    I believe that is how the Mint Sets were issued. According to Charlton " The black stamp 'ROYAL CANADIAN MINT/ OTTAWA CANADA' appears on some 1960 holders. If you are interested in selling I'm interested in buying.

    I don't think the black stamped ones are rarer, well maybe rarer but not more valuable. I don't see too many of these with the original envelope.

    I've seen a lot of RCM 1960 sets with and without the black stamp - no price difference. This is the first I've seen with that label - very interesting.

    I wonder if it was applied by the club (not the mint) for a special occaision - note the label has a Saskatchewan address.

    I don't know Gene, maybe that was where the coin club was that the set was packaged for??????
