2017 Holiday Exchange - Secret Santa

Still waiting for some of you to post.
I will start checking deliveries later this week

I apologize for my lengthy delay in providing an update - "life" has gotten in the way the past few weeks.

I received a wonderful gift from my Santa just prior to the Christmas holiday: a 2017 Canadian Maple Leaf silver bullion coin with the Canada 150 privy mark in a "floating frame" and a pair of colourized commemorative medals that are based on Canada's 2017 circulating commemorative dollar coin.

Thank you very much! I will post images as soon as I am able.

My apologies as well for not elaborating. My secret santa gifted me with a very nice 2013 Canadian mint set as well as a 1969 Canadian 50 cent piece, and some other cook Canadian coins as well as a colored one that glows in the dark. (Northern Lights design). They make a nice addition to my 20 for 20 Canadians that I've collected over the years.

Sorry for the couple day late reply;
I came back home friday evening and to my delight, my SS packet was waiting for me!
I received three things;
The first was a cool German interwar fifty pfennig (cent) note;
I have seen these before, but not paid much attention to them, but I had some fun using google translate to read/understand it...
The only bummer is that it got damaged in shipping :/

The second item I received was a slabbed 1974 RCMP silver dollar;
I believe this is from the 1973 prestige/proof set - either way, I didn't have one of these, and it is very nice!

But the third item I received is by far my favorite item, I received a graded 1902 Canadian large cent;
I didn't have this year (I am still missing a handful of them), and this is by far the nicest one in my collection right now.

I am very grateful for my gifts, and humbled by the though put into it.
... and here when I left for my week's visit to the in-law's in Prince George (B.C.), I figured that maybe my assignment was lost - and I was ok with that.


Thanks Rggoodie for arranging this!!

less than 10 to go

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




Edit: Sorry Rggoodie I posted this on the 22nd it must have gone unoticed due to Influx of posts during the holiday weekend
