Will have to post a picture later... my grandmother-in-law got me a metallic arrowhead necklace with a 2005 Jefferson/Buffalo nickel in it. Came with a COA and everything. It makes me happy to get anything coin-related but I also feel bad knowing she probably paid many multiples what the nickel is worth from some Franklin-mint-like company.. and I don't wear necklaces lol but also got a coin scale! Going to have to play with that one!

Totally amazed that my wife bought me this coin along with a 1936 quarter that I will post shortly. Both are high grade with great eye appeal. What's amazing is that this is the first coin she's ever bought for me and she has zero experience with coins. She got a lot of help from the owner of my LCS but I think she has the eye!   |

I got a 1963 Canadian Uncirculated set from some of my coin collecting relatives as well as a 1987 Canadian commemorative large dollar for Christmas, very happy with the gifts I got.

I bought myself a Baseball Hall of Fame gold proof but I'm sending it back because it has a big brown spot that wasn't in the picture. I had dealt with this seller before but now I have reservations -- seems like a big misrepresentation, but could be that the spot developed after the picture was taken and they just didn't notice. What I bought:   What I got:    At least I'll get most of my money back -- had to pay $21 for return shipping, which I don't think I should have. What I got just isn't what I paid for. I bought myself a 1935 Peace dollar MS63 instead. Less expensive (and still in transit) but at least I'm getting something. |

No coins for me, but I did get banknotes: twenty-five 25 rubles from the Soviet Union, dated 1961.  |
