I'm surprised this Large Cent even got to me. This is a miracle!

Ha!

A first for me here as well :p

It was a Paypal address label, standard size just stapled to what you see here.
This was just crazy as they could have bought a padded envelope for the same price to send safely!

I'm surprised the USPS accepted it for mailing.

Two pieces of cardboard, stapled together and mailed. It's a wonder USPS handled it.
Rest in Peace

And all the way across country at that... 100s of opportunities to get lost or damaged. I would say the coin gods were looking out for you!
