It is my birthday on Tuesday, I will be 17, but we opened gifts today (Sunday) since my dad will be away on Tuesday. Here's the haul: 2011 Silver Proof Set 2011 W Proof Silver Eagle 1986 S Proof Silver Eagle 2011 Mint Set 2011 P Proof Army $1 Great gifts in my opinion! I tried to ask for older coins, but my parents and relatives mostly did not feel comfortable buying off eBay and bought from the mint instead. Also, see this thread, the 2011 P Cent in the mint set is very strange. [h=1]2011 Mint Set Lincoln Cent ERROR?[/h]
Great idea for the gifts. I also love these kind of gifts. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your gifts. It will be good to see your precious gifts here. Please post them here.
Your parents are smart. The fact you also have a neat hobby like this makes their gift giving easier.
First off, a very happy belated birthday to you!!! What GREAT gifts your family got you ... and good for you in pointing them in this direction!!! Imagine if you got similar gifts over the next few years ... you'd have an awesome collection!!!
Happy Belated birthday Phd! Sounds like it was a good one. Not only are your presents beautiful, they will always have sentiment surrounding them..a nice combination. Hope you ate lots of cake!
Giving a coin, stamp or newspaper from the birthday and year is a sweet, affordable, easy to attain and personal gift.
