Every year since I was young boy a.I have gotten a coin in my Xmas.here is mine from my son! a small date 1830 Bust Half
I didn't get a coin, but my five year old got a mint proof set of the cents. He's been looking through boxes in vain for LP4, so he's ecstatic.
My christmas coin is undecided, I got 300.00 cash and am thinking about a gold coin or maybe a full set of Eisenhower Dollars. I will let yall know soon it is burning a hole in my pocket.
i posted my gift coins a while ago http://www.cointalk.com/t81183/ but on the other hand i did get a digital caliper and scale. tested them on some worn out 1849 gold eagle. came up 16.23/5g and 26.96/7 mm so i think im good.
Other way The wrappings were pulled off~I got a new Black Book from my stepson, Morgan. He got a harshly cleaned 1882 Morgan. He loves bright shiny things. Then he asked if it was the from San Fran or New Orleans? Seems the mint mark was not too clean through the AirTight. So we looked it up in my new BlackBook. ....hummmm.....Merry Christmas.
My xmas presents to myself were in this thread. Looks like you got a nice bust half and several others got nice christmas presents also.
Buy a gold coin in a slab IMO you should get a $2.50 Indian gold piece in MS61/62 for your $300. I bought one in a PCGS slab for $300 about 1-month ago. I'm VERY happy with it. For Christmas this year I bought myself a set of uncirculated Greenland coins from the 1920s & 1940s. They are posted here http://www.cointalk.com/t83914/ Merry Christmas.
