I just didn't want to deal with the return and then waiting on the backorder line so started messing with it and saw how easy it would be to do it myself. It just took a couple minutes. In the end I bought it for the coin anyways, that was my POV so figured why not, I might care more about the dollar bill if it was a star note or a repeater or something... here's the finished product. I wouldn't do it more than once or twice tops, that tape adhesive can't last forever. Up to you whatever you do of course just putting it out there for informational purposes.[ATTACH=full]978675[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]978674[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
