This is probably the first time I have ever posted in this forum.  Our member and friend trout1105 sent me a care package recently. I was only expecting the one coin ( mentioned here), but he told me he was going to include a few things to "fill the gaps" in my Aussie collection (which was only three coins, a 1938 penny, a 1966 Two Cent, and a 1983 Two Cent). Well, I was quite surprised (and humbled) when this showed up at my desk today...  I will get some better photos as time permits. Thank you again, trout.  |

You are most welcome Jbuck, I know that these coins will be appreciated. I couldn't see the point in sending just one coin when there was room for more in the package  |

Just in case anyone is wondering, the mint sets and PCGS slab will remain intact. Shocking, I know!  This is my first slabbed coin. I have said I will eventually have to crack slabs to fill Dansco holes, but I do not have a hole to fill here. |

HeHe I sent you a slabbed Captain Cook and one in the original plastic case that these Specimen coins were issued in so that you can get a good look and "Feel" of this coin without having to crack the Slobbed coin  |

I noticed that. I have not taken it out yet... **shake** **rattle** **tap** **spin** ... ***slide***Oh, nice! I think this one will get a 2x2 for the Aussie page and the case will find a spot in the big box with all of my US OGP materials. |

Well when the poles reverse, we will almost be on top of the world. Unless they change magnetic definitions.
