Except for one thing, over time the coin will not look the same. The difference in color between the spots and the rest of the coin will get worse...
No disrepsect intended Traci, but that's absolutely one of the worst ideas I've ever heard. I can only hope you were joking and forgot the smiley....
Yeah, but you have to go to the Post Office to do it. Private mailing companies like the one the OP was using can't do Registered Mail. But I do...
While I would agree about the quarter being a ground find, the nickel is another matter. Getting stuck in a dryer does not cause layers of the...
