Coins with tape glue

Even experienced swapper like "m)(87e" sent me coins taped to card board using cello tape

Now have to clear the glue mess

It is very frustrating

I agree with you, it is very unprofessional to post coins in this manner, when all it takes is to pop them in a small zippy bag then you can tape that to the cardboard and not damaging the coins.

Yes, very sad people do this kind of thing.
I hope it gets reflected in the swap rating.

When I made my first swap, having no idea, I asked the receiver for instructions how will I send him the coins. He said to stick the coins into a cardboard and put another cardboard to cover it. I think he will not reflect it on my rating. What worries me is I didn't ask my succeeding swaps how would they like to receive their coins. I used the same method as my first.

Thanks zegeri!

Haven't seen this instruction because it's in French category. I hope someone will translate and post it in English documentation.

I thought the pictures were pretty self explanatory.  But if reading the text is important, I know Google Chrome has a translate feature that pops up whenever you are on a page in a foreign language.

Yes, I can understand the picture very well even without reading the French text. I was just saying, I haven't read this article because it was in French category of Numisdoc. Since I can only understand English, I only browsed on English Numisdoc. I was just hoping this will also be posted in English Numisdoc for those who don't understand French like me.

Makes sense.  To be honest, I've never browsed the French stuff either.  I might just have to wander over and see what other gems they are hiding from us.

I think the link is from English Numisdoc.

If it is, I can not find it. The text is in French so I assume it must be there.

There's no English version of this one.

A small example of one method I use for smaller quantities. Cut the card to approximately the size of the envelope being used to reduce movement with the envelope then follow steps below. Notice how the serrated cardboard is removed before placing coins in position.

You're a genius Tony! I love your method because it weigh less and it will save me something on the postage.

Careless and inconsiderate.

Good that this topic comes up once in a while. More than a handful of "tape offenders" on this forum have a chance to learn something and remember it.

I usually use a plastic sealing machine to "pack" coins before taping the bag to a cardboard and fold it. The result you can see in the photo. I think you can easily imagine how it is done.



I can't imagine that only very few of you do it this way. But it's the most convenient way to pack coins, I think. By any other way I think it cost you either time or money. Over the years I have received only 1 package to be packed this way.

And the machine I said above is the one below. It cost me about 20$, but I have been using it for years now.

  I remember those machines - we used to use them in the bank; a bundle of say £5 notes had a paper band round it to keep them together, and when we cashiers had enough to make £500 at the end of the day we would put them in a plastic bag and seal the end down. Also working as a cashier was good in those days (early 1970's) as in a £5 bag of copper-nickel coins you could shake it and tell by the sound if any silver coins were in there. Then there was an antiques shop across the road that bought silver coins in those days for 8 times face value. Happy days.  

I gave the guy 5 star rating but mentioned clearly in my rating comments about the glue incident. I did not want him to have a lowered overall rating as he might be a good guy but does not know how to pack. Hope he learns.
