I didn't get any coins but I did get several slipcovers for my Dansco albums and a couple of new Danscos for Buffalo & Jefferson nickels to replace the one that held both types. Oh, and I got $100 in "coin money" which will more then likely go towards 4 boxes of cents.  |

I got $10 worth of lincoln rolls from my fiance's younger brother. Everyone laughed and I thought it was a very cool, thoughtfull gift. I don't get many toys anymore, rolls are like toys to me. |

I went to a coin show and bought my own Christmas presents. For gifts all I ever get is Vodka, shirts and other unimportant stuff.

After my 1909-S VDB and 1914-D purchases, I really didn't deserve anything else, but I got some things anyway. A Dansco Indian Head album with slip cover, a nice 7x-12X loupe, another 450GM Dessicant pack, and a box of saf-flips, oh yes, and a partridge in a pear tree.

My only Christmas coin is a 2008 1 oz silver Britannia which I bought myself. I did get a bottle of 12-year-old Jameson, however, which is almost as good. It won't last as long as a coin, but even the most beautiful coin doesn't make me glow inside like that stuff does.

No coins for me, but I did get a Coin World and a Numismatic News for my reading pleasure, as well as some money to go towards completing my Lincoln cents! |

I was very surprised to get this fantastic gift in our Secret Santa exchange, plus a few more things on their way from overseas.  |

I did not get any coins but my wife did give me A Guide Book of Buffalo and Jefferson Nickels by Q. David Bowers  I have been passively collecting BU Jeffs with nice strikes but I own very few Buffaloes so I guess I might have something new to collect now  I did notice one very interesting item in the book- a drawing of James Earle Fraser with the Indian head and Buffalo motifs- the drawing was done by Charles Daughtrey  Edited by biokemist6

Four pounds of World Coins.  Still sorting them for the most part, but having too much fun doing it.  Here are some of the Greeks I pulled out;   Will post more as I get to them! |

Not many people know that I'm a collector of any sort. I didn't ask for anything but world peace and confidence in the markets... I got a sweater ... ... but I bought myself something nice. A proof that was most fairly priced. I also got a whack of gift cards to most useful stores that I do indeed frequent, so somehow that helps defray the cost(in my mind!).   |
