Santa came right before Christmas, but life got hectic and I wasn't able to take pics until just now.

You are absolutely right, Santa - You can never go wrong with some good 90% silver!

PATIENCE

Patience is the ability to endure difficult circumstances. Patience may involve perseverance in the face of delay; tolerance of provocation without responding in disrespect/anger; or forbearance when under strain, especially when faced with longer-term difficulties.

We "kids" who have asked Secret Santa to include us
in his rounds may face disappointment when we go to the mail box each day and find it empty. Fear not. We are not forgotten.

And, if our mail box is never to be filled, well, let us think of those who are hungry or facing homelessness.

It could be a lot worse...

Well looks like I know the issue with the late delivery. This gift was supposed to have a relatively short trip going past only one state in the Midwest and somehow ended up in Los Angeles this morning. How it ended up 2000 miles from where it should be, no idea. Lol. At least it's no longer MIA.

My secret Santa would have sent the letter/parcel to my post office box.
I only get to the post office about once a week and the mail has been late as of recent.
So, I hope to get there later this week.

Tick me off the list, please.

The temporary postgirl dropped Santa's package at my neighbour before Christmas.

They've been quarantining their post and forgot to tell me until today.

Santa sent me several modern Canadian coins: 2 dollars and 50 cents denominations; I'll post pictures when I've got the scanner working.

Thank you very much, Santa.
Rest in Peace

The elf delivered the wee packet to me today.

It was quite a colourful packet to start with!

First thing attracted my attention is Secret Santa's lovely note especially his or her handwriting! It does remind me of my relatives' handwriting back home in Ireland and the UK. I am very delighted to see such handwriting!

I am surprised by the present which was a slabbed penny! I meant the US cent. I never heard of ANACS before as I only know about PCGS.

This coin I would have to do a lot of research on as I do not understand some terms on this slab.

Many thanks for this interesting coin that will keep me busy in the New Year! Thank YOU, Secret Santa!

My personal elf told me that my packet is still en route. The receiver will get the packet in the New Year.

This elf and I would like to apologize for the long delay which is beyond our control. It is our understanding that the postal facility in Baltimore is very backed up with all the packages and other mail pieces.

It is our hope that this coin will give you a good luck for the new year! &&🙏;

I wish everyone here best wishes for a Happy New Year! May it be much kinder to us!

SilverCents,

The question here is how much happiness should I be? :)

That means I would have to research more on this cent and see why you said that as well.

Thank you for giving me an hint!

Many, many thanks to my Secret Santa for sending an amazing penny based on what SilverCent said! Now I am a bit embarrassed about getting a special coin!

I shall take a good care of it!

Again, Happy New Year to all of us!! Let's hope 2021 would be better for all of us!

Oh you don't know the start of it! That coin is a remarkable one, it was the reason we switched to single squeeze hubbing!
