I received my gift on Christmas eve and saved it to open the next day. I was thrilled with the book as I don't have this one and the coins tokens included will give me an opportunity to do some research. The Lucky Token is very nice and my first. Thank you secret Santa - I threw away the envelope but from what I recall it was from New York - I am very happy. Thank you!

Meant to post the other day, but I received my gift the other day. Thanks so much, Secret Santa, whomever you are!

Things were crazy before Christmas, but I sent my gift out today, so it should arrive in time to be a New Year's gift.
So, if your name is on the not-yet-received list, do not despair! Gifts are still en route!

I sent my gift out last weekend, I hope that it did not get stuck in the drop off mail chute.

Yeah, it's odd if my gift hasn't arrived yet, considering it was sent out a couple of weeks ago. I sure hope someone at the post office didn't decide to take a peek at it themselves.

Santa came today!     The return address was: Santa's Little Shop On Top of the World North Pole No clue there. Inside was a Barber half dollar. OK. Nothing special. Wait, it has an 'S.' WAIT, the 'S' is upside down! OH MY, I never knew that this existed. Although this is not the coin, the 'S" looks like this:  Gee, I wonder what I would have received if I had been a good boy!

matthewvincent Would a mailman notice ?
On one occasion, my brother in Derby, England sent a letter to a cousin in Denver. It was undelivered, our cousin had moved to Chicago and forgotten to tell us. The returned letter went first to Kansas, then to Vermont, before some realised that it had a British stamp, and wrote on it: Try Derby, England !

Pertinax, At this time of year that is a possibility. But the cancellation looks like it was done by hand. Derby is a common town/city name along the east coast. I was born in Derby CT.

Someone from a place that isn't Halifax sent me a bunch of mixed world coins!   ^ Four countries I didn't have before   FAO token  Some nice coins from fairly obscure countries  Bimetallics  Norwegian circulating commemorative   Some more neat coins  Krause put this at $65...  However, before I could mail Santa a $50, ebay results are closer to $10. Still...   The rest! Merry Christmas
