I don't expect nor do I deserve, a spectacular present like that. I'm happy with a decent effort. [ATTACH=full]1588702[/ATTACH] For 2022, I chose that. It was pretty but fit within my Saturnalia budget. It took a while to get my pairing, so it sold before I could get it. I chose another nice denarius but the dealer goofed. I had to end up scrambling and sending a Seleucid tet. Sending a dealer coin takes a lot of stress out of the process. I can send something nice and I have a lot more to choose from. They also do the shipping work. My giver scored high on the thoughtful scale. The package included nice local (to the giver) chocolates, as well as the coins. I took a leaf out of work secret Santas and included a like/dislike list this year. There's not really much point in sending someone a genre they won't enjoy. Such a list is helpful to the gifter.
