    Since I emceed this bountiful exchange of good cheer last year, I figured y'all wouldn't mind if I did it again - somebody's got to.

    If you would like to give and receive ANCIENT COINS this year, please send me a PM with your name and address and I will pair you with another forum member. The Secret Saturnalia is only for ancient coins - if you want to exchange moderns, I assume someone from that neck of the woods will be taking care of that.

    NOTE: Saturnalia was held from December 17 to December 23 of the Julian Calendar, so please mail your coins with enough time to arrive within that period. I will take submissions until December 1.

    Please don't just post in this thread if you want to play - send me a PM with your mailing address.

    Am I missing anything?

    I'm in! I'm sorry I haven't been active lately - I've been lurking, but my work is nuts this year. I'll be sure to make time for my secret saturnalia though

    Thank you! It's no big deal though - I just pair people up. The rest is up to you.

    I've got 26 members assigned to each other today. The question has been asked about the value of the gifts, and there's no good answer to that since we all have wallets of different sizes. [lecture]Here's a basic rule about gift-giving: send something reasonably priced that you might enjoy receiving yourself. Don't send culls you want to get rid of that nobody wants. That's bad form.[/lecture] :)
