Bill76 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 07/19/2015 10:27 am Hello, I recently purchased my first gold coin. It is the 50th anniversary Kennedy gold half dollar. I know I'm supposed to keep all original packaging. Does this include things like the felt pad/white felt wrapper around the wood display box, or just the blue outer box, COA, and display box. I'm probably being a little paranoid I know, I just wanted to make sure. I would assume the felt items are mainly for shipping, and can be purchased anywhere. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Since I never plan on ever selling anything, I just keep the display box and all it's contents, the blue outer box and most importantly the COA. Report this Post to the Staff
Bill76 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 07/19/2015 11:12 am Thanks denco. I just thought it might be better not to store it with the white felt wrapper, that was around the wood display box. Especially considering that is something that can be obtained anywhere. Report this Post to the Staff

Here is a link for an ebay search on the gold Kennedy half so you can check. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odk..._sacat=11116 They even have a listing for just the packaging. This is common. Guys who slab the coins and then sell them often list the packaging for sale minus the coin in case someone wants it all and didn't save it or bought it on the secondary market without it.
