......and a proof Shriver Dollar has not toned at all. So it seems the hag dollar can’t even be prettied up with toning!

    Eunice Shriver deserves better. If you are that unhappy with the coin, why not sell it and remove from your list of coins to complain about?

    You forgot the key ingredient!. Use those napkins to wipe off the grease on your fingers first. :D

    Did you put it where it stays warm like hot water heater?

    I guess the verdict is between "Shake and bake" or "Lightly greased" :o

    If the water was already hot, why do you heat it?

    The Shriver Dollar represents something more important than pretty.

    I do realize what it commemorates, but the artist could have done a way better likeness that would have been more flattering for Eunice.

    Right but consider that the coin gods work in mysterious ways.

    That’s a good one😂

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    That's a coin you have to wrap in Taco Bell toilet paper.

    To Err Is Human.... To Collect Err's Is Just Too Much Darn Tootin Fun!

    Try storing your napkins with some raw sulfur in a ziploc bag for a few weeks.... then wrap the coin in one.... Cheers, RickO
