Did you buy YOURSELF any coin Christmas prestents?

OK, today seems to be honesty day. Who bought a present for themselves that was coin related, and what was it?

Me? I bought a cpl books from Collectons that I really wanted.

I bought myself.... You ready? Are you sure? Ok........... Some new 2x2's!

 

aaarrrrggghhh. I bought a grab-bag of "heavily discounted" lower quality coins on the Internet (Not e-bay)

Total Price: $25
Total Price When I get It: PRICELESS (Jeez, I'm such a loser)

 

I already posted mine - or at least most of it. That 1914-S PCI 63 brown. I am happy.

 

Yes, and my name is Phoenix21 and I have a problem. Hey, I was good this year, I thought I deserved a few things for myself. That was of course after I bought Christmas gifts for everyone else in my family. I didn't save them until Christmas day though, I thought the surprise was kind of already gone. I got myself some lincolns, including my VF-20 24 D wheat cent, VF-20 12 D, Gem 39 S cent (haven't gotten it in the mail yet) along with a few other things.

Phoenix,

I'm jealous. Me and you joined at about the same time. I remember your first posts.

As for me, all I that I discovered is that my 1943-d Roosevelt dime has some rim nicks on it that I hadn't noticed earlier.

You've had a VERY good year. Congrats.

And I wish the best to all CT members!!!!!

 

Thank you Pocket Change. I appreciate the compliment. I honestly have nothing to be jealous of, I just try as I can. Thanks a lot man. It's funny going back and reading old posts though, seeing how much knowledge and everything I've learned since I've joined. Heck, the things I've learned in the past week.

I posted mine too - a 1931-S cent in XF

 

Let's see.
Wife finally back to work and we are getting back on our feet.

She bought me nothing and I returned the same. We did get through it though.

Buying myself a present doesn't seem real wise right now.


I did sell some stuff though so others got Christmas presents. Does that count?

 

Nothing bought specifically for Xmas.
Latest items purchased were one roll each of Idaho "P" and "D" quarters.
I crack them open and have a few family and friends I keep up to date.

 

I didn't get any, Arizona, so it's not too late to get me that '79CC in a 63 or 64 I've been wanting to add to my collection ... even if it arrives after Christmas I'll still be grateful all the same. You don't even have to wrap it! Thanks for asking ~ Merry Christmas!

 

Nothing for me this year. The disposable cash just isn't there. I have to sacrifice my collecting "needs" in order to be able to afford gifts for others. I'll have to rely on Santa Claus.

 

nothign for me for xmas. things in michigan are looking worse and worse, so we playing it safe. I will get xmas money as gifts though, so i am sure i will get something - or maybe hold onto it for the plethrua ofmint products being released. I still need to pick up this years Poarch Creek and Shawnee coins that were finannyl realeased a couple weeks ago.

 

I have been buying all year for me. : ) . In a week I start buying for me again, for next Christmas. Finished several sets this year, next year my goal is to finish the SLQ's (3) and Barber Dimes (5). That should put me solidly back in to the bust series. YEA....


Dagger, your right about the economy here in MI. I think out of 50 states we rank 51st in everything.

EXCEPT one. we are number 1 in unemployment!

 

Well, I was supposed to. Then I ended up paying for them myself... so I guess not. But I am hoping for some cash to take to the New York International. ::fingers crossed::

 

Psst:
Don't tell anyone: a 1909 S Indian, NGC XF-45.
(Back of bid.)

 

Two Canadian silver dollars. 1935 & 1936

 

Bought myself a early Xmas gift, 500 mixed world coins to sort got about 50 out of it for my collection.

 

I bought myself a book just yesterday..."Strike It Rich With Pocket Change." Got it for 40% off !

Oooooh Yeah! I am all set now!

I should be livin' large in no time !! :rolling:...:goof:

 

LOL.....I'm telling your wife Frank
