[QUOTE="nightowl, post: 752869, member: 18614"]I have to tell a funny story on myself.... I went to the post office this morning and picked up this coin....twice. I opened it and a couple other things while I was still there. I put the flying eagle penny and an Indian head in my watch pocket of my pants, slipped the shield nickel back into the envelope that it came in and went home. I thought that I'd put the (still wrapped) shield nickel in my watch pocket too....but nope...I looked 3 times and it still wasn't there. I had tossed the envelope that still had the nickel in it... into the garbage can at the post office! I had to run back down the hill and retrieve it. I was having little heart attacks all the way back down the hill. Thanks goodness we live in a really small town, and nobody was dumpster diving the can in the lobby of the PO. Nightowl[/QUOTE]
