Post All Coin Related Christmas Presents!

I have not received a coin present since 1992 when I was given the first modern silver proof set. Most know my tastes are are specialized and advanced so they do not want to venture into coin gifts. I do have a $1,000 bonus burning a hole in my pocket.

Santa left me 5 rolls of unsearched cents. found a wheat in each. It must of been santa because the old lady is out of town and they just mysteriously appeared in a place I have never kept cent rolls in that area and they weren't there a few days ago when I looked and I know I've opened every single cent roll I've gotten the last few months.
I guess he picked me out some decent rolls, 5 wheats in 5 rolls is pretty good even if they were 3 50's 1 40's and a 1937. I would of preferred 5 rolls of bu 1909 s vdb's but I was kind of a naughty boy this year.

I got about $30 cash and $10 gift card to my LCS.
Christmas money goes to silver coins, half dollars or larger. With two kids in college and paying cash as we go, I don't buy anything bigger than a quarter (unless its a killer deal) during the year. It's my present to myself.
Probably time to fill that 1955 Franklin spot and maybe another hole!

I receive a bunch of these in my stocking. Very tasty.

I received a 1987 Proof Constitution Dollar from a family member.

I bought myself the Bust Half DVD recommended in another thread.

I received a few silver coins and a 10 ounce WSM bar x3

Nothing US related, but I got an auction catalogue from 1955 I was after, some money to spend on coins (of course!), a copy of the British Numismatic Journal of 1918 which has an article with a coin I now own in it.

And this:



Just an ordinary UK decimal penny. However this one was struck in sterling silver. No, not a mistake. Our Royal Mint has decided to produce a few every year as souvenirs. One of their more fun ideas I think!
