Did you buy YOURSELF any coin Christmas prestents?

Hey you Michigan guys, I know, I visit my folks this year, wow.

Come on out to AZ, except the weather might shock ya, it was so cold today I had to wear a flannel !!!

I bet that dime is still worth something. All I have is a 1943-d Mercury dime.

 

I buy for myself all year long so I dont consider anything I would buy this time of year as present for myself. My wife told me that she bought me something nice for my collection. I cant wait to see what it is.

 

A while ago I had ordered the Hungarian "Elizabeth" coin (which commemorates the 800th anniversary of her birth) as it nicely complements my German coin issued on the same occasion. And just yesterday I received the Hungarian piece, so I consider that to be a Christmas present that I bought for myself.

The coin from Hungary --

ROTFLOL - NOW you know why I stick to the ethical sellers on e-bay and SHUN my local coin dealer!

Good one Taurus!

 

ya snitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

LOL.....its the Christmas season so I'll be nice and promise not to tell.

 

Received a nice order of misc. from the mint but they are all gifts for other people. I know better than to even go close to any coin shops or shows this time of year. It's always tempting but I have never been able to control myself. Plus, I have already been warned by the wife!!!

 

I got a scale so I can finally figure out which of my 1982 cents are copper. It's a cheap one and is only accurate to 0.1 gram, but it will serve the purpose.

 

I bought myself the redbook Flying Eagle and Indian Cents book by Rick Snow

 

1922 Plain Lincoln Cent in a MS grade. Now entire set from 09S to present all MS. Encludes MS 14D, 55 Double Die, 72 Double Die, etc. I tried to photo the entire album but didn't come out to well. I hate to remove the plastic slides to take the photos so everything comes out with to much glare. Will post the entire set when I figure out how to take the photos without all the glare.

 

PLEASE DO! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: IS the 09 S VDB in MS also? Wow. Those 14 D's are real hard to find in MS, and can get pretty pricey when you do.

Haven't been buying many coins lately, but I did buy this 1883 No Cents nickel a couple days ago. I guess it's kind of a gift to myself, for my Type Set.

Great move, any time that you buy a book.

I bought a 2007 Sacajawea proof. If I have any money left after Christmas, I'll head back to the coin shop.

 

At a new coin shop today, BU 1954 Quarter, VF 1932 Quarter, some wheat cents, a mercury dime, a buffalo nickel, and some others.

My brother and I dropped $30, I guess that is enough for a gift.

 

Well, I dont celebrate Christmas...
but recently I purchased 3 North Africa Notes (as seen in the paper forum "some of my notes" thread).

I've just bought myself a 1596 Taler of Saxony.....which is a pretty pricy coin for a YN

 

I bought myself a 1909s vdb NGC vf-35 from RARCOA!!!

 

not much but i bought myself a 1950D $10 in VF condition for $13.
