Mintage Figures
These sets were produced in highly limited numbers compared to standard yearly mint releases:
• Total Set Mintage: Only 21,145 sets were produced in this specific plastic pack format.
• For context, individual ACT circulating mintages were quite low (approx. 2.1 million for the 20c and 2 million for the 50c), making these dedicated packs a must-have for completing a Federation portfolio.
Condition
• Coins: Pristine, untouched, and strictly Uncirculated condition inside the secure blister cells.
• Packaging: Remained protected in its original card and plastic wrap. Note: Please inspect the photos closely—the clear plastic protective cover has developed a distinctive bubbly texture across its surface due to age, which is quite common for these vintage RAM plastic blister packs.
