Thank you my Uncle Bo....I mean my Secret Bo.......I mean my Secret Santa He sent me 3 wonderful coins!

A very nice German 10 Euro Bertha Von Suttner Coin. Thank you Christian
and a Coinpeople Coinbuck AA 000034* note. Mike came up with the idea of retuning the 34 duplicates and making one of them a star note. Pretty neat, thanks Mike.

I wanted to use Nantucket so badly I could taste it! It's a dog to rhyme words (decent ones) with, though!

Received my Christmas note from Art. Thanks

Nothing.

Sure, that's what they all say.

Yesterday: the secret santa coin that made a quick stop at my home before continuing its journey to its new owner.

2 2005 proof cents.

Chocolate from Tiff (smashed, lol), cents from Sir Sisu, notes in a swap, and which looks like my Christmas exchange gift!

Canada mail is soooo slow.

Tell me about it

Um. . . the Nothing thread is in the Asylum tiffibunny. . .

All the way from Portugal:

United Kingdom 1895 half crown
Canada 1913 25 cents

And daggit, thank you sooo much for the ornament and Canadian coins!!!


What a wonderful day.

Stay tuned for lotsa pics.

...waiting with great anticipation for pictures...

I had to post my last coin purchase of the year.

Complements of James at EarlyUS.com

A beautiful 1812 Half. They certainly make a fine collection.

It's too bad that they're not made of copper!

very nice bustchaser. I have seen lot's of new haf's worn worse than this. wonderful condition for 193 years old.

I am struck with Awe over the last few things I recieved.

The three christmas Cards were great. Thank you to Art for the note, Sir for the Euros and Tiff I have a speacial Thanks for.

Tiff is like an uber awesome Super Bunny whos friendliness is only outdone by her generosity. The card was awesome, who doesnt like Chocolate? And The "handfull" for prizes for winning a Football pickem... Thank you so much Tiff.

I recieved my secret sant gift late last week and boy did that floor me. No to say I was floored in an understatement. To my Secret Santa (you know who you are, and so do I, I figured it out ) You are awesome! I felt like I had robbed someone. I recieved about 12 2x2 pages most of them full totaling about 125 Italian coins!!! Tooo Sweet! and an Italian note to go along with it! I am forever greatful to you Secret Santa. You sir are a great person! I can only hope your secret santa gift brings you as much joy.

The generosity of this place is overwhelming at times. Whenever my job makes me think there are only money grubbing idiots in the world, I come on coinpeople and my faith in mankind is reassured.

Thanks Everyone!

EXCELLENT mail day yesterday!! My "secret" santa package arrived! It could not have been more perfect!! 2 Awesome coins to check off my "Wantlist"!!! Many Many Kiitokset!

I also received another coin towards my type set: the coin was in pristine condition -finally a real winner from eBay- except that the package and everything in it reeked of cigerette smoke; even the 2x2 plastic flip was pungent!

First I opened this...

Mmmmm, satin!

Next I opened my future PCI competitor

My favorite of the 10 euro commemoratives!!!

Today mailman brought me:

1 Kopek 1914

2 Kopeks 1912

15 Kopeks 1911

50 Kopeks 1897

½ Sovereign 1914

I received - Nothing! Nowt! Nada!
You guys are just too rich for my league. It takes me a month to be able to get enough to buy one coin!
Don't you feel sorry for me?

Wonderful mail deliveries for so many CoinPeople. The coins are all great. I see a few PCI contenders in that last few lots.

For my typeset

Quoting Tiff since I can't find the drool icon...nice Indian. These Indians are all MUCH better looking than those ugly yellow things from the early 20th century.

Thanks!! I like it too.

I also got a nice German Medal. Can't compete with Goetz, but for $7 delivered, I have a beautiful lady to admire

Oh nice!

Beautiful Indian and medal.

Here's an interesting item that showed up in today's mail.

Wow, that's interesting.

1916-P Barber Dime in VG condition

Well, sounds like the post office/mailperson knows who is most likely to receive coins around your place. That's a good thing

Well? Did it?

If any of your collection ever turns up missing--better question the letter carrier!

I hit the jackpot!
