Congratulations Dean on winning that mule, top condition and going to a good home where it will be appreciated. Lucky you lost the other one ~ far too tarnished.
On envelopes, Colonial Collectables has a coin of Honorius which states "This coin comes with an old SEABY identification envelope."
While the big ones are cased my tiny (21mm) official silver Diamond Jubilee Medal of Queen Victoria comes in a minute brown paper envelope with Royal Mint stamped on it. So paper envelopes were certainly used before we went plastic. Provided they have no sulphur or acid traces they should be O.K.
