Dear Coin Doctor,
I tried last month's recommendation in your article titled "Bringing the Color Out at Home," but something seems to have gone terribly wrong. It appears that my MS-62, shot-64 three-legger is now welded to my mother's night table lamp. I followed your instructions to the letter, making sure I applied only a light coating of hepatitus virus, but it all exploded when I turned on the switch. Now the lamp and my nickel are one, and mom is complaining that it's so dim in the room that she can't even see the boils on her knees. What should I do? Please help me.
