Ole hyvä! Mukava että kelpasivat.

Harvoin löytyy netistä näin mukavaa paikkaa, jospa ensi jouluna täältäkin lähtee jo muutama kortti maailmalle
Mutta nyt palataan englantiin, ollaan järkytetty muita jo tarpeeksi tällä Suomen kielellä
Мені дійсно подобалася моя монета, я не маю будь-яких інших монет з Сан-Маріно до цих пір.
Коли я відкрив поштову коробку, я був здивований, здивувався, чому я отримував це.
Фінські думають, що вони такі розумні писання у фінській мові.

I was really surprised, forgot about signing up, I think I wrote my note in Spanish and confused Kat though.
Because of my families upcoming journey to China in March we are not doing much for Christmas, so this is my onliest gift
Thank you very very much, very nice coin and SOLD OUT by San Marino
And the mailperson brought these today:
Got these lovely coins in the mail today in addition to a Portuguese 1 Escudo. Sorry D, I like them too!
Ok, I'm getting upset. Nothing from me yet? You should have 2 things coming from me. 
Glad that you like them, the 2 cent. i've sent you has to much "die cracks" in the obverse for Dave... 
The coins i've sent took twice the usual time (six, instead of three workdays) to arrive to Finland, don't stress Tiff, he should get your stuff in a couple of days.

Jösses! 
Today I got about 1000 counterfeits. 
Well, not the metallic variety, but a book about "Münz-Fälschungen" - about 300 pages with lots of images. Written by Volker Weege (in German), it focuses on German Reich (Empire and Weimar Republic) coins but also has quite a few examples from other times and countries. The emphasis is on counterfeits made to deceive collectors, but the book explains "circulation counterfeits" too.

That coin is listed in the catalog part, but it is not among those pieces discussed in detail. Weege (the author of this book) says that years other than the official ones existed due to private orders; we discussed that here before. So this coin dated 1910 would either be fake or one of the private pieces. The book shows a detailed example of Hamburg 20M 1875 (small eagle) though.

Very nice coloring. We were fighting over it like little kids...he was all like, "Since you bought it you can look at it anytime--I want to see it now, besides I didn't get any coins," and I was all like, "Let me see it--I bought it--remember you didn't want me to buy the coins I showed you," and the cat had to get his say in so he was all like, "Meow, meow, meow, meow!" What a sideshow we are!
