Normally I would view the post and move one, but I just needed to say thanks for posting. It is just further proof that I need to search what I get back as change more closely.

Oh well...I didn't expect it to be worth anything It's so corroded that I could've sworn that was an 18... I'm glad we have such knowledgeable people here to share these insights...thanks!
