I have found a few old coin wrappers. They have printed on them " This wrapper furnished by 'First National City Bank' New York , for the use of it's customers" , a space for the depositors name and the amount of the roll, i.e. 50c. pennies. I did some research on these and found out that First National City Bank changed it's name a few times and it is now Citi Bank. I would like for some one to tell me if they are worth anything and if they are collectable. I can attatch a picture if anyone is interested to see them. P.S. The wrappers are flat sheets not rolls. In great condition.
They would be classified as exonumia. I searched EBay's exonumia section for "wrapper*", and came up empty, so if they are collectible, I can't imagine where they trade.
I have never run across anyone ever selling empty wrappers as a collectible, but there is a first time for everything.
Thanks for your help , and information. I didn't know if they were collcetable or not , as some people collect gum wrappers. I just figured there was no harm in asking. Thanks again.
Why not be the first? You never know what people will collect. Find as much info as you can about the bank and try to Ebay it.
