Post here any coins or currency you received for the holiday season either from a loved one or from someone from this forum, or you went and bought it yourself  I'll start it off. Received 6 US Large Cents (1824x2 both AG, 1828 holed, 1829 poor, 1847 (nice F), 1848 cull) in the mail from an ebay transcation. This was my present to myself. Filled one of the holes in my collection (1824). Edited by mycrob

Unless I stumble across some of the Buffs I am looking for, I think that I am going to wait to buy myself my x-mas presents. There is an auction coming up around here that has yet to set a date, but they already have a ton of nice CC Morgans and some nice capped busts, so I might just wait for that unless I find something I really can't live without.

I got a 200frf from a trade from a jeweler who needed some coins to make a bracelet. I felt bad and told her the real value of the note and the coins, but she just smiled and said "Merry Christmas"  |

I sent away my 1866 IHC to PCGS for a late X-mas present. I will get it back sometime in March :( |

I just used my Christmas Bonus to buy the 2007 and 2008 Silver Proof Mint Sets. They are nice to look at but no real investment.

I recently accepted a position with a Security Company, we work mostly on Perimeter Security Systems in Prisons. To make a long story short I've not had a day off since I started.

My uncle showed me last week about a hundred rolls of wheaties that he has been saving over the years. He use to be a collector and life (children, business and family got in the way)..so I bought him a Dansco Lincoln Cent Book to fiddle around with, hopefully he get's the fire burning again. |

Besides my secret Santa gift, The coins I get for Christmas are rolls to look through. Both on my side of the family and on my wife's side we all get together to celebrate Christmas. At both parties I am told I'm the easy gift because they know they can give me money in the form of cent and nickel rolls. I look through the rolls and then what is left over I have to buy a coin. This year I have $168 to look through and then spend. On top of that, my wife gives me a wrapped box each Christmas with all of the stuff she pulls out of circulation during the year and saves for me. This year there were star notes, wheat cents, nickels (1958 and before) and silver coins. So I always have a fun filled coin Christmas.

Hey MTN, have fun with that curve. I got one and it changed my life! I got 5 rolls of dateless buffalos, a loupe set, a coin collecting stocking (from Borders), and a bunch of accessories for my curve. Merry Christmas everyone!!
