I had an eight-pack of returnable bottles (remember those?) with one bottle unopened. I realized after a while that it might be a collectable...
Had to stop by the bank to finish signing some paperwork. On a whim, asked the teller if she had any large dollars or halves. She was super-happy...
I was just going to make a comment about the much rarer and more desirable "ERNIE" variety, but @Oldhoopster beat me to it. :rolleyes:
All five coins and a plastic token heat-sealed into flexible plastic film, mailed in a manila envelope.
The coin's surface is too far away from the scanner's surface. That's a scanner's version of "bokeh". You'll need to either take the coin out of...

Yes to soaking, in distilled water, then air-dry. Optionally, after (or instead of) doing that, you can soak them in pure acetone (NOT nail polish...
Sorry, but that's not the way litmus paper works, and it misses the point about olive oil. Litmus paper is fine if you've got an aqueous solution...
Dime struck on Cent Planchet Overstruck with Cent Dies! Eleven-Cent Error! You've already got offers over a million dollars, right? ;)
