Tanman2001 - I think those are one of the prettiest ever sets any mint has packaged. I own a 1080 and a 1989 same leather-bound Canadian sets and the artistic approach, materials in mint packaging and the coins themslves are absolutely beautiful.

Thank you Secret Santa for putting my wish list to good work, I appreciate the 5 wheat rolls, with each having an ender that was an Indian Head cent. Very thoughtful gift, much appreciated!

Just received mine! 1p-50p coins, along with a nice commemorative! Reminds me of the few times I've visited London! I'm happy to add the 5 pounder to my collection of commemoratives! Thanks Secret Santa!

@ SilverCents that set you have makes the shield seen on the 1 pound coin, nice set congrats.   I can't make out what's on your 5 pound coin. Don't know why pics are not showing?

Quote: Don't know why pics are not showing? Some browser configurations are blocking mixed content. That is, secure and insecure elements on the same page. The main CCF site is secure (https) while the gallery is not (http). I have no problems seeing them, but others do. Chrome seems to be the worst at picking these nits. Try Firefox, which is what I use for CCF.

They aren't the greatest of pic's, but here are the loons Santa sent me. Thanks Santa. All of the coins are still mint sealed except for the 2020 UN loons. Very nice. 1st up is the regular loons. 1991, 1867-1992, 1996, 2003 W, 2006 No Logo and 2009. All just beautiful.  Olympic loons next. 2012, 2014 and 2016. Very nice.  The UN loons are way nicer in hand than I was thinking.  2 commems, 1911-2011 Parks and 1916-2016 Womens Right to Vote. A 1968 nickel dollar. It's the black sheep of the cry.  Thanks again Santa.

Are you sure you would have the patience? 13 days to get these up. I let the wolf out of the bag on another thread, so I can say silverwolf was my Santa. Thanks wolfy.  . I still don't know how you knew what I would like.   .

I can't stop giggling...! Is it possible? That I was matched with the SAME recipient as I was assigned? I LOVE the card! Three florins and a ha' penny. Those darling kangaroos.. But sadly... No socks. (Maybe next year....)
