 . The 1953 sets in Cardboard ( like the later official 1954 to 1960) are usually found with coins that will grade MS63 or better. Sometimes you get lucky and get a real Proof-like or two in a set Generally it will be a 10 Cent SF or 25 Cent Small date . Once I did get a PL 66 Cameo Dollar . Most sets offer NSF coins and I have yet to ever find one with a Shoulder Fold Cent ! Report this Post to the Staff
