Computer back up after a virus and things are settling down from after the holidays.... So I can finally thank my very generous Santa Received a scale , 2 proof sets (80 n 81), a 2019 Silver Maple-leaf (stunning), 4 wooden "nickels" (I have a small collection from childhood to add them to), a casino chip, a couple of transportation and telephone (?) tokens...will need to do some research, should be able to find some wonderful info and history on them. A US Mint canvas bag labeled for $25.00 in quarters, think I'll store my W quarters in it. Then what I find to be the neatest of all, a 1990 Christmas pudding coin from the Australia Royal Mint...I plan on displaying it during every Christmas from here on out...Again THANK YOU Secret Santa (well no so secret but I'll keep that between he and I) Thank you again kind Sir.....

@arianzo Quote: I suppose it's possible that my Canadian gift recipient will never post receipt of their gift. Their last post at the CCF was 11/18/2022. I hope they are well and just talking a break from the forum. I was just following the posts that had me/us question weather or not you were ok? Things happen to folks...I was just hoping that nothing bad happened...It really wasn't meant to offend you and I'm truly happy you got to spend extra time with your family during the Christmas holiday! "still" smat

@arianzo - glad you are well, spent extra time with family and have received the gift. I was getting a little concerned for your well being.
I ask that you observe the cent in that 1976 proof set. It exhibits a gorgeous obverse toning that often happens to these coins that remain in the original packaging. Enjoy

OK, like I said, I received my Secret Santa gift today and oh boy am I happy! Looks like Santa knows me very well. I received an uncirculated set of Britain's first decimal coins. The coins in this set are particularly attractive and held up well after 50 years, especially the bronze coins. Also received two Canada gift card sets featuring some beautiful uncirculated coins from 2021 and 2022. Canada always had such attractive coin designs and these look great. Next up are 2 commemorative dollar coins from 2020. One is colourized, the other not, both are new to me and will fill some KM#s in my binders! Also received a great 1876 Canada one cent coin. It's a real beaut with nice color and detail. Last, but certainly not least, received 2 1965 dollar coins. These are some of the nicest coins out there, a great series! This pair comes in the original cello and look great in hand. I'm very very happy wih my gifts and thank Santa a thousand times over for the thought and effort. Also many thanks to @rggoodie for managing the exchange once again. Can't wait tll next Christmas!

Apologies for being so slow this year but I have been sick the last few weeks. Both of my missions have been sent and one should be arriving tomorrow.
Thank you to my Secret Santa! The sent me a beautiful First Strike 2022-W PCGS PR69 DCAM Silver eagle! I do not have many ASEs and this is easily the most beautiful example I have! Thank you!
EDIT: This is also my first uncirc W coin.
