    Thanks for the updates, Sal.

    PS- oh, so you got that big Bahrain coin. I thought that was interesting and shoved it in the package. Didn't look it up.

    You're Welcome! Can you please get me started on those Russian coins? Where would I start to ID them? Or is it almost impossible?

    I wouldn't say it's impossible. But all of the information I have about them was posted in the prize announcement. There's a link to an info page in that post.

    Aha. There ya go. I just never got 'round to it. That was in one of my random boxes of stuff.

    So not a high-dollar coin, but I didn't really expect it to be. Still, it's kinda cool.

    That happens a lot these days. I was sitting on quite a pile of unsorted, unsearched World coins. In fact, when I found out my Secret Santa recipient does World, I boxed up about 80% of my unsorted World stash and sent it to her. Maybe she'll find something good in there. There was over six pounds of stuff.

    Thanks for the link, again. I looked at the web pages, but it all looks Greek to me and I'm Italian. :rolleyes:
    Maybe I'll just accept them as they are, Silver and historical.
    BTW: I now have over 25 counterstruck coins. I'm planning on setting some of my duplicates go into either the "wild" or to friends/relatives. :joyful:

    LordM! Now you just narrowed down your recipients name? No? Oh well, there has to be at least a half a dozen females here. ;)

    Oh well. :facepalm::muted:

    Somebody's probably gonna figure out it was me, anyway. There's one of those Churchill crowns in the Secret Santa lot. I removed the backpaper with my name on it from the flip, but once everybody sees who's been scattering Churchill crowns all over the place, the cat's gonna be outta the bag anyway, right? ;)

    I bought a bag of 100 UNC Churchill crowns a while back, because it was at a price I absolutely could not refuse. Besides, they're kinda fun.

    Merry Christmas, everyone. The time for the final drawing has come, and with it, we will wrap up this contest. We will of course still continue to watch as the shipped items eventually make their way to the remaining winners who haven't gotten their goodies yet.

    Stand by... firing up the random number generator...
