[QUOTE="iPen, post: 3276400, member: 69760"]Hello all and Merry Christmas! Here are my Secret Santa items, and let me say, he was very, very generous :) (and yes, I know who my Santa is because it says so on the envelope/card). Besides the 1950-D UNC nickel (lowest mintage key date!), the bottom three items are the most notable to me. The left one is one of those pop-out, high relief arts and I wish more coins were like that lol. The second one is an ancient coin - I've always wanted to get into Ancients but the sheer volume and difference in scope was a bit overwhelming. I needed a push and this may be what will help get me to start researching / collecting it. I've posted pics of it below, and I believe that it's from Ancient Rome w/ Jupiter on the reverse, but I may be off by a few hundred years lol (Constantine? [B]Does anyone know the specifics?[/B] Please let me know!). The third one is actually an envelope that contains a bookmark from 1904. I appreciate the thought since I'm a Chicago native. Thank you, Santa! And, sorry for the poor photos - I still suck at photography! [ATTACH=full]865256[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]865261[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
