<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BlackHorse1968, post: 7739151, member: 121638&quot;]My dad bought these bags back in the day and packaged them in glass 1 gallon pickle jars with aluminum foil over the mouth of the jar, plus the lid and electrical tape over the seal.&nbsp; It preserved them beautifully but they weigh 32 lbs a piece with 2 bags crammed in there.&nbsp; Imagine 32 lbs of glass and metal hitting your toe!&nbsp;&nbsp; It takes a sharp rap with a hammer to break the glass and it must be done carefully to contain the glass and keep from jostling the coins inside.&nbsp; Once liberated from their glass enclosure, they are packaged in a brand new empty paint can with a vapor corrosion inhibitor strip and a desiccant because it will take me years to sell these in rolls.&nbsp; The paint cans aint cheap but at least they won&#039;t break and they come with a handle.&nbsp; The bags have minimal printing on them.&nbsp; These are from 1959 and are stamped 256/59, plus something illegible below.&nbsp; Bags are tied shut and sealed with a lead seal.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1325218[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
