Wow trout, looks like we've hit a raw nerve there. Did you have some unhappy childhood memory of mint set packaging?

Nah Mate, I had that much fun as a kid I wish I was back there
It's just me, I collect coins not the packages they come in.
I wonder if some collectors keep the envelopes from their coin purchases because they had a spelling mistake in the address, or maybe the stamps were put on upside down.
If some collectors hold these mistakes in packaging from the mint dearly as collectibles, good on them.
Just not my cup of tea/Beer brand
I can just imagine the condition of these sets in 30 years or so entombed in their plastic wrapping.
I say cut them free and let them join their peers of other years in an album

I hope I did not cause any offence.


Not at all. Even if there was, I tend to do my fair share of offending.

I knew you had missed the country, but your comment fit so nicely with my point.


The reason I asked was because the highest listed grades for that date US nickel don't list for more than $40 or so.

Mob-

Not crazy at all. If the value is because of the special issue card, a collector wants a complete one.

I've had people tell me they save the packaging I send. Can't imagine why.
