Burks Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 So what did everyone get from loved ones that concerns this honorable hobby of ours? I got a lot, although not expensive, gifts. ~1500 2x2's in various sizes 50 2x2 3-ring binder pages Mercury Dime Dansco Lincoln Cent w/proofs Dansco (YAY ) 2 x San Fransico Mint proof commems (one was almost out of the case but undamaged, the second's top didn't fit too well) 1 x San Fransico Mint UNC commem This cool Canadian coin set that was toned very nicely, will post pictures later. I actually went back to buy it this week and it was gone. 10,000 more staples for the 2x2's That's it for me! Like I said they weren't expensive but it was stuff I would really use. Those 2x2's go as quickly as I get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Nothing numismatic, but the kids each got a silver Panda dated 2006 that I bought in China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 A couple of really nice gifts. I got the Indian Head Cent Red Book and a 2007 Spiral RedBook (been wanting that to keep track of my moderns). Had a few Danscos ordered for me as gifts but they never showed up.

bill Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 No numismatic gifts from my loved ones (I give, but they don't know enough about my esoteric interests to buy for me). I did, however, receive two rare California Midwinter Exposition 1894 So-Called Dollars on Saturday. They were my gift to my self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabbs Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Got the Weltmünzkatalog 2007 (Catalog of World Coins) written by Günter and Gerhard Schön. This is the new "1900-Today" edition, with about 2,000 pages ... Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Well, Merry Christmas to all! I was about to put "nothing" down but I got a few things. 1) I bid on some low priced dimes and quarters last night and won those lots. So thats a little present courtesy of money I received. 2) I got a metal detector. I have wanted one for YEARS and have never remembered to ask for it. (I told a family friend but forgot to tell them the cheaper options to get me on my list ) Suprisingly, that was the only gift that required batteries. Thats got to be a first.

gpnyc Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 I gave coins but didn't get any back. Oh well, I'll just have to pick something up in either the FUN or CNG auction to make up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan769 Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Wife knows not to try to buy anything coin related for Christmas, instead I get a day at the FUN show to buy whatever I want. Within reason of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiffibunny Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 6 proof sets some silver and a little grab bag from Mom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elverno Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Nothing numismatic. Like lots of folks I suspect the family has learned that the "wrong" coin gets a sort of blank stare out of me. Got a monopod for my photography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlueke Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 One book, Die Muenzpraegung des Bistum von Muenster (The coins minted by the bishopry of Muenster) I also got a token made out of the copper of the old Michel church roof in Hamburg. Apparently it was recently rennovated and they used the old roof to make some nifty little souveniers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
