<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BR549, post: 925521, member: 7110&quot;]Early mint coin sets (those produced before 1959) were housed in cardboard containers and included 2 examples of every denomination. </p><p><br /></p><p>Beginning in 1959, the U.S. Mint switched its packaging format to cellophane packages, each striped with 2 brightly colored tape inserts on the top and bottom edges of these packages. Blue indicates coins struck at the Philadelphia mint, and red indicates coins struck at the Denver and San Francisco mints (in years when San Francisco struck circulating coinage).</p><p><br /></p><p>Flat pack cellophane Proof sets from 1955 through 1964 all had a paper Philadelphia Mint emblem in the pack.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps,</p><p><br /></p><p>Happy Collecting[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
