Does anyone else save the interesting envelopes they get their coins in?

Yes, I keep a lot of them. Once a year I even take the time to unstick them and place them in an album for storage. I don't really know why, since I don't collect stamps and have little interest in them. Just seems like a waste to recycle them.

This is by far my favorite...

i collected stamps for awhile and still do when things come out so generally i save all unique stamps or older stamps i get even if they are worthless!! I have gotten stamps as old as the 1930s on envelopes before, in the past 5 years !!

 

Please post the address of the charity. I would like to do that. Thanks.

Hey JA, I certainly don't want to belittle your cool envelopes (you rock, my friend!!)

... ummm, but my dear ol' 91 year ol' Dad recently gave me his cool ol' collection (yah, who knew that there was a stevex5, eh?!!)

=> anyway ... here are merely a handful of cool pages in his rockin' collection (man, my Dad rocks!!)

Oh, "click-on" the photos and they'll become "huge" ... enjoy!!

 

Oh yah => he was a bomber pilot in WWII (the dude is all that!!)

... and still tickin'

=> stevex5!!

 

Great set, Steve, and an heirloom from your dad. Most excellent!

 

Thanks ... yah, he makes me smile

 

When I first saw the title I thought you meant COIN envelopes.

Ah well.

Steve those are amazing!!! WOW!

 

That works too. Packaging is packaging.

 

thanks, young dude ...

=> how is schoolin' and life treatin' ya? (are you bringin' it?)

 

Oh, ok.

School hasn't started yet and life has been mixed.

 

Very cool Steve. Not too many WWII vets still around. Please thank him for his service for me.

And tell him his old timey stamp collection rocks!!!

 

Zup? .... ummm, is some chick treatin' ya wrong?

=> if she's the one, then put-on your game face and treat 'er right! (otherwise, burn like a comet!!)

 

I haven't receive many interestingly-stamped coin packages but there was a flurry of excitement amongst the office staff when I received my first Roma Numismatics delivery.

Royal Mail... they thought the Queen sent something

 

I save the stamps but not the envelopes. It kind of got me into stamp collecting again because I didn't even have to buy the stamps, they just come that way. It's surprising how many coin sellers use old stamps too. But I hate when the post office uses a marker to cancel them like in the above example from Wcoins. That ruins it for me.

By the way, I really like the coins too.

 

Ha! I wish that were the case!

 

One of the postal workers at a post office here saves them for a cub scout project - that is where all my interesting French Polynesian, Nepalese etc stamps go.
