Our newest millionaire must make a party!

Sorry to say it wasn't legal tender!

That it wasn't a reason! How many "legal" millionaires you know???

Excellent point!!!

If I'm corect, up to not too long ago you were one....

Not even flyers today!

Coin World.

however, i got an email saying that a box arrived at my package mailbox that i know is my new mobile phone ... so yay for new toys!

A silver €10 commem form Germany

(no pic yet as the battery of my camera is being charged right now....)

The mailman hasn't brought me anything today but I gave him a few packages.

No mail on the weekends here.

Thursday's mail included a beautiful Czech piece (to be scanned)<BR>
from T3's Project Ninõ (which StuJoe won, but graciously donated to me )

Friday's mail included these:<BR>

Finally received this 1982-P 'no FG' Kennedy half. It goes with my 1983-P. The designer's initials, 'FG' were polished off the dies. I also am posting a link to a comparison photo closeup (122K) of this coin and a normal 1982-P.

Hopefully tomorrows mail run brings a package from unclebobo, and an envelope from tiffybunny. Those are my daughters allowance for last week. She is getting antsy for them already.

All the auctions that I won from Jose. There was some really great stuff in there! There were probably only 2 coins that I already had (different dates), while most were from countries that I had none from. I really loved the Portuguese Beauties!
And it was worth it just for the coin below. Check the text on the reverse. I wonder does it mean "first" or "food"?? ..............




Thanks for the great stuff Jose!! After looking through the Krause with these, I noticed some great looking designs. I will have to bother you some to see if you have any.

Well today my daughter got a very convincing 1847 counterfeit Seated Liberty Dollar, and a 1917 USA One Dollar bill, she is on cloud ten right now. She still can't believe the USA made such large dollar bills.

A postcard from the mint telling me that my Marine Corps commem will be shipping soon....They are referring to the Marine Corps that I received last week.

Mine is still scheduled to ship on Oct. 19!!!

A Katrina relief related '69 proof set from the bunny...

Three very nice Merc. dimes that I won from Tiff in the Katrina Auction! Thanks Tiff

Finally received my 2005 Lewis & Clark Nickel/medal proof set after months of back orders.

Ciao, and Hook 'em Horns,
Capt-AWACS, Women have more issues than Newsweek

1981 US Mint Set (my birth year). I will cut it open for my Whitman 20th century type set folder. It has some blanks for your birth year set in it.

Some stuff that should have arrived 1-2 weeks earlier.

A 3 Rouble note with signature of Aleksei Konshin

The great news is that I got my auction winnings from Stujoe, the nicest "junk" silver I've bought since the 1980s (when you could routinely find barber and seated stuff in the junk silver bins).

The other news is that I got a post card from the mint saying my Marine Corps silver dollar was scheduled to ship between 10/31 and 11/1, and noting that I should ignore whatever it said on the website because the postcard was more accurate.

Last night brought a couple more British folders:

2001 £2 Marconi
2003 £2 DNA

Oh boy was the mailman nice today!

First the 93 German coins from Stu came in.

Second, my ANACS 1899-O MS-63 toned Morgan came in. This coin is toned red around the edge turning to an orange and then finally a bright green in the center (obverse). Reverse is mostly dark but still nicely toned. This coin has a ton of luster to it, can't wait to scan it

There's a link to the exact coin. The color are much deeper and richer than the picture.

Well the coin looks real fine as pictured - and a pretty nice price too - wtg

I didn't pay $45

$40 shipped which worked out to $34.60 for the coin.

Very nice coin!

Coins from Tiff. She may not be around but her "presents" are still felt.

Interesting linen bag from the Royal Canadian Mint, dated 1963 it held $60 worth of Canadian cents that year. I wonder why $60 and not $50, unless the Canadians just wanted to be different eh?

Also an early 1960's Federal Reserve Bank bag from the FRB in Chicago.

No, I don't collect these, they have uses, like storing bulk lots of British pennies etc.

One package came in today with a 1972 G. Washington Bicentennial medal and a 1982 proof set
The shipping on the proof set was free because it was in the same package as the medal, so I only ended up paying only $.99 for it!

A 1980 SBA unc set from the Katrina auctions.

I also received, via e-mail, a notice that my Unc US Marines commem has been sent!

Recieved my Italian Coins from the Katrina Auctions.

With two bonus coins!!!

Thanks josemartins!

-Bobby

A very nice Barber quarter from Blackhawk..........All I can say is Thanks Bill.

1/4 Kopek 1900 SPB


1/4 Kopek 1909 SPB


1/4 Kopek 1910 SPB

Very nice Tane!

A package was delivered to my parent's house that is hopefully my ANACS Walking half I won off Ebay.....

Thanks These are absolutely one of my favourite coins! They are so tiny and beautifull. And quite hard to get hold of too

And here is mine today... worned but oh well, I bought it at a heavily battered price



Geez, some Russian coins time?

That's a Polish one... Warszaw mint.

Books from Art! Perfect timing. I will put the Sherlock Holmes book in my bag in case I get called to respond to Rita.

They sure have changed the Redbook in the last year or two. It looks real good. Love the Bonus book too!

i got mine yesterday and sent it back today ... random marks all over the reverse.
