There's my favorite item of my Saturnalia gift from the otherforum, a huge 37mm./37g coin. A slab finally came in handy. It made a great spacer/stand for my photographs, which came out much better this time.
I received my package yesterday from Maine. I'm going to follow suit with the others and not open it until Christmas.
Calling to all participants. If you have not gotten or not sent your Gifts, please let me know via PM. I currently see a few that should be delivered in the next few days, a few just delivered but where I don't see a post here showing they were, and one that I am trying to make contact with to see if the gift had arrived (I was notified it was sent)
My incoming gift has arrived. My outgoing gift has been sent. I've got it hidden so I can't be tempted with looking until Christmas!
My SS gift arrived today and tracking shows that my sent gift has been received by the recipient. My work is done Now the waiting begins.
I cant take it. I opened my box to peak. I could tell there was a book in there. So now I had to know which book. This book is fascinating and I have looked at many of these coins, but never bought one. So this will be wonderful reading material. I’ll see how long I can hold out on the other wrapped items…..
Tsk, tsk. I’m 95% sure I’ve got a book, too (plus a second smaller parcel I’m less sure about). But I’ve been good and haven’t peeked.
I was naughty and opened mine immediately. However, that allowed me to use the weekend before to photograph everything and have the writeup ready.
I have a version of the So-Called Dollars reference as well. I love exonumia and have owned a few of these dollars over the years!
I'm anxiously waiting. My gift is so awesome that my SS is having trouble parting with it (just kidding) and that's why I haven't received it. Whatever the outcome of mine turns out to be, received or not, I'm ready to see what everyone gets. I hope y'all post pics of everything and maybe guess at who it's from. Hope everyone has a very good holiday. Best wishes to all. Amanda
A package for SilverMike arrived this week. It is under the tree, which is finally up too. Excited to see the contents next week!
