Secret Santa - Holiday Exchange 2012

rggoodie,

I just got my gift. Give me my star. I heard ticking so I submersed it into water. It stopped ticking. I hope it wasn't a Corum gold coin watch.

No, I didn't hear ticking and I didn't put the package into the drink. I'm trying to figure out who my Secret Santa is so I can directly thank him/her. The return address was coded but I do know it came from PA. I have not opened it yet. I'll have Superman use his X-ray vision to give me a hint. I may wait until Christmas eve. I may not. It's like having a chocolate cake or a box of chocolates. You can only wait so long before you dive in.

"Life is like a box of chocolates,
You never know what you're gonna get." Forrest Gump's momma

Until you open it

I just wanted to send Colhand1 a huge thanks. I would email him privately but he has his setting set to private and this link is the only way I can think to get ahold of him. This member sent me a second gift after the first because he thought the first was unsatifactory. I just want you to know that the first bill was more then enough, and the 2nd package with the other two were just a great surprise.


Thanks again I look forward to diversifying my collection into currency.

First Package:


Second Package:

Got my gift today from the exotic land of Georgia. Thanks to whomever my secret Santa is! Funny enough I actually did not have any Florida State Quarters in my collection and now I have both the P and D mints as well as a colorized and gold plated version. The Georgia State Quarter rounds out the holder nicely!

Oh ya it is! COOL!

HOLY WOW!!

Got my package today!! Secret Santa used a username in their return address, so I know exactly who to address this to:

A thousand squealed, jump-in-the-air THANK YOUS to jfransch!

I opened my envelope, all curious, and two littler envelopes came out. I opened the card in one envelope and was told a real Peace dollar to replace my fake was awaiting me in the other, so I opened the second envelope already beaming . . . and found TWO more envelopes, those little archivey ones that kind of look like teensy office envelopes . . .

AU 1922 Peace and 1885 AU Morgan! 

These lovely ladies will be staying in these envelopes awhile yet until I can get more flips, and they'll definitely be cherished.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Boy! The devil's face took me back a lot of years.

And I just discovered this last week.
Can anyone identify the coin?
