I received my Secret Santa gift last night! Wow! I must have been good! Santa got me a nice 1888 MS 63 Morgan dollar in a PCGS old green holder! She has great eye appeal and has very nice blue and yellow peripheral toning on the eye appeal! Thank you very much Santa! I am very thankful for your generous gift! Morgan's are truly my favorite.   |

Thought I could wait but, Santa's gift came on Monday and I tore into the package. Wow! Ms. Claus or Mrs.Claus sent a holder display of, "Republic of Ireland Coins". How did she know I was of Irish ancestry? Thank you, Karen bpoconnor  |

@SPP-Ottawa, glad they arrived. I was starting to get nervous. The tracking made it looked like they had been held up at customs since the 16th. I just emailed Richard about it yesterday.  |

My gift went out yesterday. Since I'm shipping it internationally from the US, it may take a few extra days. So if you are outside the US and waiting for a package, do not despair! Christmas is on its way!

Cross my name off, Santa. Got my gift today :) some nice British coins and some foreign banknotes. But my favourite of the package has to be the rooster token struck at the RCM (I'm guessing around Chinese New Year). Not sure if the sender was aware, but I am a rooster child :) so that was a very pleasant surprise, thanks a bunch! |

Later than promised, but as promised, here are some photos of my haul from my Secret Santa. 1st group of six world notes:  2nd group of six world notes ():  A bunch of stamps:  Thanks, very much Crazyb0! I know some of these notes by sight but I'll have to research the rest. The stamps are great. I used to collect stamps as a kid and these bring back some memories. Love the new Wall-E and Up stamps.  |

I got my package today including an 1893 columbian expo commemorative half, a 1941 French Indochina 10¢ made at the San Francisco mint, some foreign coins and Japanese occupied phillipines 50 centavos, one of them being a forgery made by the OSS during WWII.   Thank you so much susuman! These are some awesome items! I really appreciate that you took the time to figure out what I like. |

Santa stopped by today, dropped off a package and asked if I had any cookies and milk for him. I laughed at the ridiculous request and he took out his nice list, crossed my name off, and said " Next year you're getting cleaned coins" I fainted on the spot. I just woke up and I'm still shook up from the encounter. Long story short... I GOT MY PACKAGE! My Santa brought me: 2013 D penny 1971s proof penny 1954 D penny Blank Zincoln 1978 s proof nickel and dime And a 2015 P Homestead Quarter He didn't reveal his identity but left a clue saying he had over 5500 posts and has been a part of the forum for over three years He also said some of the coins may help identity who he is Let's just say I think these "childish" games are outrageous and I "wheat" stand for it! ;) Merry Christmas and thanks for the super fun Exchange! PS: To Secret Santa for future reference a pair of needle nose pliers would be helpful in pressing down the staples on the sides so they don't scratch the other coins when shipping. FDR's torch and Lincoln's wheat stalks did not get along very well on the journey   Edited by Buckwill311
