flbandit Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 OK, I know some of you must have gotten some coins for Christmas. I got an '07 ASE and an '08 Redbook! Oh yeah, my 8/yo daughter got me an 1892 Indian cent in about VF! Needless to say I'm pretty happy today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dockwalliper Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 I finally opened my CP Christmas exchange gift. Clive sent me a really great group of English coins from the last 800 years and a musket ball to boot! Thanks Clive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TreasureGirl Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 ^^^??? Two mint sets, a 1972 and a 1974 I think. My dad gave them to me from the collection his grandfather kept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowly but surely Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 I got a great looking 2 cent piece and a 3 cent silver so far! The type set is coming along nicely. We held off on most of our gifts until tomorrow though, since some of the family couldn't make it to town on christmas day. So here's hoping for more!

Scottishmoney Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 I haven't gotten a coin as a gift persay since I was a kid. Everybody in the know that I collect, do NOT get me coins because I am picky. I have given coins like ancients as gifts occasionally though if someone might be really interested in it.

YeOldeCollector Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 I don't dare let my family roam the hammered coin market... Plus not many family members would willingly spend $3-400 on a Anglo-Saxon coin for me... lol I often get mint sets and the odd Plantagenet but always get coins from people's travels, which I often donate to charities. - Clive.

Sir Sisu Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 I VERY seldom get actual coins as gifts. (Though this year was an exception as a friend who was vacationing in Thailand brought back some nice new circulation pieces for me.) I normally get coin related items: 2x2s, pages, books, etc. This year I only got one coin related gift but it was a very handy one: a mini tripod! Now I don't have to set up books as a platform and take tons of pics hoping that one will have been when my hands are holding steady. item specs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneydog Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 You need to use a remote shutter control if your camera is not made for a remote shutter control. Then you should use the delay shutter switch the one so you can push the shutter and a few seconds later it trips. This will take care of all camera shake, and it will work great with your new tripod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClearwaterCoins Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I did not receive any coins under the tree this year. But I did receive money so I can go and purchase coins. I am looking at completing my Kennedy set with the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
