Uncirculated trade coins packed in official sets issued by the IGCMC, in particular earlier-dated copper and aluminium coins, have varying degrees of patina or natural discoloration.


Many sets packed in rigid plastic cases, especially the long and rectangular cases widely used during the 1970s through the early 1990s, were shipped by the IGCMC in a thin outer carton packing. Due to their inferior quality, also of the glue, these carton packings are usually damaged or open, or entirely discarded. The plastic cases themselves, however, are not affected and unscathed. From the mid-1980s onwards, the IGCMC (and during a short period the Bank of Israel) issued plastic-cased sets without any outer carton packing.

Plastic wallets were issued with printed embossed text. In many cases, the text on the outside of wallets has become discolored or almost disappeared.


Years mentioned are years of issue and the year printed on the decorative packing of each set. Many mint sets and uncirculated sets, primarily those issued until 1978, actually contain coins dated one year earlier.
