Got a very cool package in the mail today, from our fellow member Ray

It containes all hole fillers for my US type set:

Jefferson nickel "Monticello" no mint mark
Jefferson nickel "Monticello" "P"
Jefferson nickel "Keelboat" "P"

Washington Quarter "D"
Washington Quarter "no mint mark"
Washington Quarter "P"

But, as extra: a "Lewis and Clack BICENTENNIAL commemorative envelope from the USPS with stamp.

Very very nice :D

Nothing of late in the mail. Beautiful coins here though.

Glad to hear that they arrived, and you like them. If you are collecting the new US coins, I can usually get them, so just let me know if you need any of these. This goes for anybody across the pond

A little peach slip from the post office saying the idiot didn't knock again!

An envelope of Large Cents - haven't looked at them yet.

The latest issue of Numismatist.

Time magazine

National Geographic

Several offers that would make me rich beyond my wildest dreams and others to insure myself and thereby make others rich beyond my wildest dreams.

Some bills. (Not notes for my collection - cable, doctor,...)

Hey, we must have the same mailperson. Except for the envelope of large cents, the Numismatist, the Time magazine, and the National Geographic we got the same mail

Hi guys...especilly you toning freaks.
On UK Ebay look at item 8312267220.
A few big players are also buying..BEWARE.

My John Marshall commems showed up today. 2 each, proof and unc. Proofs are very nice with very nice packaging. My first modern commem. Hope I made the right choice.

5 silver Roosies from Tiffi. Thanks, kiddo. You know how I hoard silver. ;-)

Yep that was the idea. It's all the silver I had for the giveaway.

Ah, I recveived some of that silver, too. Thanks so much for the lovely sparklies! I adore Kennedy halves and I've not seen Oregon quarters yet--very nice. My first uncirc 2005 nickel, too. The Bunny knows all and sees all wants (wait a minute, are you Santa Claus in disguise?) Thanks, again!

Another coin book - this time an American one! "The Complete Book of Coin Collecting" by Joseph Coffin 1959.
I'm worried that my book collecting is outstripping my coin collecting!

2 1909 Wheat Cents
1 1910 Wheat Cent

A Marvin The Martian Coin

97% off center cent

-Bobby

A nice Portuguese 200 reis (1843), weak VF but with a mintage of 1181 pieces i don't mind the grade that much...

Jose

Silver

a Washer, a Roosie, some Mercs and a barber dime.

And two clad Roosies

Some new holes filled and some very nice upgrades for my typeset

AE:

Nice Bobby, did you get the off-center cent from a retailer, or private seller?

Whatever category Ebay would fit into

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1

Odd... I remember it stating the seller knew it was a 1964 D because they took it straight from a roll, I just cant seem to find where they stated that.

In any case, another off center for me I love 'em!

-Bobby

I just picked up the package the mailman should have given me yesterday. An 1890-S $20 Gold Liberty NGC AU58. Too bad it's not for me.

Or me!

Along with this...



I got my latest Belarus Commem, you can see it in the World Commem thread or the Russian Virtual Coin Museum.

Very very nice, Tiff

That one is for my Mom for her B-day, but it will be mine someday. Hopefully far off in the future.

JACKPOT

I received an uncirculated Leif Ericson Commemorative $1 coin, still in the mint package with COA, a 1920 Pilgrim Half Commemoerative, a 1833 Liberian Token, a 1636-1936Rhode Island Tercentenary Medal, and a 1972 Malta 10 cent coin with a neat ship. All of these are beautiful, and from our friend Blackhawk. Thank you Bill!

A Canadian Large Cent Album, from jackson/Dain. Thank you Dain, now I know which of these coins to look for.

A handful of gaming, transportation, and other misc. tokens from Keith at exonumist.com. I will go over there to thank him.

added link...

Tiff, that Belarus commem is a beauty!

Today the postman brought:
cable bill...
junk mail...
junk mail...
and my new book on U.S. Type Coins by Q. David Bowers that was sent to me by Art!
It is so cool to get things in the mail from other CP members.

Dansco State Quarter Album 2004-2008 w/Proofs & Silver issues.
2x2 Self-Adhesive Quarter holders.

This is what my mailman brought me. The last coin to complete the set.

An order of coin collecting supplies...
Two gas card bills (damn gas is high)
and two coins I won on eBay, a 1922 Peace dollar and an early commem. Both are gifts and will be back in the mail tomorrow.

Well, not from the mailman but from the Coindealerman..this is my latest acquisition (All I did was give him a piece of plastic ) . A total impulse buy - I just liked the way it looks. Some kind folks on ABPN have been helping me with the attribution, but I got a lotta homework left to do.

Today the mailman brought to my house:
5 copies of "The Official Guide to Coin Grading and Counterfeit Detection Edition #2", a PCGS book and
some Russian notes that I bought from a dealer at eBay. Love the pre-revolution Russian notes. Very cool looking.
I had a good Saturday.

i dont get anything in the mail anymore... just money orders .. i went local

Again, not from the mailman but from the Coindealerman..my latest acquisitions. A few bucks in my pocket and a Saturday with nothing to do but check out the coin shops...my idea of a good time.

First up was a 1979 proof set ($8.00 woohoo) - I wanted the half and SBA for type sets.
[center][/center]

Then, this Washington-Carver commemorative screamed to be part of the half dollar type set ($14.50).
[center][/center]

I had to upgrade the Barber half in the set because, while having a lot of detail, the old one has been (in my opinion) cleaned So, this one has taken its place - at probably a few bucks too much, but a VF20 on a good day, and I like it.
[center][/center]

Finally, this UNC Peace dollar - again an upgrade and pretty reasonably priced.
[center][/center]

All-in-all, a rather pleasant Saturday (well for me anyways).

Two proof 2005 nickels, bufalo and ocean view

a lot of goodies for my type set

Barber dimes: "O" and "S"
Barber halfs: "O" and "S"
Silver Roosie "D"

Got a problem now, my type set table hasn't got a column for "O" yet....

5 new numismatic related books from Amazon.com. Three for the library, one for the coin club to use as a give away, and one for me.
This time I had ordered Cherrypicking, the guide to varieties.

I got a very special and wonderful gift in the mail today from a fellow CP member. 2 Columbian Halves 1892/93 and a 1930 Hungarian 100 Pengo note. I am so happy. It was a wonderful and most appreciated surprise.

this one came today. I had an AG3 example, but this is my upgrade...

obverse:

reverse:


it's in an NGC VG8 slab

Received my first Standing Liberty "D" quarter today

Also found a note on the doormat that another parcel was offered, but was too big for the mail slot. Will be offered again tomorrow. Must be the 3 old redbooks I won on Ebay recently

Yesterday come the Chocolate Rouble from Anton (confiscated by Ramona...)
I've got today from France a superb Sadagura coin Para - 3 Dengi 1772. It's my first shiny coin of this type (the majority are porous from fabrication). I'm happy

nutin'

Me neither.

bills, bills, and more bills.

As long as they were not medical!
Nothing good about getting medical bills.

Yup, it was indeed the red books.

well, actually, two red books (1959 and 1966) and a blue book (1963)

I love the prices in them....

Was delivered by parcel deliverer, who said that he'd come back later this afternoon, with some ore, but those would fit through the mail slot

I'm curious

Been waiting for this for a while...slow shipper, but I love the piece!!!



1896 Push Out Morgan

And he did

One of Colin's famous, no, actually two of his famous auctions that I won arrived:

A bunch of 1966 coins and some nice US, German and French cons for my collection, including a US 1945 mercury dime "micro S". And a nice note

Mailman brought me a 1985-S PR69 Deep Cam quarter! Very nice coin and from my birth year

Finally after a 10 day wait, I received my 2005 Silver proof sets.
