Thanks you two for offering to send another gift. I was going to offer as well but with two already volunteering, I think it's under control. I just wanted to say thanks for having big hearts and stepping up.

I am pretty sure my gift has arrived as my neighbor who is keeping an eye on my house e-mailed me to say I had a package! I won't be home for another 3 weeks.

For my Secret Santa gift I received a 1937 English year set in VF to XF condition. When I signed up for this I thought I would be disappointed if I got non american coins, but I don't think I've been so wrong in quite awhile. I don't have a English coin to my name so it was super fun learning some basic info about these over the afternoon   This is a gorgeous introduction to international coinage, the picture really don't capture how pretty that half crown is. A sincere thank you to my Secret Santa Peter1234 P.S. You are quite good with tape, it took me longer than I would like to admit to get the coins out for these images. |

Webster,
With the possible exception of the 6d and 3d, all the coins appear to me to be in mint state.
The amount of hair on the 6d and 3d isn't clear but the reverses seem to be mint state, too.
A lovely set and unusual to see together in such lovely condition.

That's kind of what I figured, it came with a card that said VF-XF, which sounded low to me but I figured he would be a better judge than I. I'll have to find a good way to display/store it.

If I'm honest the coins are EF+.A couple of Unc's. I prefer to strictly grade my coins. I found them wrapped in a virgins silk panties.  I'm glad you like them. |
