    Does anyone know if someone makes plastic tubes that can hold a complete roll of coins in the the wrapping paper. For example, I want to keep the US Mint-wrapped rolls of cents and nickels in pristine condition without having to wrap them in plastic or seal them inside zip-lock bags. I haven't found anything online, so just curious if anyone knows..

    Thanks,
    Rob

    I know I've been able to fit Kennedy Mint Rolls in the Square CoinSafe tubes. Pretty much the only denomination I've tried it with, though...

    therocktjb Wait, what**

    Take them out of the paper! It causes marks to appear! Especially on zinc. I got two rolls of 2010 shield cents from the mint, and they have spots everywhere on the edges from paper. Any moisture will cause harm as well. Just remove and put into the tube of your choice.

    Thanks, yes I understand that's an option but I wanted to keep them in the special Mint paper rolls. I doubt anyone makes tubes to fit them though..As far as spots, yes I have had that happen also. The ones I have are very clean so i think if I keep them away from humidity (sealed in something), they may be ok in the long run. And usually, even with problematic rolls, it's always the 2 edge coins that have problems and the rest are more or less ok.
