no stars, angels, trees etc?

I received wonderful New Year Greetings from the US Government in the form of my 2005 tax forms!

Another Tiffi coin from Czechoslovakia.

Ah yes, I love that coin.

been saving my pennies for one that looks as "aged" as the 25c on my avatar. I really like the dark fields and lighter devices on a circulated coin.

Note to mmarotta: this is from a "reputable dealer"

Some upgrade wheaties for my set.
A 1978 Proof set...

and my Secret Buddy gift.

Stay tuned.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Secret Buddy.

OMG

Good things come to those who wait.

OMG, I'm still waiting.....

That I like.

Holy sheep snot--bee-oot-eee-fulllllll!!!!

Fjord that is one of the most attractive coins I've ever seen. I'm not a huge fan of the design but it does look great the way it has toned.

Got my roll of Poppy Quarters from Anton. A very nice surprise of a series of Bulgarian banknotes found their way into the package. Thanks....

Some Roosies for the set.

2 big packages of minor coins from a couple different sources.

5 coins from Slovakia
6 coins from Czech Republic
1 coin from Czechoslovakia
5 coins from Hungary
1 from Serbia & Montenegro
1 from Ukraine
2 from Russia
1 from Poland
1 from E. Germany
and a couple from Singapore

Sounds like a package I would get.

A Constantine I chariot type death commem. with the fingers on the hand of God visible. This is sort of like a full-step nickel, kind of hard to come across, and only the first time I've seen one.

AND A #$(&@#(*&*( ORANGE SLIP FOR THE 2nd DAY IN A ROW EVEN THOUGH I HEARD THE IDIOT PUTTING THE MAIL IN THE BOX!!!!!

I have had mail sitting in the post office for two weeks before I even got a slip. I have had to go in with the number of the registered mail and let them know that I tracked it to the office but did not get a slip. Idiot Post Office people. At least there are some there I like.

Huge monster envelope full of banknotes from our own Tiffibunny. So a big portion of the Tiffibunny Banknote collection has changed homes. YEAH!

A very nice "Merry Christmas and a happy New Year" card from the Netherlands!

Thank you Erik!

Something from Akrdv for my son.

Nice Christmas/New Year's cards from Erik and Kevin, both of which where accompanied by lovely coins! Thanks, guys!!!

Bills -- not even one coin or coin-oriented item. BooHoo numiswithdrawal...

All those notes aren't enought to keep you busy for awhile???


And I picked up the piece of mail that should have arrived yesterday. 1994 Austria 10 ECU Proof Christmas.

Well, yeah! Shure! But I've not really started to do anything with them yet. I have to scan them, find the info about them, post them to banknote, figure out where to put them...

Wait til the other 300 + Scottish notes come up for sale beginning this weekend.

Unfortunately my paypal balance is almost zero......

Akrdv sent my son a Romanian 5 Lei from 1930, Peru 2 sols 1995, and some coin we have not an idea of what it is. Bolshoye Spasibo!

A HUGE Swiss Ski Medal. I shall post pics shortly.
