Gary Burke Rest in Peace United States 3730 Posts	Posted 09/29/2007 01:03 am My wife and I had just returned from camping at Blue Mesa Reservoir (western Colorado) today, when the mail arrived. Wow! Being someone who thinks he has seen it all, I couldn't believe my eyes as the letter carrier started handing me packages. Here's what arrived. --halfabustisbetter and I decided to trade coins. He feared the package containing Canadian cents was lost. Well, it arrived -- sort of. The package had broken open, and the contents -- all those Canadian cents as well as an Australian One Cent -- had to be delivered in a plastic bag. The good news is that all coins were there! --triggersmob sent some great coins from Australia, including a brand new $20 banknote. Coins included a "double bar" 1979 50 Cent Piece, and 10 commemorative dollars. What a wonderful package from Steve. I am so appreciative. --gregk's package, also from Australia, was the third one handed to me. "Spectacular" is the only word I can think of to describe the coins he sent. Just to name a few of the beautiful coins his package contained: QE2 Coronation Golden Jubilee 2003 50 Cent Piece; Royal 60th Wedding Anniversary 2007 50 Cent Piece; Royal Visit 2006 50 Cent Piece; QE2 80th Birthday, 2006 50 Cent Piece; 1990 and 1995 mint sets. --Coin order from C&C Coins which included coins to catch my Sacagawea set (with proofs) completely up-to-date, and the 2008, 2009, and 2010 Australian One Ounce Lunar coins, to bring that set up-to-date, and complete. I also purchased the same three coins for our oldest son, to complete his set. And finally, I stopped by the regional FedEx office and inquired about my Jefferson First Spouse coins. Not only did they have them, but they had my daughter's as well. So, I picked up both boxes. Due to cost, I doubt I will ever buy another "First Spouse" coin, but these are very attractive, especially the proof. So, that's it. Not a bad haul for one day! I am enjoying myself tonight, placing many of the coins in their new homes. Quite a day for mail! And FedEx! Edited by Gary Burke 10/02/2007 10:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 09/29/2007 11:27 am You should have ran out and bought all the lottery tickets you could afford. So much luck in one day might not have ended yet. Lots of nice coins. So where is that place called Colorado? Distant suburb of Chicago? Report this Post to the Staff

Gary Burke Rest in Peace United States 3730 Posts	Posted 09/29/2007 6:36 pm It's a day later and I'm still thrilled by the coins which came in the mail yesterday. I have work to do this weekend, as well as Monday, but I intend to find time to work with the coins I received, and place many of them in albums. Thanks to yesterday's mail, I have completed my Australian Lunar Series, caught my Sacagawea set up-to-date, and am very, very close to bringing my Australian 20 and 50 Cent Piece sets up-to-date. In addition, the Canadian cents I received have renewed my interest in that series, so I'll dig out my old Whitman Albums and work on them also. Once again, what a fabulous day it was for mail. Sincere thanks to halfabustisbetter, gregk, and triggersmob. Report this Post to the Staff
Gary Burke Rest in Peace United States 3730 Posts	Posted 10/02/2007 10:43 pm Seems like we keep coming home to good mail. Just got back from Denver where we watched the Rockies win the tie-breaker baseball game and advance to the National League Division Series. Waiting for me was a package from muckeye, containing a nice $5 Australian note and several very attractive coins. Thanks Bob, your package was much appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff
