My theories are thus; it was either swiped when it first hit the USPS system, 2) something happened to the address part - machine problem or whatever damaged that part or 3) like some other stories I've heard, it fell behind a machine and will be delivered at some comically later period, like 2 years. My Dad's very thoughtful purchase of a Morgan for me at around the same period satisfied my desire for a U.S. coin.[/QUOTE]
