Gah! Accidentally put #35 in my post on the first page instead of #37. (the canadian nickel) I'm sorry that I missed your request--and it was taken by another. It happens when there's a lot of extraneous stuff to read through. So, I have another Canadian nickel...from the 40s that I'll send you, ok?  |

I have mailed all the coins to members in the USA. Those outside the US will mail in a couple days--I have customs forms to fill out. |

It came. OH IT JUST CAME!
A silly, old coin which, while overlooked by some is much appreciated by me.
As soon as I got it out of the envelope and took a closer look, I saw some happy words: "Konigreijk Der Nederlanden":
The Kingdom of the Netherlands." My favorite country!
And the year: 1878.
The first thing that I thought: "When did Belgium separate itself from the Netherlands? [1831 - the year of its constitution]
But that is just history, and coins are often a window on history for me.
A silly, one cent piece that would be overlooked by many, but which reminded me of the joy I used to feel pouring over the "cheap" boxes of the coins of my youth. I would come home with two coins: one for which I paid $25 and an another for which I paid $0.25.
BOTH were precious to me.
So my thanks to you, DVCollector, for helping me to reconnect with my memories.
Matthew

Got my coin a few days ago. I meant to type 34 instead of 32. Still, thanks!
