A Christmas Present

My eldest son decided to buy me a coin for Christmas. I wonder how he knew about my hobby. Hmmmmm? It looks much better in hand than this image, but don't we all say that? I think he knows his old man pretty good.

Very thoughtful of him. I didn't get any coins from family but I did get money from my parents, which I will put to good use in a couple of weeks at FUN

 

Awesome gift, Big-bro (sounds like your kid nailed your gift, eh?)

I got a sweet GoPro ...

although I want it for mountain biking, this baby can also go underwater to 10m (hopefully I don't get myself into trouble at the lake this summer!!)



Well, I'm off to the brother in-law's for Christmas dinner ... Ho-Ho-Ho

 

I can honestly say I have never seen a coin photo taken with a Go Pro. Now I have something to look forward to in the new year.

 

That is a very thoughtful gift from your son and one that has extra special meaning now. Tell him we all say "well done!"

 

Nice coin, JW. I like it.

 

Fantastic gift! And a Quinarius at that! ( I like to get those little guys...)

I did come HOME today to a coin I purchased that was in my mailbox! Felt like it was an Xmas to me! But no coins given at Xmas... Hmmm, got about $50 in eBay cards that I might spend on coins from my trusted Sellers...

 

That was really special Bing!
I do not have any sons...but my stepdaughter gave me this for Christmas (I may offend certain folks...its not ancient) but still nice....My wife knew I wanted the coin St. James Auctions/but I had to work and would miss auction. So, she bid for me and won it. However she said that she forgot and so the coin was lost. She then split the costs with Emily and so I had a "surprise" under the Fir tree.
AV Great Britain 1855 Sovereign Victoria YH/Shield MS-63/WW incuse variety.

 

No coins but got the newest edition of the Mega Red Book, 6,000 2X2's and the newest edition of Overstreet Price Guide to comics.

 

Nice gift @Bing! I did not get any coins for Christmas, but my husband is planning to accompany me to FUN in January, and he has said he would be amenable to buying me an ancient as my anniversary gift

 

On my last anniversary, my wife said she had me and that was ancient enough. Hrumph!!!!!!!

 

awesome presents everyone!

dang...I got socks.

 

That's a cool gift, Bing. I'm waiting for the day my son will buy me a coin. He's 4, so I may be in for a bit of a wait.

 

At least your feet will be warm when you go to your LCS.

 

Well.....I got 16 pairs of socks/2 pairs of gloves/snowmobile boots/shirt!
And....5 coins! Now, thats more like it!

 

No coins for Christmas but my wonderful wife bought me this Martin guitar GPCPA5K. It sounds just beautiful even though I am playing it.

 

@Bing - it is good to have someone who knows you!

My wife bought me a warm jacket so I will not freeze next month at the NYINC! I do not have one here. After all - they don’t have White Christmases in Houston
"White Christmases in Houston
by Branded in the Album - Merry Christmas from Branded

If you dream of horse-drawn carriages
Dashing through the snow;
Before you move to Texas
There’s something you should know…

That they don’t have White Christmases in Houston.

My grandson did say he knew what I collect and he bought me a big un -

16 oz of chocolate with a gold patina

 

I got a Japanese toilet seat. I'm not kidding.

 

Very cool! Always nice to receive coins from loved ones.

 

No coins, but got money. I guess I can always turn modern cash into an ancient coin.
