    Yes. Once you've paid for it for the dimes.

    Of all the free stuff, shipping is the most free.

    Is that why the post office is always in such a financial bind? Maybe they should charge to deliver stuff...

    Buy three subscription items and then shipping is free the rest of the year.

    I know that half of America thinks it's free. I finally blocked a guy last week. For weeks he's been popping up every now and then to offer me $4 for a slabbed modern. [Callling CK] I told him repeatedly that I couldn't do it for less than $5 so I'd rather just throw it away.

    Making it the most expensive free shipping you'll ever get. 😆

    $5 is the lowest price I have seen lately for a label purchased through eBay. And that doesn't include eBay fees, which would be around 70-75 cents or so or the cost of packaging materials (another thing buyers think are free).

    Crack it out and get your nickel from the bank and send the label to PCGS.

    Don't make another.

    Thanks, but I already sold it for $10. Nice 1966 nickel that I'm told don't exist anymore.

    78 cents for a stamp to send a label back to PCGS to get 50 cents?

    You have to wait until the envelope is full. Lol. Which is why they never get returned.

    Can you prove it still does? Maybe the buyer cracked it out to get a label to fill his return label envelope and finally get his refund.

    Based on prior discussions, he must have also thrown the coin in the trash.

    People have been throwing pennies away for years. Considering the value of the dollar (or lack of it, anyway) it's no surprise some would be tossing nickels, too.

    For the benefit of the millions of readers who can't hold a chBU '66 nickel (first year of the new design by the by) what's it like holding a coin that doesn't exist any longer?

    Maybe there are plenty of empty 1966 nickel mint bags out there, though. Billions and billions of them.

    It would have been thrilling, if I actually believed they didn't exist anymore. Given 2700 SP66 or better from PCGS alone and 700 MS65 or better, I'm confident there are many thousands of them out there to satisfy demand.

    Free dime bags with every shipment, that's mighty nice of them 👌

    I may have to buy a bag or two of dimes JUST for this!

    Just the other day I was doing a little cleanup and came across the free US Mint bag I got back in 2014 with one of my orders...
