A gift and cool label.

A friend of mine gave me a couple Canadian Large Cents. The coins are nothing special but what I found to be cool is the old labeling on the envelope. I don't know the age but it is old.

I love old labels like that. I keep them too.
Well, it looks like not very many folks think that the old manila coin folder writing is neat, like you and I do.
I do.

The only thing that would make it cooler would be actually knowing the provenance of the envelopes, if they were from a specific collector or dealer.
Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, "Meditations"
Apparently I have been awarded the DPOTD twice.
wow, that looks good to me
That IS neat. Looks 19th century? But did they actually have little square coin envelopes in the late 19th century? 🤔
Surely turn of the century or pre-WW1, at any rate, if I’m to continue idly speculating, here.
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
