Why don't they just call it Scottish New Year?

Because it is not restricted to Scotland. When I was growing up in the north of England we followed many of the same practices.

 

Oh

 

Because that would be politically as well as factually incorrect.

 

Sakata, look what I'm up to tonight...

$127.70 FV in 90%
$10.50 FV in 40%
3 Silver Eagles
2 sets of UNC Bicentennial silver coins
Some 50% silver Canadian
The list goes on.

 

Doug, for not giving a like.
Doug, for no longer collecting.

 

I know this update is late but I'm a huge fan of toned coins!

 

Wow! You have a generous secret santa!

 

Got my giftee name and wanted to thank them and @Kirkuleez. Doing a little research on what the person posts and their likes has been interesting! They have a unique collecting habit and I've learned a lot on these particular types of coins. Ordered one gift and looking for another, but it's not too easy to find. Hope they like it.

 

Just sent mine out I finished making some homemade goodies with my wife and added some for someone!

 

It seems counterintuitive to me to get someone something they collect. Unless it is an expensive piece it seems like there is a good chance they already have it. I would think it more naturally to introduce someone to a new area of collecting by sending something they don't collect.

 

I can see both options. I personally am not looking to expand because I'm just starting my US types so taking on another currency would be rough ha or I collect toners so you can't really get too many since they're mostly unique.

BUT if someone exclusively collects Morgan's and has 3 of every year/variant then giving a new area of coin would probably be greatly appreciated.

Either way I'm guessing everyone will love their gifts, coin enthusiasts are ENTHUSIASTIC (ha) about getting coins.

 

That's the way it should be on this SS.

 

That is a good idea. Maybe one they collect and another of a different type.

 

It’s nice that you guys are looking to get something that your recipients would really like, but I think that you are thinking too hard. In my experience with the exchange is that when coin collectors get something round to add to their collection, they like it no matter if it is in their normal collection focus or not.

 

FYI - I just received my info from Kirk! He is on the task!

I've been well prepared! I got this for a **steal** overseas last year, and just waiting for this time of year to give it to someone!

Finding a way to ship it is going to be a real challenge!

 

Hey Secret Santa!

My box arrived at high noon today. It’s the first present under the tree.

Let’s see how much discipline I have.

Thank you and Merry Christmas!!!!

 

Looks like a Monster Box.

 

It is a big box and carries some heft to it.

 

Maybe a Yap coin?
