Show us some of the old "original" boxes, holders, etc. you've collected.

Here's your image. No need to wait!

That's a great case! I assume there was some sort of insert so they coins were loose inside?

Sold this for a friend a few years ago - should have bought it myself.....

Andy, it still had the coins but they were certified.

I used to work for AT&T. One of the organizations was the Telephone Pioneers. You had to work for the company for 100 years to be eligible to join. (Actually it was 18 years, but with the break-up of the company, I never got close. That 18 year number had recently been reduced from 25 years when I joined the company. As you can see, the Telephone Company was a "gold watch" enterprise for many who worked for it.) Years after I left the company, I bought this piece in an auction. It has “relic status” because it contains copper recovered from the original 1884 telephone line between Boston and New York, as explained in the reverse.

This Thomas “Stone Wall” Jackson medal is not overly rare, but most of the surviving examples are beaten up. This one is quite nice because it probably spent most of its existence in the original box.

The story was these were made to be awards to Confederate soldiers by a French concern. After the war the people who were holding them got cold feet and did not award them. They sat in a warehouse, in Richmond, Virginia, I think, until the 1890s.

Sorry, Not a US Coin. I wanted to contribute.

This isn't as cool as the old packaging being shown here, but there are probably plenty of collectors who have never seen one of these. An old PCGS rattler slab box:

I consider these old holders. 1970's era Capitol Plastics Holders - this is my Raw collection. I just buy another board off eBay and scratch the dates off so I can kept it growing.
