I'm trying to catalog my accumulation and I found this:

It's sealed, and I'd rather not break the seal. It's between half and 3/4 of an inch thick. Does anyone have any idea what this might be?

    I'm going to go with three of the 1965 proof like mint sets :smiley:

    Did the mint have any other products aside from prooflike sets in 1965?

    Maybe they had basic uncirc sets? This was pre-product explosion it sounds like, and this (according to that random Coinworld article I googled) was the highest selling set. Without putting any more effort into it I would guess yes. I'm also guessing there are people here who actually know the answer though :D

    eta: Maybe if the op edited and put Canada in the title the right eyeballs will show up. @daltex

    I don't think the RCM sold sets like that.

    That is an unopened box of RCM 1965 Mint Sets in the Pliofilm w/envelopes and cards. Probably 5 sets. You should open it as there is a nice variety Large Bead, Blunt 5 small cent to look for. Also, Deep Cam PL's are gaining traction.
