Same here. I was shocked when Erica handed me a package from Finland. Very cool coins.

Mailman brought today:

Russia:
5 roubles 1901 FZ
500 Roubles 1912(1914, I.Shipov & Tshihirzin)
Germany:
10 Mark 1906



Gold fever is getting even worse!

A crappy ruble:



Most likely minted in 1793. Crappy but I didn't pay much for it.

Mailman didn't bring it but I had to pick it up. Another box full of stuff from Bill.

I love this one!

4½ % bond of 500 roubles 1899 "Harkovskago Zemelnago Banka".

3 Washers for my set.

Numismatist magazines and a nice woodworking catalog.

A 1912 50 centavos & 1966 20 Escudos from Portugal, from Blackhawk.

SURPRISE PACKAGE!!!!!



I got these great coins from CCG today. The bottom left one is going to be a pocket piece. The two on the right are pretty hard to find in my area, they were the "surprise" part of the package. Awesome stuff. It made my day

WOW! You got some major errors!

Yeah yeah I flipped the image on accident. Fixed now

Nothing...cause it's Veteran's Day!!!!

I was just going to post that. We are lame

My mailman brought me a Seated Liberty Dollar, unfortunately he is the worst mailman on the face of the planet, because instead of giving it to me all I got was the orange freakin' slip.

I think he hates me. He doesn't ring the doorbell, doesn't knock...

Now I have to get up early on Monday and go to the post office.

I hate it when they do that.

Are you sure you didn't show up at the door once in that vampire outfit?

Hit paydirt today!!!

1. Canadian Mint set with the colourized teddy bear in stocking, from Tammy!!! GREAT LOOKING!!!!! (I must be careful with these Canadian colourized coins. I think I am going to get into them, deeeeep!!)

2. Some upgrades for the British decimal album, from a friend on CU boards, via eBay.

3. The Russian 2000 2 rouble "City Heroes" series of 7, from Grigori over at chervonets.com (also a Lithuanian 5 lita bi-metallic and 1 lita note)

4. IHS booklet (my other collection) from 1953 Grand National. A little tattered on the spine, but still a nice addition to the collection.

Ditto.

You could complain, I mean if you see the guy walk past your place and not even bother to look that's pretty crappy. I used to have one like that too, I think it was in North Saint Paul.

Yeah, what I don't get is... it must take him a few minutes to write out the stupid slip, why not just ring the bell or knock louder? Grrrr

I got a Congress 2-coin proof set that I bought of eBay which I plan to use as a gift for the grab bag at our coin club holiday meeting.

You know, the post service is a lot better than here. They don't even deliver a SINGLE parcel probably except if you are disabled. And you have to show ID from time to time even though you got the slip... etc... I.e. the postman just delivers papers and slips...

P.S. parcels as in anything that's not in envelope format is considered parcel and hence, collect it yourself... bleh...

Being a disabled vet don't help much either. My postman knows that i stay at home . I think they just get lazy and its easy to leave a slip in the box.


My newest coin:

That's some interesting toning there. Pretty in its own sort of ugly way Cool

This came today. While not high grade I think my imaging took a way a little detail as well. The second Roman/Byzantine facing solidus after the Licinius II issue that costs five figures.

My Canadian Christmas set.

not the mail man, but my boss : Great Britain 1 pound 2005

the mail man : United States 1 cent 1862 (IHC copper-nickel, oak wreath with shield)

My trade with Burks. Some nice US coins to help me catch up with many that I am missing.

Glad you got them ok. Hope you like them as well.

I have so much stuff on the way and none of it is here yet.

Me too!

Soon!

Lots of 1909 10 rouble-notes with differend signature combinations (about 20)
500 Roubles 1992

Wow nice haul Tiff. Did the 14-D dime cost you an arma and a leg? Or in your case maybe an ear and a paw

The Barber? Nope.

I got this Sat. from eBay for $7.50 total. The seller had great pictures and I seen that it was a 1946-P Double Die Obverse-001. If all of them was this easy I would hate coin collecting.

The 1941 is an extra if you need it.
