Yes.

 

Umm, OK.

 

I'm leaving tomorrow morning, 23 Dec, for the Washington D.C. area to spend Christmas with my son. So I broke down and opened my SS envelope this evening. Thank you Santa. Here is what was in the envelope. I haven't had time to research any of them, but I did take some quick images:
Anonymous Issue Byzantine


Salonina


Replica Tiberius Denarius

 

That's a pretty cool gift ya' got Bing! Have fun in D.C. and travel safe.

 

I do not look forward to the annual trip to my son's house. Every year I say it's the last time. But then again, I don't have a voice in the matter.

 

Wheeee, my Secret Santa gift arrived today. Looks good-- hopefully I can snap some pics before holiday travels.

I don't think my present has made it to its destination yet although it was sent three weeks ago

 

I think it will come sometime...this time I am going to try wishing upon a star.

 

Yay!! My secret Santa gift arrived YAY!!! Thanks Santa and its a type I don't have. Awesome!!!!

 

My photo of the Secret Santa, I know who my SS was and hes the man!!

 

Got mine too!! It's a chunky bronze from Syria and I don't already have one. Thanks, Secret Santa!

Great pictures, Noob!

 

You guys keep opening your gifts before Christmas. Very naughty!

 

Great coin and picture!

 

awesome presents, you all must have been good boys and girls this year.

be careful on the road folks! you guys on the east coast don't have to worry about snow at least. may want to pack a pair of shorts!

 

Yeah, and it's damn queer. I don't like it one bit, except for the fact that I'm going to spend much less on heating oil this year.

 

No snow => oh well, give it your best effort anyways, eh?

 

My SS gift arrived today safe and sound. I planned to wait till Christmas morning but curiosity got the best of me... I would like to thank my Santa. I love the coins very much. I'm just starting out In this field of coins and these will be the very first in my collection. What a kick start...I can see why these are addicting coins to collect! Thank you once again! Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas...
And since its Dec 23rd... Happy Festivus !
