The coins are are taped to a big sheet of paper and labeled.
All that sticky residue on those coins makes my inner self go "REE" (as them kiddos say).

Common junk coins anyway, no biggie.

Reminds me of Indochina coins sold in a album set at tourist spots,
they would glue them with super glue on the back and some were scarce coins.

Hey! That's original vintage Scotch Tape invented by Richard Drew in 1930! This 90 year old tape may be worth more than the coins. I'd bid on it but I have too much antique tape in my collection already.

As far as the coins go, can you say "Acetone?"

I have received coins in the mail taped to paper a couple/few times by uneducated sellers.
You can sometimes expect stuff like this to happen when they sell everything else but coins and the only item they offer out of hundreds of listings is the lone item you want in coins and paper money.

Will remind Aussie collectors of the 2012 $2 Red Poppy coins. The coins were sold in bulk at face value to local RSL clubs along with seperate cards. The RSL clubs had to attach the coins to the card which were then sold on Anzac Day for $10 giving an $8 profit to the RSL. Unfortunately some enthusiastic volunteers glued many of the coins onto the card until it was pointed out that the glue damaged the coins. The coins are now worth ~$100 each but $30 less if they have glue marks. The RSLs also sold rolls of the coins without the cards. The unopened rolls (without glue marks) now go for rediculously high prices.
