Well - I got some cash for Christmas which I quickly converted to coins - all Lincolns!

The big one this year was a 1931-S PCGS MS-63 RB. Been wanting one of those for a while.

Also got a 1932 and 1933-D in BU condition - mostly red in probably the MS-63/64 range.

Finally got a 1921 - uncirculated but got a little wipe years ago - nice overall though and got a really good deal on a tougher date.

Here's my first gold coin I got this Christmas. This is also my first attempt to take a pic of a coin.

@Jbuck...maybe you can help me figure what I did wrong in posting an image. I tried following the instructions on the the "rules" page and used imageshack. I copied the Direct link and placed the link in between . tags since I couldn't find an image icon box on the quick reply window. The image showed up last night, but it got deleted this morning. I'm sure I'm missing something in my steps. Would appreciate a hand on this. How do you turn on the HTML? Ty - chuckpb (noob-mismatist)

Is the image still on imageshack, because what I see is it looks like imageshack removed your photo.

@nod2003 - thanks for your help. I actually deleted the image myself from imageshack after posting the pic here in the forum. Hopefully this should work now.

My mother sent me a small brown paper sack with a note on it that basicly said, "here are some coins I picked up for you a few years back......and forgot to send to you."
It was some basic stuff, but there was a 2001 and a 2002 American Silver eagle in there and it has inspired me to look into starting a collection of the ASE's.
Thanks for asking! Paul.

No coins but my wife did get me the 1901-2000 Standard Catalog of World Coins so if you see me wandering around on the darkside, blame my wife
