Title: Best bet for 1966 mint set coins
Post by: Coins from Vending on May 24, 2014, 01:56:34 PM
I am on the hunt for a 1966 mint set of coins, I am not sure what to buy as there appears to be a few types on Ebay.

Are the 1966 coins in the blue cardboard of sufficient quality to warrant getting slabbed? or should I be looking for some other form on mint set?

Also what is the best option when buying the round 50c piece, I'd like to get a few primo quality ones for slabbing.

I know that the carded sets are a bit exposed so would probably be dinged up and the ones in the PVC folders are a bit more protected but many will probably have PVC damage.I've found the sets sourced from the USA are in better condition and generally haven't been tampered with like many sets available in Australia

The best slabbed 1966 coins come from rolls,
