Secret Santa

No S mint marks but the $1,000,000,000 note has a fancy serial number - 12251225. Do you think that's worth a premium? Maybe I should start a post in the currency forum.

Haha at the serial number....should correspond to the date of Christmas 12/25 12/25....wait a minute......

 

I opened my present on Christmas. It is a very nice Columbian Exposition Commemorative Half Dollar from RiverGuy. Thanks!

I had one of these once. It was in a large lot of silver coins that I bought, but I returned them because they weren't as advertised: "Premium lot, no junk, no culls, etc". I have been keeping an eye out for a good one at my LCS ever since then, but the one's I've found so far are either junk, or they are criminally overpriced and I don't like haggling.

The one RiverGuy sent me is in much better condition than that one was! I will post photos as soon as possible.

Thanks again!

 

Seems people wanted to see what the USPS did to my Secret Santa's slab, so here it is.... I'll repost when it comes back... Thanks again Santa!

 

glad you like it,

 

I'm still waiting to see pics

 

Ouch!

 

Damage like this happens when the envelope is sent at letter rate instead of parcel rate. The letter rate mail gets sent through a roller machine, anything oversized gets crushed.

 

It was sent in a normal #10 envelope, but it did have cardboard protecting it. When i sent it back, I had it in a padded envelope and the postage was exactly the same....

 

Got mine yesterday made a video and talked about the wrong forum ha ha. So no video this year. I got three 1968 D Kennedy halves gotta love silver thanks Santa! I was hoping to see my reciever post about what he got so i dont feel like i failed. I got him two things that i almost had to hang onto myself

 

pics, please???

 

Much thanks to my Secret Santa, "Goldmember", for his generous gift of a first year of issue 1971 40% silver Ike in the original issue blue envelope. Along with this super gift was an uncirculated Bicentennial 40% silver "S" minted Kennedy half dollar.

Thank you Goldmember:bow: and you certainly are one!!

Photos don't do the gifts justice.... both items are beautiful.

 

Guess who got their Secret Santa gift today .... THIS GUY!! I got a Cherrypickers Guide, 4th ed. Vol II which is great because I have a lot more dimes-dollars in my collection than copper pieces, 2/3 centers, and nickels!! It was probably the whole San Diego, CA to Fort Mill, SC thing that held it up (~2400 miles). Thank you so much ______ for the thoughtful gift and to Cannyn for setting this up. I'm in next year for sure! :high5:

 

Sorry...packing my house up, moving this week. Will try and get them up tonight!

 

That's odd. I made the mistake of sending coins letter rate a few years ago, the machine tore the coin right out of the envelope.

 

Here's Mine



Nickel trime and a 1956 D MS-60 quarter. Hot dang. Thanks.

 

Glad you liked it the 40% silver bicentennial set was my pick. My daughters picked out to add in the steel cents mint mark set as that's there favorite type of coin because there 'silver' wheaties.

 

Ive always wanted a trime! They are so cool!

 

I finally got around to taking pictures of my gift:


I usually don't get a kick out of this, but while I was cropping down these photos, I accidentally clicked on "Invert Colors". I think it looks a lot like a crusty old bronze type coin in a 2x2:



Either way you choose to look at it, it's a nice coin. Thanks a lot for a cool gift RiverGuy!
