purelywasted Pillar of the Community Canada 1505 Posts	Posted 11/17/2022 01:54 am Was looking through the recent CNC auction site and saw what they described as a 1965 specimen coin set case. Looked through Charelton, no mention of a 65 case. It looks similar to some of the british cases with the white backing, rim around the coin holder and gold outline on the outside. Anyone have more info? https://auctions.canadiancoinsandpa.../398/lot/424 Edited by purelywasted 11/17/2022 01:55 am Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21589 Posts	Posted 11/17/2022 07:35 am Your right about Charlton's, they show no cases between 1953 and 1967. I'm sure if it was issued by the RCM, it would have their logo on it. Perhaps it is a third party case. This is a question for one of our experts to answer but I am also curious as to the answer as I can't see someone paying over $200.00 for something not produced by the mint.

Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5393 Posts	Posted 11/17/2022 10:50 am Have seen 1953 sets in this type of case . Has the right look and style for Royal Mint and RCM cases . The person who paid north of 200 and the auctioneer both believe! Report this Post to the Staff

purelywasted Pillar of the Community Canada 1505 Posts	Posted 11/17/2022 2:48 pm I know the some versions of 1908 didn't have any mint markings and they printed a label that was mailed out later, if I remember correctly (one was sold in this auction). Looking for the correct case for my 1965 specimen set. I think someone said the black ones from 68-7? were not the ones used for 64-66. Maybe someone can answer that question.

purelywasted Pillar of the Community Canada 1505 Posts	Posted 11/19/2022 5:26 pm Here are some 1967 cases with a white backing and similar triangular edges around the hinge. These do have an RCM marking on the inside though. Report this Post to the Staff
