I also would like to extend my appreciation to Rgoodie for running such a fun exchange.

I was one of those who requested in-country-only this year as I was sick and afraid I would not have time to shop and ship internationally once I could go to the stores again. However, all that is done and I can send something to those who haven't received a gift, if another sender is needed.

Sorry to hear about the problems you suffered this season Richard.

I can, if needed to step up and help.

So, I finally have a bit of time to image up some of the coins I got from my Secret Santa - here are 3 of them:
A one ounce Silver Christmas token (commem?)
2 Sasebo Japan Challenge coins - one from the USS Green Bay and one from the Fleet activities unit.

Haven't received so far, but my match neither has received it! However, the tracking I have sent says it is in the country of the receivers, so he will receive it in the following days!

Nice ones, Dearborn! And what a coincidence that your Secret Santa sent you two coins from 1962!

Thanks Mike, but he sent me 6 1962 coins and a note stating that maybe I can use them in my birth year set. So I'm guessing that he is monitoring my progress with it too.
I'll be posting up the rest soon.

1962 Canada - 25 Cents
1962 Turkiye - 2˝ Lira
1962 Thailand - 1 Baht

And with these the Turkey goes into my Birth year collection!

Nice ones, Dearborn - your Secret Santa was most righteous!

YES - the portrait is on the reverse

On Mexico's coins, the Mexican coat of arms is always the obverse, just as on coins with a UK monarch the effigy is always the obverse.

Similarly. The last update was on December 18th. The most interesting thing is that the parcel is still not in the recipient's country. She is at an intermediate point. I hope that she will arrive after the new year.

Just a suggestion for those in the US shipping international. Pirate Ship has been a life saver when I've traded/sold coins when buying USPS postage and they offer a pretty decent rate on UPS shipments and get the paperwork setup for international shipments.

And now for the Final 3 I got from Santa!
I had to do a lot of research on these oldies. the first 2 are from Islamic States of Indonesia During the Reign of Muhammad Bahauddin:

1788 AD or 1202 AH Muhammad Bahauddin
1 Pitis
made of Tin.

and:
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces109644.html
made of a tin and has a casting sprue still attached.
1710-1778 AD Sultanate of Palembang
1 Pitis

This next one is now by far my oldest coin by at least 300 years and weighs in at 4.2 g

950-1050 AD Gadhaiya Paisa
1 Drachm
