i got this for my birthday this year. only coin i've ever received as a gift, until the secret santa program on here. can't wait to open it up on saturday! aethelred ii (978-1016) penny, crvx type (c.991-c.997)
I'm hoping I get some good stuff for Christmas, or some money to buy some good stuff. I've gotten a 1996 ASE, 2009 Abe Lincoln commem., and some other randoms as gifts. Everything is great, just nothing tooooo interesting yet!
The only time I would get a coin as a gift is if I gave one to myself. No one else who would even consider giving me a gift would know enough to give me a coin.

Coinmaster1, your family wouldn't happen to be considering adoption anytime soon, would they? A very Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Nice gifts everyone! Love the seated Lugia. Sadly my mom said that my coins related Christmas list was boring and I could get most of it one my own =[ oh well. Still got some wonderful presents.
yea its great. a dealer that we goto alot had gotten a few new pieces that he probably didnt show to many other people. my dad got that MS coin at a AU price. its a bummer that your mom didnt take your wanting coins for christmas seriously. i cant think of much anything else that i would want.
No coins, but I did get a few books: "Whitman Encyclopedia of US Paper Money", and "Obsolete Paper Money".
Happy holidays CT! No coin related gifts, yet! Xmas gifts go pre 25th and post around my parts. Lots of gift cards and dough that could go to such a gift though! Rolls I'm thinking! I've never bought my own rolls from the bank strictly for looking for coins I would collect! Excited much.
I recieved a 1969d $.50, 1942 & 1964 $.25, and a 1959 $.10 from my girlfriend's mother (from circulation at a grocery store). My girlfriend gave me Danscos for my uncirculated set of P&D Statehood & Territories set and my Kennedy half unc set. I gave a 2006 Silver Eagle PCGS PR69 DCAM to my girlfriends son (birth year).
