Joecontois Valued Member United States 418 Posts	Posted 12/21/2015 2:03 pm Santa visited me today and I would like to say thank you! I got a half a dozen Buffalo nickels, four of which are 1936. I have the perfect use for these as I have four little coin collectors in training who will appreciate them! In addition to these, I received 10 Kennedy half dollars that I needed for my Whitman books. I had 45/65 circulation strikes, now I have 55/65. These items were enough to meet the requirement of this gift exchange, however my Santa went above and beyond and included 2 more items on my want list. A 1937-D Washington quarter, and a 1924-D Wheat cent! The cent may be cleaned or damaged, but it looks pretty good to me! I'd say you were pretty generous yourself "Santa," and I don't think our Numismatic friend needs to tell me who he is! Edited by Joecontois 12/21/2015 5:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Darth Morgan Pillar of the Community United States 2815 Posts	Posted 12/21/2015 5:31 pm Santa visited my mailbox today! Boy, was I ever surprised by this "eclectic" grouping of coins! These Lincoln cents were actually obtained at the release ceremony in Springfield, IL - true "first day of issue" coins. An error coin! This one is made even better in that it is my birth year. I absolutely LOVE this one. The addition of the "radioactive" tape was a stroke of GENIUS! Such as cool piece. Yes, Secret Santa, the Morgan was, in fact, appropriate. - 1886 VAM 1C (3+2 clash) TOP 50 Last, but not least, a 1959 Alaskan trade token that is actually plated with Alaskan gold. It also comes with the original envelope. Spectacular! Thank you very much, biokemist6! Your thoughtfulness and generosity are greatly appreciated. I will treasure these coins for years to come!

NJ Bob Pillar of the Community United States 655 Posts	Posted 12/21/2015 5:37 pm Santa stopped by today and dropped something off in my mailbox. (I know it was Santa because the envelope said it came from Canada and that's where he lives, right?) Look what he brought. Thanks Santa! Report this Post to the Staff

Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2135 Posts	Posted 12/21/2015 7:03 pm Darth Morgan, The radioactive dime is interesting. Of course, we in the UK are unlikely to see one as it's illegal to send radioactive stuff in the UK post; and easily detected since they routinely scan for it. Report this Post to the Staff
ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 12/21/2015 7:14 pm Awesome coins, everyone! I keep telling myself I'll post pics of mine tomorrow, and maybe someday I'll do it! Report this Post to the Staff
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 12/21/2015 7:47 pm Pertinax, it's practically no longer radioactive. When they were irradiated via neutron bombardment in the 50s and 60s, the radioactive silver isotope produced had a half life of only a few seconds. Report this Post to the Staff
Neo13x Pillar of the Community United States 604 Posts	Posted 12/21/2015 8:07 pm Today has been a good day. Had the day off from work, dropped the kids off at grandma's house for the night, went out with the wife to see..... you guessed it Star Wars and on the way back checked the mail box and found a package from my secret Santa!! I received a 1959-P dime with beautiful rainbow toning on the reverse, a frosty and lustrous 1960-P dime along with a 1981-D DDR still in the mint cello. My secret Santa hit the nail on the head. Silver, luster, rainbow toning and mint error all in one package. Thank you very much Santa!! Edited by Neo13x 12/21/2015 8:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
