My personal opinion is that this is quite a gimmick, and I prefer to not have them in this packaging, but if this somehow adds value to any sort of resale I'll leave as is. Thoughts are appreciated.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 12/31/2018 4:48 pm I am of the opinion that unless the packaging comes from the Mint and is intended for mint and proof sets, the packaging won't add extra value. Non Mint packaging however, may certainly help with coin protection and add to saleability, especially with sets of coins. Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5239 Posts	Posted 12/31/2018 5:23 pm Such packaging definitely improves the saleability at places like a flea market or to a casual impulse buyer. However, if you plan to keep them it is just unnecessary bulk. Report this Post to the Staff

Some of this stuff can be interesting for nostalgic reasons, especially if it is from older programs. Someone may pay a premium and if not let them free the coins after purchase.

Myself, I would leave them in, not for any added value but because they add an interesting dimension to otherwise quite pedestrian coins.
