Sir Sisu

Hmmm, I must look at what I have and what I do not, and then let you know!

No, but my father is coming to Finland from South Florida.

STOP! Mumbles: Ai caramba! Ave Maria! por qué yo comprar........

A bunch of Don Quijote €2 commems. (plus an Austria €2 commem that I ordered at the last minute.)

I received another Greece €2 Athens Olympic commemorative today.

Just an update: I expect to receive these on Tuesday.

Äääähhhh, do not tell me this! I just finally got around to buying my first redbook earlier this year and it was a 2005!

Received a simple yet great trade with Art. And despite there being no deadline for the trade, he insisted on sending a "late" bonus which was much too generous!!

A Sac from a trade and an over-generous bonus for being "late"!

Congratulations to all the winners! And even a bigger congratulations to Mircea that the BIG and HEAVY catalogue made it there!

It would depend which 20 kronor note you have. Here is the Bank of Sweden's link. Here is a large view of the soon to be invalid note and a large view of the one that will remain legal tender.

Yesterday, I got a package of some Finn coins from a trade and today a Finn commem that I won on auction.

It will still be another week.

I was able to secure an order for everyone that asked and for the amount asked for. I should have them by the beginning of the next week, at the latest. henare and crystalk64, would you please PM me with your postal addresses please. After I receive them, I will PM everyone with exact price and payment options.

Because Tiger Woods has yet to break Nicklaus' record of having the most Major Tournament wins. For me there is perhaps no name more famous in golf, with possibly the exception of Arnold Palmer.

I guess it depends on the layout of your keyboard. For me I get the £ symbol by holding down the "AltGr" key to the right of the space bar and then press number "3" key. For the € symbol, same thing except instead of the "3" one can use either the "5" key or then the "E" key.

Closed. I will report back here after the weekend.

That Florin is a beaut, but I love the Lego buildings on that Thaler even more.

The gothic florin was one of my favorite coins until I came across the Hungarian 2 pengo. It has become one of my favorite coins, and Banavechi has a beautiful specimen!

It may be cheezy, but I went with the Swiss.

Medal de Mexico

Another great day! A Greek €2 commemorating the Athens Olympics (XF/AU) and another low mintage Finnish coin: a 2003 €0.05!! Also I got my first 2005 Finnish €2 today!

A 2003 Russian 10 kopeck. It was mixed up as a 10 cent.

Thanks for the input! As for the customs, items coming from within the EU I need not worry about. Coming from outside the EU, I have had a couple of packages that I had to pick up from customs -and paying the customs fee . At least with this shipment I will not have to worry. A relative is coming to Finland from the US in august. I am ordering a 2006 Krause and some other items to be brought. The prices are much cheaper than in Finland.

For one who deals with jewelry that may be true. However, for my minimal and amateur use, I do not know if I could justify the use for a B&L; I would rather have the difference in cost going to a coin for me to look at.
