Do you know, Fire trucks and Police have to yield to mail trucks? One of the presidents once said, the fate of the Nation could ride on a single letter. All 3 of us have to yield to school bus's with flashing red lights. Just found this....kinda funny https://www.quora.com/If-a-postal-t...-time-who-would-have-the-right-of-way-and-why

 

My page has been delivered but no word from the recipient....we'll see

 

I pulled some strings to make that happen for the CT secret Santa this year; snow really messed us up last year and I was determined to not let it happen again. You're welcome.

 

Well, I held out a few days before tearing into my Secret Santa stash. Santa must know my love of history! What a haul!!!!!

First is a medal issued in honor of the 1960 christening of the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise...





Then I got my very own racketeer coin! A V-nickel dipped in gold and passed off by enterprising felons as a $5 gold coin in the 1880s. Read up on it and you'll find out a possible reason for the expression "You must be joshing me."





And finally, nine foreign coins: Italy, Germany, Philllipines, Japan, India, Argentina, and some that Santa has left for me to research. Cool!



Thank you Santa! And Merry Christmas to all!

 

That bottom left coin is really cool.

 

Got my package last Friday - thanks Secret Santa! Love the wrapping paper. Gonna try to hold off until Christmas...

 

Good Lordy!!! Where are you?! North Pole?

 

Very cool medal! And everybody stop opening early or you are going to make me lose my willpower to not open mine XD

 

Self control is one of my lesser virtues.

 

I finally got a chance to take some pics. The first thing my eye's saw was this.



I thought "Yay, a nice proof Silver Eagle, that's really nice." Taped to the box was a plastic currency protector with a nice assortment of foreign Bank Notes. They are beautiful. I really like them.



Then I opened the Eagle box to see what kind of surprise was inside. I was expecting a proof Silver Eagle. But I was wrong.



A hand written letter was on top. I opened it up and read it. Then I noticed this beauty was staring up at me from under where the letter had been. I had to do a double take. Then a smile stretched across my face that still hasn't receded. The toning in some of the places is just outstanding. I was so elated, I gasped and thought of what I may have done to deserve this.













Under this beauty was a blue piece of paper sealed with tape. Inside was the answer to the Attribution, if I could not decipher it my self and wished to cry uncle.

Below that was a piece of paper folded up with a few coins added to give weight to the box. Hence, convincing me it was a proof Silver Eagle.



I must say. This has been one of the funnest and most incredible gift's I have received in quite a long time. I really am in love with the QBH Santa. You hit a grand slam home run. Thank you very much and have your self a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!!

 

Just wanted to let my Santa know that my gift was received - Kirk told me that he had some concerns with the tracking information. I've held out on opening it... so far.

 

They have a Norman Rockwell exhibit at my local art museum. I still need to visit it!

 

Elevations are 10K + around my area they received 2+ feet of snow last night hope everyone receives there gifts by christmas so we all can see !

 

I thought you were in cali Hollywood. Assumptions are a funny when you realize you were wrong with a pic like that lol

 

I apologize for making my Santa nervous. I didn't see the rule that we should post receipt of gift to the thread. Mine arrived late last week some time. I am planning to hold out until Christmas before opening it, though. Thank you!

Rob

 

Mine came last week. And I'm waiting. For now. And my recipient should have theirs today

 

For those who have received their gifts and are waiting... Make it suspenseful and POST PICS OF THE WRAPPED GIFT

 

Ole Rockwell's are Nice!!!
