    My favorite coin of all time is the Pan Pac $50 gold's. Hopefully some day I'll be able to actually own one but until then I still admire pictures of them from time to time.

    One of my favorite quotes is by Mark Twain, “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

    I think it's prudent advice from time to time. As humans I think we have a knack for getting caught up in various things and sometimes take views that may not actually reflect our true opinions if we actually take time to think critically about things.

    Wait... what? You're gonna tease us like that? Just post a picture of the mailer and leave us in suspense? LOL

    Nothing here just yet (I'm the one in GA), but I'm looking forward to it and will make a point of posting it when it arrives. As I told @H8_modern , getting notice of my win brightened an otherwise bummer day.

    @NLL (and everyone else still waiting on giveaway loot from my "Treasure Hunting Game" thread): I will try to get those out before too much longer. Still waiting to hear from some of those folks.

    Yep- it was in the mailbox.

    Opening shall be posted overnight.

    Yesterday I had a $2300 coin showing as being delivered in the tracking info. It was signed for by a "C. Cooper".

    It was supposed to to be delivered to my workplace. Was not there. We have nobody named Cooper on staff.

    Six phone calls and an hour later, I learned that the carrier had apparently decided to totally disregard the address and instead deliver my package to an office building a quarter of a mile away. Coincidentally and luckily, that building just happens to belong to our company as well (despite having a totally different street address), so after more confused calls, I finally got the package via interoffice courier - no thanks to USPS.
