<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 391901, member: 9474&quot;]Well, I can thank Spock for my new found affinity to foreign coins - but I am only limiting it to Canadian and British coins for now. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; NO RUPEES! :hammer:&nbsp; So here is what I got today.... the 2008 Canadian coin and stamp set.&nbsp; It is much nicer than I thought.&nbsp; It contains a 2008 proof half dollar with the dates 1908-2008 to commemorate a hundred years since Canada&#039;s first domestically minted coin, which was the half.&nbsp; Also included in the set is a 52 cent stamp that has a pic of the first half dollar.&nbsp; The pic of the half is true to size.&nbsp; The presentation box is very nice.&nbsp; I like it better than the ones that the first spouse coins come in.&nbsp; It has a wonderful metal engraving, of what I presume to be the Ottawa mint, on the top of the box.&nbsp; The coin is encapsulated in an Airtite like holder with a black foam insert around the coin.&nbsp; The only thing that could have been better was the stamp holder.&nbsp; The stamps were placed in a Showguard type black cut to size mount, but of better quality and a bit more firm.&nbsp; I would like to have seen them in a plastic snap together holder, but economically this was probably the best option.&nbsp; Only 16,000 of these sets will be made.&nbsp; I really like the set and it was a nice surprise when I came home during a break from work today.... considering that there was a big sticker slapped across the box that said, do not leave package without signature.&nbsp; Hope you all enjoy the pics.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
