Thanks DionHurst for the '63 mintset and the ancient coins... I remember a couple years ago I tried cleaning those things with no luck, I will have to try to get back into it now! Sorry for late post I completely forgot to post on this thread to verify my receipt of your gift!

 

Hope the Frankie is to your liking!!!

 

I recieved my coins today from coinkeeper.

1848 large cent vg 10
1856 large cent g 6
1964 lmc ms64
1967 Canada quarter (looks unc may be silver ?)
2005 Canada nickel (looks to be pl)
1967 Canada cent ( lightly circulated)

The large cents are awesome! I really like the big ole American copper. Thanks coinkeeper. I hope you enjoyed the coins i sent you. I'm not gonna spoil the surprise in case you haven't gotten them yet.

 

Got my package from jhinton, got a nice set of 1940's merc dimes and the the one the brought a smile to my face was this 1862 $1 note from the Commonwealth of Virginia.
I have had the thought of collecting one bill from each state, now I am one closer.

 

I never got anything! I sent Penny Fanatic one of the only Seated Liberty coins that I had, because he said that's all he collects, and he never sent anything back! I keep sending him PMs, and he isn't replying to those either.
I don't want to sound impatient, but this is disappointing. Huhhh, oh well...

 

I got an awesome Isle of Man banknote and coins from Moneyer. I feel bad because my shipment is taking so long, so I sent another package out to make sure we come out even.

*Just a bit of a rant... the postage cost was just around $7. I asked how much extra a tracking number was. Canada Post charges an extra $14!!!! for a tracking number! Needless to say, I had to send it without tracking.

To the others who are waiting for their packages, everything is sent and hopefully (fingers crossed) will arrive soon.

 

Mailman came late today and another package arrived! This time from camlov2....

A cool 5 Dinar Iraqi note which will go nicely with my collection of the last issue of Saddam's notes:





Check this out!

An ancient owl!

 

thats a neat note diggit

 

Thank you Brian and John! Awesome additions to my collection!

 

this is a great idea, exchanging coins and notes with each other gives everyone a chanc of getting something new, glad you liked the isle of man stuff barry, wait until you get the next package i have found something which i am sure you will like.

 

I totally agree!:thumb:

 

I missed posting this Merc that I also received from camlov2!

 

We made the contest a little harder this time, we had to send 3 items and keep it under $20. The dime was the third item and all I could find to keep it under the total. (I almost had to send a penny from circulation.

 

My package came from Alexjr1967 today and it is another awesome one! In addition to some great banknotes, there were a handful of error coins!

I tried to take as many pics as I could before my batteries crapped out, so excuse the quality. There were still another pile of off-centers that I could shoot.

So, here's what he sent me:


















This nickel was listed as an RPM P/P but it looks normal to me. However, there is a cool lamination of the obverse.
