Hey Kurt, would you send me a copy of the letter?
Not to argue, Doug, but THAT SPECIFIC BRAND of bag is NOT air permiable. It is layered and air tight. I have one of these machines and they will...
Not to play Devil's Advocate, Doug, but the plastic bag that mlov43 pictured is not only air-tight, but vacuum sealed.
This seems to be a recent trend, Chris. People ask seemingly simple questions and when given an answer, they are picked apart, corrected...
He may have jumped in, but chances are you will never teach insider anything.

The 3 doesn't look correct.
and you're right. I did mis-read his original post. His assessment was accurate. I think I had OP's post on the brain.
There was only 1 punch used at Denver Mint from 1914-1932. That's a fact. There's no misunderstanding it. Is there any limit to your arrogance...
and yet you continue to waste your time chasing the dragon. I'll tell you this, insider, many times I will say "IIRC" or "If I'm not mistaken",...
