My gift has arrived but I am going to torment myself for a few days before I open it, saving the surprise for Christmas morning. Please mark me received.

Those are some nice looking Canadian cent coins.

I presume that my secret Santa present arrived and if so I have a fairly good idea of who it is because of some of the items.

A lot of Canadian coins coming in. Santa must have stopped in at the Canadian Mint and gathered up some coins..

Was surprised with another amazing gift this evening from another member. I have never had the chance to look at a liberty half or Merc dime in person and these are spectacular coins. My photos don't do the coins justice especially the Mercury dime but the gift made my week(life's been hectic to say the least)

Beautiful coins and an amazing surprise that left me without words, other then these words....and those words...You get the picture I hope

Hope everyone's holidays go well, unfortunately I'm quarantined ATM and had to cancel Christmas plans. So it will just be me,the misses and our son. Which is more then enough love and warmth for a great Christmas.

Edit:sorry I took the photos in the holder, didnt have time to glove up.

Fantastic gifts so far!

@Santa, I visited the mailbox today and I have received my gift! Cross me off the list, please. I haven't opened it yet but will post photos when I do.

Also, my gift went OUT today (sorry, Secret Santa is running behind this year) and should arrive sometime after Christmas, next week. Just think of it as extending the holiday.

Happy Holidays and Merry Chrismas y'all!

Well, My 'Santa' gift (the real one came in today) It had a bit of a trip as the address on it was wrong the FEDEX delivered it to the wrong address. I was home when I got the delivery alert and dropped everything to go get it. BUT it was nowhere to be found. Contacting my 'Secret' Santa we coordinated a MASSIVE search of the area. I got the address from my Santa, and went over and knocked on their door. After a bit of trouble communicating (Language barrier here - I don't speak or understand Spanish) So I called up my dual language speaking friend and explained the situation and he talked to my Neighbors. Yes My neighbor directly across the street from me - Which was good .
They said they got it and handed it over to me.
So! without further adieu Here is my real Secret Santa Gift:

Even though the Bill was printed in 2018, I'm fairly certain the Queen Elisabeth does not quite look like that anymore.

Dearborn that's Viola Irene Desmond (July 6, 1914 - February 7, 1965) was a Canadian civil rights activist and businesswoman of Black Nova Scotian descent. In 1946, she challenged racial segregation at a cinema in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia by refusing to leave a whites-only area of the Roseland Theatre. For this, she was convicted of a minor tax violation for the one-cent tax difference between the seat that she had paid for and the seat that she used, which was more expensive. Desmond's case is one of the most publicized incidents of racial discrimination in Canadian history and helped start the modern civil rights movement in Canada.

My Santa did enclose a fact sheet on this bill, but I had not read it... until now..

Santa informed me that he had delivered my parcel with gifts. So I'm waiting here for a message from a participant.
