Day 14 - Note to self

 


Note to self:9th sale, 10/8/24; probably too cheap but it sold! To drop off at PO 10/9, after repackaging - hopefully to 1 oz and thin enough.

Started over with new envelope and added folder paper around coin as padding with stripped down coin holder flap so it was thinner with bare grey card stock showing. Hope it weighs in ok too. Will go to UCB PO soon to ship. 9:43 am UPDATE: 1.1 oz!! Can I get it down more?! (tried again with printing directly on small envelope as A6). 10/9/24, 4:55 pm update: 0.9 oz and shipped!

That's it. Nice n clean. I did that by putting in a 3rd image and then viewing the images by clicking on them in eBay, which then showed the 2 coins side-by-side. I th...
