<p>[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 2998063, member: 27832"]The package did arrive today, and I can see why it was delayed. The seller printed a regular eBay mailing label, put it onto a padded envelope -- then <i>folded the whole thing in half and taped it</i>, so that the return address and square code were on one side, and my address and the bar code were on the other side. I probably just had to wait for both sides to get scanned at both post offices. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and the one coin? A 1934-S Peace dollar that probably <i>won't</i> make AU, and may be ungradeable due to a few very heavy hairlines or very light scratches on each face. The others are quite crusty and lustrous, but dirt-common dates. That's almost always the way; if it were easy to find the rare ones, they wouldn't be rare, nor worth chasing...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
