Sir Sisu

No coins. But I did get a videocassette in today's mail though! .............

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

Me too!

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

Yesterday at the grocery store I received 4 of the new 2005 Finn €2 commems. The cashier must have had a new roll of them!

WOW! You got some major errors!

All gone. Perhaps we can do a group Redbook order for the 2007s.

 

I'm still considering an order to include some of the books folks have asked about, like Photograde and the new ANA Grading Standards. I'm also considering adding the new Patterns and Investing books by Bowers.

 

Perhaps when I get back from Atlanta in the next few weeks.

Depending on the cost, I would be interested in grading book: photograde or the ANA.

Another nice coin from Bill!

Gadzooks!  The last time I got a silver quarter in change it was 1995!  Though today I got a Kansas quarter and a 1957 nickel in change from lunch.

A co-worker of mine went to New York for a week vacation over the summer. He received a 1944 quarter in change!

There are companies that do this stuff also. Just on a whim try contacting one of them and get an estimate.

Here is one that has some ready stock dies: http://www.highlandmint.com/dies.cfm

Perhaps they could give us a good deal on a Coinpeople coin?

you get all your pages abroad???

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

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

It is now being sold. Here it is on the Moneta's website.

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.

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

No stapler yet?

Got it!

Not just any stapler either, this thing is a Cadillac: assisted-power for effortless stapling, large contoured design, fits a whole row of staples (do not need to snap them in half), and best of all FLAT CLINCHES!!

No stapler yet?

No, not yet.

Yesterday: a new €5 commem and a contest prize from Jose.

I picked up a couple of items while in Estonia. Some coins for trade and the commemorative below:

This is my first colored coin.

I was kind of hoping to entice other collectors of these pieces from out of the woodwork, but so far, i've failed :-(

...

I would (heh heh) if I could, but I guess I am just formica.

A beautiful crown from 28P's Katrina auction!

My favorites: some nice big shiny silver stuff!

Bermuda crown, Mexican 1 and 5 pesos. That 5 pesos is one LARGE coin!

The coin is not yellow but actually a nice bright silver. I still need to practice using my new camera. It is not as easy as I had hoped.

Anyway, does anyone recognize the holder that this coin is in? (The coin came within this holder when I purchased it.) It is an airtite and the coin is kept centered within a black foam-like ring. Does anyone know this product and whether is poses a danger to the coin? And if not, where can one order such items? I really like the look of these and would like to get more for my other silver crowns.

A very cool coin from Christian, THANKS!!

A book on the banknotes and coins of modern Estonia 1992-2002.

A nice lustrous Swiss 5 franc, and a care package from T'bunny that could not have arrived at a better time to cheer me up! ;)

Nothing for many days now, and I am expecting a few shipments too.
