    I only want my recipient to know I'm the giver if he or she likes the coin. o_O:)

    Well then it's settled. Send me your recipient's coin and I'll take a look at it for you, and if I think your recipient would like it then I'll make sure to let him know how much I'm enjoying it...and that's it! You surely didn't expect me to send it back or pass it forward if I liked it.:rolleyes:

    Wow, what a great friend, and a true giver. How can I say no to such a great offer?

    Hey folks, this is the last day to sign up for Secret Saturnalia. I have a handful of names that I will assign at the end of the day. If you want to join, send me a PM with your mailing address.

    Just wanted to report that my coin arrived - I was confused at first since the envelope came from a dealer friend of ours, but the code 'CT-SS' in the bottom right made it clear what it is. I have not yet opened it, so I will wait until the 17th to report on its contents. Thank you Saturnalia!

    The gift from me was ordered nearly 2 weeks ago and shipped from the vendor directly to the recipient without any notes about SS or sender ID. Something unexpected arrive for you? It may be from me. All will be revealed in a few more weeks.

    I hope I'm your Secret Santa next year. I'd hook you up with a sweet coin and some Cuban cigars.

    Thanks for the generous gifts. They will be cherished for a long time.

    To be honest, it's because of members here such as yourself. I've always enjoyed giving more than recieving but when it came to my coins I couldn't think of giving them away or selling them either.
    I never have "won" anything, but when you sent me this

    At the first of this year I was moved. Since then I've gifted away several from my modern collection and more are planned for the near future. But when it comes to my ancients I still have a hard time parting ways.
    The second coin well I will explain at another more appropriate time.

    I got my member assignment yesterday and started the hunt for something they'd like. The #1 option was out of my price range so I dug around a little more and just purchased a coin I hope they like. Delivered to me by Dec 8th, then on to its forever-home after that.
