Congrats, Paul. What a nice wife!
No surprises on my end, but my wife - who is incredibly supportive and patient - has allowed me to indulge. I've got some goodies coming from various sellers.

A very nice surprise indeed, Paul. That will keep you busy for a while. My surprises were of vintage fluid variety. My family knows me only too well.  Merry Christmas all. Jim |

Nice one Paul. While this Bedoukian wasn't a surprise for me to unwrap this morning, it was still nice to be able to start my learning process.  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

I really should be asking "Santa" for numismatic literature, since she is a retired library science professional. Quote:

No surprises, but I did get the go ahead from the wife to buy a reproduction of a Roman Gallic H Centurion helmet and I might sneak in a Gladius sword. Made by Deepeeka, they are historically accurate and not cheap. So I've been waiting for awhile.  |

..Looks to be an interesting reference book Spence, I seem to remember you have a few of these coins? Is it an area you intend to collect more in? Quote:

The best Single Malts come from Skirtland Jim! Enjoy!  A bit of an eclectic mix actually, Paul. A nice vintage crusted Port to go with the Stilton, a smooth twelve year old vintage Venezuelan rum to go with the coffee, Bells (in a bell), and a Beinn Dhub (Black Mountain) Speyside single malt. That lot will keep the cockles of my heart warm for a while.  |

Then I saw it for sale in the most recent Frank Robinson auction but someone with deeper pockets overbid me so I picked up a different copy from the American Book Exchange.
