Santa came by my house today! I found this beautiful roman coin along with a note in my mailbox. According to the note this coin predates the oldest coin in my collection by over 1300 Years! Really cool gift

Now comes the fun of identifying it!

WoW, is that coin super clear and well-struck. That I can tell you. Identification on the other hand ...

Good job, there, Santa!

Santa Has received some questions about the value of some of the gifts.

This exchange was started a number of year ago and a suggested spending amount was given.

That was to prevent some from sending Two Cents to someone while receiving a fifty dollar gift.

the suggested amount to be spent was also to insure that those who are not a well off financially did not feel embarrassed, when exchanging gifts.

Since this exchange is about giving
There is no upper limit to the gift in the exchange.

Some of our members want to give.

That is their privilege.

This is also the reason Santa ask those who do not want to mail out of the country their choice
It is not the hassle of paperwork it is the expense some can not afford..
We do not allow any to post this on the forum
That is why Santa receives instructions via email.

I hope this explanation helps those with concerns

Happy Holidays
rggoodie
aka Richard

Santa, the list is correct as far as I'm concerned!

I posted a while back about the wonderful gifts SanTa-BOP sent, and the person I mailed to has received theirs!

Thanks Santa, and thanks to all of Santa's helpers!
Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays, everyone!
