Nice half eagle. Would be more interesting if the finish was also old-school!

 

Just remember those old school finishes were meant to circulate, but not this one! I hope the proof one looks nice too. As for the capsules, this one was the same, the top was loose when it arrived, but the coin was still in place, the only harm was the mess of little blue fibers from the velvet case getting in the capsule which detracted from the look of the coin (in fact I thought it was all scratched up until I cleaned out the fibers!). Now I can't wait to see what they did with Morgan's dollar reverse.

A Grand Canyon medal courtesy of Tiffany (Thanks!). I really want to escape to there now.

 

Two very nice 2001 halves. Besides proofs, easily the nicest Kennedies in my collection. Thanks, Mark!

 

Both arrived today.

 

Thanks again guys!

Second interesting item -- an extremely touching gift from Alfonso. He sent me the first roman coin that he had found. What a wonderfu and moving gift. It will hold a treasured place in my collection forever.

My first AAFES pogs, wanted these for a while, even got extras for the kiddies. These bring back fond memories of my Air Force Brat days and PX chits!

those are *much* cooler than i expected them to be. i guess i expected them to look kinda like casino chips . . .

Got back from a trip today, and had some neat stuff in my mail. From our Anton, the 10 rubles prize (see http://www.coinpeople.com/index.php?s=&amp...t&p=286247) plus a coin from Thailand which (I think) is a 5 baht piece issued in 1996 for the 50th anniversary of king Bhumibol's coronation, all wrapped in a Canadian Currency Museum folder. :ninja:

 

Also, some euro coins from Austria (€5 Mozart, EU Presidency) and the Vatican (€2 Swiss Guard, €5 Peace Day, €10 Bernini's Piazza San Pietro Colonnades). These are not my pictures but nice ones. ;)

A really nice package of coins from Elverno -- thank you very much.

 

A 1972 Mint Set and a 1988 Mint Set -- both with nice clear primo coins.

 

Also go a nice 1999P Connecticut Quarter MS63 for my Anniversary Signature Set. (The set is a lot of fun. I encourage you to give your own special set a try.)
