Bojajar New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 12/10/2023 09:14 am Hello first post for me. I love collecting lincoln cents and have a question about the original mint cello packaging on the 2019w cents. Are they safe for the coins or should I remove the pennies and place them in snap lock holders. Thank you Report this Post to the Staff

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4588 Posts	Posted 12/10/2023 11:09 am They are safe in the sense that cello isn't PVC and won't itself damage the coins. However, cello is not gas tight and coins will tarnish / tone in the package. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7613 Posts	Posted 12/11/2023 01:52 am Welcome to the Community! I don't think they came in cellophane like the old 1940's and early 1950's proof sets came in. Those old proof coins were placed in little flimsy thin cellophane "cigarette packaging" sleeves and the five sleeves were then stapled together, placed in a small flimsy cardboard box with tissue paper and then shipped out with postage stamps on the shipping box. (The mint didn't use metered postage until later). All of my W cents came in little sealed polypro bags (about the thickness of a ziplock bag) that are hopefully free of PVC. Time will tell!
