[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 537885, member: 12965"]Odds are good I've already sent you links to other items he has for sale. ;) I also think it's ironic that the coin says that and he does have a sword. :D As to Mike's observations, his amended comment was right on the money. After I posted this and was looking at the pics, I too wondered about a hole in the padded envelope so I examined it closely, only to find no hole but there was a "mark" so I felt inside the envelope and sure enough, where the mark is, the bubble wrap is flat and I could feel the damage done to the interior of the envelope. It also fits right in with what you saw on the cardboard, in that something "punched" the package and when it did, it hit the cardboard/coin where it did and because it clipped the edge of the coin, it slid off and caused the cardboard to break. Therefore, the cardboard wasn't punctured, it was punched out. ;) The odds were against it happening but I guess it wanted to fit into my beat up copper collection, so it committed hari-kari. :goofer: Ribbit :)[/QUOTE]
