I think I broke the mailwoman's back today.

A package from Turkey, included 22 new banknotes. A variety from former Soviet states, and a few from Yugoslavia

Another package of notes (10), mostly Yugoslavia, a few others.

A package of Polish coins from Izzy (money went out this morning!)

A trio of Lithuania 1 litas, including the new Palace of the Dukes.

The new Canadian 25c for Vets.

I am afraid that the banknote bug has bitten me, as I am already browsing eBay looking for some more. Fortunately for me, I have so few that there are still plenty of "bargain" notes that I need. Only going to collect the notes to go with my main collections - Yugoslavia (and, of course: Bosnia, Croatia, Macedonia & Slovenia), and former Soviet states.

A terrific roll of buffalo nickels. Some with full dates/some partial - no nodates.

Very nice. A special thanks to Jtryka.

A free pork rib recipe book, a free Moutain Dew power drink sample (did I mention I'm an internet freebie junkie, too?) and, drum roll please, one BEE-OOT-EE-FULL 2005 Canadian, fresh from the roll, year of the vets, new issue bu quarter compliments of the prodigal son, Franz.

All the album pieces I need to build my Dansco Nickel Album, 4 Bowers' Numismatist Companion books (Travelling, Topside, Downtown and Countryside), a box of staples for my flat clinch. And a cool Haloween package from Da Bunny!

A good mail day!

It got the BunnyBasket!!!

Took a coffin to work last night..Mmmmmm.

Got mail from Finland today (thank you, "Sir" ). And since I am too lazy to get my camera out, this is what it looks like ...

The mailman hasn't come yet, but I got an e-mail saying my Marine Corps dollar was shipped! I only ordered it August 15th!!!

A wonderful gift from Finland. Many many thanks, I love it!

The mailman brought a book not a coin, but I did bring this back from vacation.

Well, it wasn't the mailman, but I picked up this coin at the local show today. There was really nothing there I wanted, but I saw this one in a big book of foreign coins at one dealer's table and I couldn't resist.

Cool coin! S = San Francisco?

Is that a 2c or...

Neat! Hehe, I have to be in Ehrenbreitstein in about four hours ...

Yes, this one is not listed in the Philippine section of the redbook, but I believe it was minted in San Francisco. It's a very pretty coin and not very expensive.

Do the obverses all look like they were struck as weak as that? I have one too, thus my curiosity.

Today:

1000 roubles 1995
Subway and telephone tokens from Moscow and St.Petersburg
A small lot of common soviet and russian coins
Buffalo nickel 1928

And this:

50 Kopek 1913, I suppose it is uncirculated

A Canadian 25 cent piece from Franz, and a thick wad of pages to finally organize my banknotes -from San Miguel.

you get all your pages abroad???

5 assorted coins from the Bunny(contest winnings) as always very nice coins, neatly packaged. Thanks Tiff.

I got a package from Canada, haven't opened it yet, but I believe there is a quarter in there...

one 2€ San Marino 2005 ... in a weird funky package with a sort of pendulum ... i'll try to get a photo of this tomorrow.

Two cut Halfpennies, one Richard I, one John. Sold as "Two hammered coins". It's made my day!

The Marines have landed!!!!!

Yes, if you consider that these are the only banknote pages that I have ever acquired.

After months of waiting I finally got my Marine Corps unc. silver dollar yesterday! It's a very pretty coin, and pretty nice quality (though they had long enough to make a nice one!). I also went to my coin club meeting last night and won an auction lot of 5 WLH! Overall a pretty good day!

bills


and a few Christmas catalogs for Fran.

A package of coins and a note from Corina.

A boatload of coins from Blackhawk.
1854-Large Cent
1892-5 Reis from Portugal
and a bunch of Philippine coins, including my first peso.

Well, after buying that MacArthur 50-centavo at the coin show last Saturday I got the bug and bought a 2-coin set off eBay which arrived yesterday. It came with what might be the original packaging, but I am not sure. It's basically a paper folder with two celophane windows for the coins that tell a little about them, like the mintage (100K for the 1-poso, 200K for the 50-centavo). The back of the folder has a PO Box address in Manila. Anyhow, the coins are fabulous and the packaging was just an extra bonus!

Those are awesome Jtryka!

Absolutely agree.

My complete set of Silver American Eagles came today from Shop at Home TV - They are beautiful!! I am about to put them in my Intercept Shield Album.

A letter from the gov't basically saying that they want me to pay taxes...

Yesterday I got a 2006 Redbook from Art along with 100 intis, a 2005 leather bound Redbook from NGC and a token from the WCC/PNNA show in Portland. There is a gentleman that exhibits at most of the northwest coin shows that hand strikes tokens for the shows, and I e-mailed him and asked for one since I can no longer attend those shows being 2400 miles away. I received the token yesterday and his other tokens were mostly dime sized with historically based designs (one year it was a pine tree shilling, etc.) and this year the coin was tiny! He wrote a description, and it was based on an ancient design of an athena head from the 3rd century BC. In the photo I put it next to a Dutch 10-cent so you can see how tiny it is! Very neat!

Neat!

"Coins of the USSR" from akdrv and a french 25 centimes 1903 XF-AU.


One of my top favourite designs

P & D Rolls of West Virginia Quarters from the mint. Also, a 2005 proof set and 2005 Silver American Eagle Proof that I purchased for my goddaughter, who was born this year.
