The short answer is seperate it from the herd and have it put down. It WILL infect the entire roll if left untreated. I had a number of old...
I love the reverse on those notes... it's a shame we don't see more of their ilk these days!
I'm a little confused... which "first spouse" is this coin supposed to represent?
What year did the Mint start using the cellophane(?) packaging for the proof and mint sets? I have a 1954 set that was just the coins in a holed...
