    Boom! It's over! All the stress of arranging funds and tracking it for three days is over. It's now just like any other coin that happens to be sitting on my desk ;)

    If that's like "any other coin that happens to be sitting on my desk" I would like
    to spend an afternoon sorting thru the goodies.

    Actually, there is no other coin even close to this coin's stature in my collection. You are welcome to come over and look, though.

    I can relate to your anxiety level rising at each step the item has to go thru.

    My stress level also elevates as each step is met and this is for a small priced item. :D
    I cannot describe what my mental state would be if I purchased a $100.00-$2,000 item. :#

    I also have an unusual path that my item travels (this is getting to be a standard route of travel and not an exception).

    The shipping label is created, item accepted at post office of origin, item accepted at distribution center and then item departed distribution center to its destination facility.
    This is pretty standard for all of us.

    Here is where it gets interesting for me.

    My item arrives at my Ma distribution center in Springfield Ma.

    It then moves to the next facility at Boston Ma distribution center.

    It then goes down the road to the Boston Ma sorting center.

    It then goes to Avon MA so it can arrive again back at the Boston MA distribution center.

    The next step is the item is shipped out of state to Nashua NH. ???

    Guess where it goes next. Yup the Boston Ma distribution center.

    It then leaves The Boston distribution center and arrives at my local post office in Medford Ma.

    There it sits here until they finally post that it is out for delivery.

    Then the wait to see if the "mail person" will deliver it.

    Just a fun note that the distance from the Boston distribution center to my post office is less than 7 miles. LOL
    I can understand now why the post office keeps going up on the price of stamps.

    I truly like the phrase, "You can't get there from here".

    If I had a five-figure coin coming, I would have to be institutionalized.

    Thanks for sharing your story @Barberian

    Had it and forgot about the auction two weeks ago and it slipped on by way under priced. Have not seen another.

    Most coin collectors would find these cents to be more interesting and desirable in their original packaging. B)

    Thanks for the comment. I have 2 graded by ANACS and maybe I will just send 1 in to be graded and then keep the others like they came out of the cereal boxes.

    Does ANACS show that it's a Cheerios Cent on the label?

    I haven't bought anything except at face for a while now. Maybe I should.
