When youve waited all day for the mailman , a weekend hits and it slips your mind.You know a coin is due to arrive.2:30 in the afternoon id already given up again for the day.
But when you have that yellow padded envelope..unopened from its journey,stamps resplendent from the other side of the globe..aint it a buzz ?

yeah I get the buzz I can't wait for the mail man to arrive so I can get my coins right now I am dying to get the 2009 proof set that should be coming in the mail soon. i really get excited when I get coins from foreign countries I even saved an envelope I got from egypt because it had the pyramids and other designs on it. I'm weird like that  |

Dont quote me but I think that means it arrived at your local post office at 9:31am , probably too late to make it on the dudes truck for today.Id imagine youll get that tomorrow.

I totally get that buzz every time. But recently, it's been on packages I'm expecting from my familiy due to me leaving for Iraq in a little over a month now. I'm sure I will get even a bigger buzz waiting for something while I'm over there, but I don't see me making any coin orders and receiving any shipments for another year  Mike |

I quite often get that buzz, and have to run right out to my local coin store, or jump online, with whatever extra cash that I have and shop for some coins to satisfy that buzz.

I keep the stamps too. I currently have stamps from Albania, Greece, the Philippines, Singapore and China sitting on the corner of my desk. I give them to my brother who is the family stamp collector.

Thanks for that WpgLwr , I'm feeling a bit sheepish to admit ..er..i joined the Stamp forum first,i only looked in here one day some months back...pretty much got hooked. Now I'm just coin daft , on the bright side I do have a world book of 19th century and early 20th century stamps that id gladly put up for trade , I should think about that eh ? Ooops , edited to add , I was gonna say..buzzin again big style tonight , there might be a padded envelope tomorrow , all I know is there are 2 early walkers , a barber half , an au Barber quarter and a Seated dime..happy days , if not tomorrow ..before the weekend I hope  Edited by wetglaswegian
