Each of these four dimes were sandwiched in the sticky folds of 2-inch packaging tape. As I look back at the pictures from the auction, I see they were already taped up when photographed, so I will assume you got them that way. On the chance that you did this: NEVER ENCASE COINS IN TAPE! I had to soak them to remove the tape and tape-gum, making the coins looked cleaned, WHICH DEVALUES THE COIN. Otherwise, they were well packaged, quickly shipped, and (unfortunately) just like the pictures.
