    I have a bunch of roll paper from the start of the US President series and others. Is this a topic of any interest?

    I could see someone wanting to wrap silver dimes or quarters in a period coin wrapper, but I can't imagine those in that photo would appeal to many.

    Only the stuff I forgot about in the bottom of my coin junk drawer.

    Not from me. The really primitive stuff would be easy to counterfeit and hard to certify.

    I like original mint boxes and find commemorative coin packaging interesting, although I don’t have very much of the “old stuff.” Still I am not a buyer at very high prices.

    It's recycled in my house if we had any. :rolleyes:

    Gosh, it seems like the market for that would be scammers trying to pawn off "original mint rolls."

    Let's collect ammo magazines for WW 2 weapons. Why not collect the ammo too? Well, let's get pouches that are used to carry the magazines. Then we need a belt to hook the pouch on. Then you need the holster and the weapon. That belt is heavy, we should get combat suspenders to reduce the load.
    Is that sort of what happens in collecting over the years? I got rolls from the US Mint with each new release up to 2011. I kept the wrappers thinking someone may want them to enhance a collection. I put the comment up before I do all my "house cleaning" and they are gone.
    I'm not trying to encourage illegal activities. It is just for fun and to help someone if they needed it.

    Hot chocolate! Yes, that's it.

    I'd love to sit down with you for a spell and drink hot chocolate and just talk to you. You continually find ways to pique my interest. I would enjoy having that hot chocolate in front of a roaring fire with the snow piling up outside and shooting the chit with you.

    It was just the first thing that popped into my head. What better way to enhance your "unsearched roll" than to have original packaging? But I'm sure those types can find knock-off wrappers. You make a good point though - collectors expand into wanting the packaging too (or the ammo belt, etc). Some pristine original Matchbox boxes are worth more than the cars, and there are aftermarket copies of the boxes for collectors who must have a box to go with the car.

    Zero interest for me, but maybe they'll have their day. You never know. People now collect slabbed coins for the plastic alone. The holders themselves as a collectible.

    Because so few people are interested in these wrappers, and relatively few of them are likely to survive over the long term, somebody 75 to 100+ years down the road might be happy you preserved those.

    I have never heard QNDC before. What does it mean?

    Sounds nice except for the snow. Just getting too old and too many implants to enjoy the snow.

    I’ll take it. That’s better than a Quirky Nude Dancing Chihuahua, I reckon.
