CoinTalk gift exchange (aka Secret Santa or Kris Kringle)

I can understand the interest for a birth year. My partner is just a teen still. So, his year was much to modern for my humble collection. I also asked him for the birth years of his parents (both much younger than myself). Turned out I had items issued on his parents birth year. I feel like they will be well received. I had a mint set on order that might be of cmans birth year, but it still is not here. So I sent another item that I think will go over well.

My only regret, I forgot to include the 100,000 bar of candy as a sort of stocking stuffer. I had a few on hand, but apparently had eaten them all. Oh well. The box is taped shut and has stamps on it ready for a trip to the USPS counter. I might be sending with signed receipt to be on the safe side.

Camlov2 and I were partnered up for the gift exchange. I received the gift today in the mail and it's awesome! I wasn't going to open it until Christmas but I couldn't wait and ripped it open.

Here it is:

Philip I 244 - 249 AD

AR Antoninianus mint in Roma
Obverse:
IMP PHILIPPVS AVG
(Philip I, Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right)
Reverse:
ANNONA AVGG
(Annona standing left, holding grain ears over galley prow and cornocopia)

 

I've done this at coinpeople and really enjoyed it

 

Glad you like it, buying coins for others can be stressful! Fun, but stressful.

 

mine was the first thing underneath my tree!

 

great idea! I would be in or is it too late?

 

Thoroughly enjoying my '63 proof set Kevo. I've had it out looking at it every day! Thanks bunches.

We need to do this again next year btw.

 

New Years Gift exchange?

 

And the day after New Year gift exchange.

 

I only mailed my gift to cman yesterday. I think he and I agreed to wait until both had their gift in hand. It is getting exciting. I hope my partner likes his. I sent him some of my favorites.

 

swish and I decided to wait until Christmas to open ours. They both wait for us underneath our respective trees

 

I got my gift today, my wife opened it.

I come in the door and she says "There was a package marked photos (don't bend), I opened it and it was a $20 bill"

More then just a $20, it is a 1929 bill from a SF bank which I collect.
And my first graded SF bill as well.

Thanks for a great gift! I am ready for the New years exchange!

 

How cool. Neat story. Glad it was in a graded sleeve. Some wives would have spent it. Lovely Note!

 

:angelbounce: Santa came by my house today!! My gift is under my tree, and I can hardly wait to open it!!! I am letting the suspense build, until I can stand it no longer!!!
That could be any moment now......

Happy Eve of Christmas Eve !!!!

Wow nice 20... bugood sent me some nice obsoletes and a medal.

 

:angelbounce: Merry Christmas everyone! I opened my Secret Santa gift last night (couldn't stand it any longer) and I want everyone to know that Santa nailed it! He and his elf sent me the nicest assortment of 'goodies' one could imagine. I still can't quite grasp it all, I am so overwhelmed! I am out of town beginning very early tomorrow morning (Christmas) so can't post pictures yet. But when I return in a few days, I will share with all of you what Santa and his elf sent me! Best of all, the true spirit of Christmas shines right through my gift -- they gave me what meant something to them, and I am tickled pink right now! Humbled actuallly. How kind..
Merry Christmas, Jody (Jallengomez!)

I love the WWII coins!!!

Thanks for a great gift and a lot of fun!!!
