[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 3474667, member: 77413"]From [USER=85675]@CircCam[/USER], coin two of five. I was surprised at how bulky my package was when it arrived. After all, how much space does a nickel take? There were some things packed and taped together, and a separate envelope with a message on it, and what appeared to be an eBay-style receipt. But, it wasn’t. It was a note to me, personally, from the seller. Turns out that CoinTalk had a role in this. [USER=85675]@CircCam[/USER] explained that he recognized my name and enjoyed the thread I started on Jefferson nickels. So he took the opportunity to make me a gift of a couple of Jefferson’s and a Lincoln. Frankly, I am touched. I just share what I am fortunate enough to have. That’s plenty for me. Here’s my original 1947-D. [ATTACH=full]924276[/ATTACH] And this is the unexpected one in the package. [ATTACH=full]924277[/ATTACH] This is a seriously lovely coin, enhanced by the red, green, and blue toning at the bottom of the reverse. The obverse reveals delightful rim toning, well, just everywhere I look. Next time, I will explore the rest of the package. (If you see @lordmarcovan’s narrative style here, well, it may not be an accident. Except I don’t plan to drag it out quite as long!)[/QUOTE]
