Here's a nice item from today's mail. A Canadian Unc Set from Daggit.

Nice!!! You should be lucky I didn't notice that auction. I need to start working on catching up on my PL sets. I think I have from 1962-1979, but nothing newer. One of these days!!!!

Got a nice envelope full of coins from Daggit. Gosh her auctions/sales are neat. Some nickels for my Jeffersons. A nice 38-D buffalo and a slew of world coins. Plus a beautiful 50 something banknote from Japan.

Got my Danscos for the Lincoln Cents and Jefferson Nickels in yesterday's delivery.

Got my 2006 ASE and the Nevada SQs. (no pics)

Nice stuff

OK a great numismatic day for me.

1) A package from the Bunny with 2006 Jeffersons and an outstanding 53-D Jefferson -- WOW!

2) A package from Christian with the 2006 German 2€ Commemorative. It's a beautiful coin.

3) A package of auction winnings from Colin. A really nice Phillipines banknote in there.

4) A big big box of Lincolns. It is really too big to even look at all of them. These came from a deal with Dads Coins.

Tonight I will inagurate my new Dansco Jefferson album with the new Jeffs from Tiffibunny.

Thanks to all. It's always a pleasure trading/buying/selling with our CP family.

Great mail packages in today's mail.

1) Tiffibunny -- holy cow those are some of the most beautiful golden toned Jeffersons that I've ever seen. The lincolns are DCAM and Red. A great deal. Thank you.

2) A Bobbycoin auction package -- A nice stack of wheaties and a few IHCs. Great coins and fast delivery. Thanks.

Yay! Glad you like them.

Sounds like a great day indeed.

Good haul Art!

In today's mail.

1) A very special surprise from Iz. Two beautiful UNC Jefferson nickels 2002P & D still in the mint cello. Iz's dues for the International Posting Holiday Society -- IPHS for short. Iz, I got a great laugh out of that. Thank you so much.

2) A package of beautiful UNC Jeffersons from Jtryka. I'll scan them later in the week. I have to leave for work at 8 tomorrow and won't get home until after 9pm. So I have to put it off. Jeff - thank you so much. You've really helped with my Jeffs both the circ set and now the UNCs.

3) PennyWise - the journal of the EAC Society. Haven't opened it yet.

4) Fine Woodworking Mag. - I really like this magazine. Great pics of outstanding projects.

5) Bills of course.

Other than that, sounds like a great mail day!

Great stuff Art! (except the bills )

I just found those hanging out in a bowl down here.

Surprises are good!

Especially in conditions like those.

Got this in today's mail. Another half.com deal. Very nice.

It's weird to look at Art Garfunkel and see a face that is younger than my own.

As I recall this was his first album after the split. I really enjoy it. He sure does look young.

Got a great surprise package in the mail today. It came all the way from the Netherlands. A special big thank you to T_3 for this uplifting surprise. (picture is borrowed from Ikaros' Omnicoin.




I had admired the artwork on this coin when Ikaros posted the picture. T_3 in his kindness had an extra and sent it to me. That was very kind.

Those are a really nice design.

daggit what is your avatar its beutiful

You're welcome Art!

Wow... I like this design. It's "other" than Euros or Dollars

This design was used on the Dutch 5 cent coins ("stuiver") from 1913 - 1940. It's composition is copper-nickel 75% - 25%).
The coin is designed by J.C. Wienecke. It shows the branche of an orange tree
The remarkable thing about this coin is that it's struck by the Koninklijke Nederlande Munt (Royal Dutch Mint), but that it does not have the mint mark of the mint.
The text on the obverse says: "Koninkrijk der Nederlanden" (kingdom of the Netherlands)


The same design is also used in Curaçao, in 1948, with the text "Munt van Curaçao" (coin of Curaçao)

The same design is also used in the Netherlands Antilles, from 1957 - 1970, with the text "Nederlandse Antillen" on the obverse (see image above)

And a similar design was also used for the Netherlands Antilles 50 cents coin from 1989-2003, but larger in size and a different composition, steel with a golden glow:

Just added this to my raw IHC collection. It's an open 3.

This is an "impaired" proof.

1886 Type I.

Those are very nice, Art

I like them all. The impaired proof looks interesting.

Purchased new Danscos for Franklin Halves and IHCs a week or so ago. I've got them both populated. Will scan and post tomorrow.

I just ordered the Danscos for SQ with Proofs and one for SACs with proofs and one for Roosevelts with Proofs. Stepping up the modern stuff to handle the proof and unc sets I'm planning to acquire and breakup.

Ok - so I haven't scanned the Frankies and IHCs yet. So I procrastinate on occasion.

I ordered and have received a few more Danscos for my library. Buffs, Mercs, Wash, Walkers, JFKs, Morgans, Peace, Ikes, SBAs. It's a pretty good run on my bookshelf. Now if only I had a few coins to put in them. (I actually have some around. Just need to dig them out and do the pick the best specimen thing.)

Very nice cents!

Just received a big bunch of proof and unc sets. No pics yet but they're all great sets. Two silver proof sets were included. A nice push for my Danscos of Modern US Coins Collection.

Sitting around drumming my fingers waiting.



"Ok - so I haven't scanned the Frankies and IHCs yet. So I procrastinate on occasion. "

"No pics yet but they're all great sets."

Well. Uhm. Yeah. Ok so I've been procrastinating a little extra long on some of this stuff. You caught me. Maybe after Christmas I'll have some more time to play with a little of this.

Nice run! Are you going to be splitting them up in danscos?

They're being split. The ones that have been posted have just been split and placed into their "permanent" homes. I have a few more to go. 1994 & 1996 Proof sets, 1963 Mint Set, ....
