These 3 sets I recently revieced in a mixed lot. Are they Official?

Interrested in nordic numismatic history, and european history overall.

Always looking for damaged, holed or even unidentifyable coins.

Hello and good afternoon,

 

These sets look like coins gathered by NR Michaels's collection for collectors a while ago (as stated on the gold sticker BTW).

 

Official sets looks like that : 

 

When Cyprus started to mint coins in 1963 (after gaining independence in 1960) , official proof coins where sold in cases.

I think that they are sets made up for holidaymakers, I bought one like these when I was last in Cyprus. They are usually good value and sometimes may contain that hard to find coin you have been looking for.
