Well, tomorrow (9/2) is the official "big day" for my daughter, but I couldn't wait any longer. She's going to have a bunch of friends over for a party, so I also figured crazy young girls and lots of loose coins wouldn't mix.

We let her open one present a day early, and it was a box full of coin treasures that originated around the world, and were gifted from around the US & Canada!

Here are pictures as promised:

Here's everything she got:

US Coins/Tokens:
- 1825 Large Cent (from the "trade up" thread)
- 1907 Indian Head cent (100 years before her date of birth!)
- 1941 Mercury dime (her first circulated silver!)
- 1969 Philadelphia mint token
- 1976 P & D Bicentennial Quarters - Uncirculated
- 1978 Ike dollar
- 1985 Lincoln Cent with a heart stamped on the obverse
- 1986 Statue of Liberty Commemorative Half Dollar
- Lincoln cents - offset die stamps (2)
- 1999 P & D Quarter Sets - Uncirculated
- 2007 American Silver Eagle - Part of the group contribution
- 2007 US Proof Set (all 14 coins) - Part of the group contribution
- 2007 US Proof Quarter set

US Dollar Bills:
- 1995 WEB Note
- 2006 Star Note

Other
1985 Costa Rica - 5 Colones
1992 Costa Rica - 10 Colones
1985 Costa Rica - 20 Colones
1993 Liberia 1 Dollar (Nolan Ryan commemorative)
1989 UK - 1 Penny
1997 UK - 1 Penny
1990 UK - 2 Pence
1991 UK - 5 Pence
19? - Coin from Eastern Asia I haven't identified yet

A-Very-Numismatic-6th-Birthday!

What a great day.

Extra special thanks to Earle42 for getting this idea off the ground! What started out as me trying to trade up to a 2007 US Proof Set ended up something much bigger. God bless you all and many thanks on behalf of my daughter from a humbled daddy.

-Steve
