Mine might may come a day after the 11th but there is a small chance.
Hopefully they get it earlier then the 11th...

I have just opened my wonderful, generous gift from BadToTheBone! Many Thanks and a very Happy New Year! I couldn't believe it! My first slabbed coin - a Monroe Doctrine half - and much more besides! I will post photos when I am feeling up to it! But I must explain why I've only just unwrapped my Christmas gifts! On 21 December I woke with a terrible stomach pain and asked a neighbour to take me to the Casualty department of the local hospital. I had a CT scan two days later and an operation on Christmas Eve to remove part of my colon. I was discharged today but am still weak and in some pain, and will not be leading a normal life for some time yet. I had no internet access at the hospital so this is my first chance to go online for 15 days! |

Well, my name can now be crossed off the list!
Something that I didn't already have, was not looking for, but is most welcome into
my 'odds and ends type set' - an 1849 Large Cent.
And snugly encapsulated into one of those Air Tight plastic rounds which are often the perfect way to show off a coin.
(My humble gold type coins are in similar holders)
Gosh it looks pretty!
And a card from my Santa - well, when I read his/her CCF name I just was SO pleased!
Makes me happy that I sent a similar 'WOW' coin to my good little girl/boy.
Let's see - 1849 + 100 = 1949 + 50 = 1999 + 15 = 2014 ==> 166 years old! It has worn its years well.
Thanks "D" in "CA" - you could not have chosen better.
PS. NOPE! I won't look it up as for value/condition. That is meaningless given the true spirit of Secret Santa.
But nice rims and a readable 'LIBERTY' plus lovely color = BINGO!

Still nothing.  This was my first year that I have ever signed up, but I don't think I would sign up for this exchange again next year.  |

Wireman09, don't give up faith! Try again next year even if you don't get anything this year.

Wireman09, same thing happened to me last year. I didn't participate this year as it kind of took the wind out of it for me. Sad for sure. Hang in there though, might still be coming.

Sorry for posting late, I received my awesome gift over the weekend!
I received an incredibly thoughtful type set of Canadian nickels, displaying the different designs and metal compositions from the early 20th century through now.
Also a lowball Canadian dime, a Newfoundland 5 cent and a "wait for me daddy" twoonie !
So unexpected and such a nice surprise! I will post photos ASAP.
Thanks Santa!

Received my gift yesterday from Canada Thanks. Got three coins I didn't have and a Canadian pin. Not to be a jerk but my 10 year old daughter saw them and got all excited. I started her collecting a couple years ago. She loves Canadian currency and coins and asked if she could have them. I let her have one.  . |

Man, I think I was the first one to mail my gift out and I still haven't gotten one in return. I was really excited for a couple of weeks but now I've kind of written it off.

I remember last year, my recipient didn't mention he got the package until weeks later, and was kind of like "I got it. The end." I was admittedly a bit annoyed by his lack of shown appreciation (though he may have really liked it, but did not express this on the forum), but still I was relieved it had, in fact, arrived at his house. This year, I got tracking so I would know. :) There's still time for those across the border packages, and maybe some of the ones staying in the US just got a bit pushed back. Have faith!
