I sent them an e-mail, haven't heard back yet. I would be willing to return it for a full refund, or get some sort of credit for my next purchase (there's only about a $200 difference between a 62 and 63), or I keep it until I find an upgrade and never do business with that company again. We'll see.

I got these in the mail yesterday along with a new album to put them all in! I decided to put together a set from 1982-date.

Thats a coin type I'd like to collect. Those are really nice. But already have too many irons in the fire.

Funny how the 2006 Libertad has the same frosty surface that I noticed on the 2006 ASEs earlier. Must be the water!

Then I also got this upgrade yesterday:

Well, the last few days have been pretty good! First, here is a coin I picked up at our last coin club meeting, which completes my set of business strike 2-cent coins (finding a descent small motto 1864 is tough when the motto is usually the first thing worn smooth!). I tried to get it in enough light to see the motto, and although I don't have a photo of a large motto to compare it with, you can see that the letters are short and fat, while the LM letters are tall and skinny.

Next I got a nice silver round from the meeting for only $10, and it had such a nice liberty seated design I couldn't resist. Next to it is a 2000 Libertad which fills another hole in my set (when all is said and done, I need only a 2003 to complete the set now).

Next are the two key dates for the Libertad series that I received yesterday in the mail. The 1998 is the absolute key date as the mintage is only 67,000. The other key date is the 1987, and in this case I bought the 1987 doubled die variety, which you can see better in the close up photo, where there are two dots in the ".999" the numbers are also clearly doubled but harder to see here.

it is ... i like the small touch of color. unfortunately these are a PITA for folks who don't live in Canada--their license to use the olympic rings only permits these to be sold in Canada, so I had to order them and have them sent to a friend who then forwarded me the package.

I got these in the mail yesterday, now I only need a 2003 to complete my set!

I went a little crazy a weekend ago on eBay with this one seller. I got a kick out of those big silver $5 from the Bahamas, and you know I love the balboas! I have an extra of the proof half balboa and will likely put that up on the auction forum.

Not a durn thing as Stu would say. tongue.gif

A few goodies arrived in the mail yesterday.

1) Don Quixote 2€ that I got from Spain_number1. It's a beauty. Thanks Alfonso.

2) A very nice piece of exonumia from the Bill. It's the Kagen token from Bill's contest. It's great. Thanks Bill.

3) Some bills that need to be paid. Anyone want to send a donation? grin.gif

Different interpretation of my request. I was hoping for cash. I already have more than enough bills. sorry.gif

Tax Refund!!!!!

Less than I expected ($85) but I set it up where I got more money back on my checks and less back on my refund.

It's being put toward a $100+ purchase at Columbus on the 28th wink.gif

Yesterday I got some BU Lincolns from Art for my main set (not even the duplicate set I'm assembling!), and a silver dollar and 2-cent piece from ccq. And last week when I got the snorter package, Kuhli sent some more Lincolns for my second set!

Got a bunch of beautiful Jeffersons from Jtryka, and a few nice Jeffersons as dues for IPHS from Iz. Wonderful coins and great additions to the Jefferson UNC set. I'll update and post later on in the week.

This afternoon's mail included of all things, a small cigar box full of Lincolns (well almost -- there are about 10-12 Indian Head Cents in there too and a SLQ and VNickel). The Lincolns are just beautiful. One of the most outstanding of all is the 1959 Proof RED RED RED PROOF PROOF PROOF.

Thanks Daggit.

Ok, the mailman only brought my coin world, but I went to the local show today and went a little crazy on the mexican! I really couldn't help it, they were really pretty and oh so cheap!

The first are some classic pesos from 1938 and 1943, then a 1956 5-peso Hidalgo, then a couple 1968 Olympic 25-pesos (one is Prooflike) then two 1-ounce silver rounds dated 1985 commemorating two of the most famous Mexican designs. In total these coins contain 4.23 ounces of pure silver and I paid $41.50 for all of them!
