zakota Valued Member United States 342 Posts	Posted 04/20/2009 10:09 am There are three types of coins on the market. The red, blue, and clear packets. The Blue is UNC. Correct. What are the red and clear packets for? Or am I totally incorrect? It has been years since messing with these coins, so things are fuzzy. I also have coins mainly pennies and dimes in cellophane protectors. Is this from the mint or after-market? Edited by zakota 04/20/2009 10:49 am Report this Post to the Staff

acidic1 Pillar of the Community United States 632 Posts	Posted 04/20/2009 10:36 am I think what you mean are Red-silver sets...Blue-clad proof sets...Clear-mint state and satin finish sets. Report this Post to the Staff

zakota Valued Member United States 342 Posts	Posted 04/20/2009 10:55 am You are correct about the colors representing the mints. I have a 69 in blue, 69D in red. But what are the clear sealed packages. The sealed color packages are UNC or Proofs? Then the clear plastic is the other. And the sullifane?

acidic1 Pillar of the Community United States 632 Posts	Posted 04/20/2009 11:03 am You can see there are lots of colors but my proof set from 1961 is older, It might be proofs are colorless. Edited by acidic1 04/20/2009 11:07 am Report this Post to the Staff
zakota Valued Member United States 342 Posts	Posted 04/20/2009 11:38 am Thank you. I think you have answered my question. The colored packages represent the different mints as UNC. The clear are the proof packets. The other sullifane packets are after market storage. Thank you again. I only have individual packets. Not packs. Report this Post to the Staff
