<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rassi, post: 2945865, member: 22149&quot;]I have to apologize for not posting pictures of my SS gifts yet.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been busy with all the holidays and get-togethers, and for some reason when I would check in here at CT it wasn&#039;t showing me that there&#039;d been any postings to this thread, so I thought I would be ok putting off my post.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still have to take photos, but my SS did a wonderful job researching me and got me some great gifts!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>First off was the copy of the Stump book on Pop Out Repousse Coins!&nbsp; I was floored to receive this.&nbsp; When I was researching these earlier this year, this was a suggested reference, but I couldn&#039;t find any available anymore.&nbsp; There was a Kickstarter for a new updated printing, and I contributed to that, but there was no guarantee it would be published, and so far I hadn&#039;t heard anything.&nbsp; So to receive a copy of the original was a fantastic surprise!</p><p><br /></p><p>Next I received a 1971 Proof set - another great gift.&nbsp; I have been searching for that reclusive 1971 high-grade cameo Kennedy to finish my set, and this coin is beautiful.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next, I received the 1965, 1966, and 1967 Special Mint sets...&nbsp; More great Kennedys, as well as one being my birth year!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Next up, I received the 1 Peso and 50 Centavos from the Philippines, both from 1947.&nbsp; Very cool coins - I will have to research them further to learn more about them.</p><p><br /></p><p>And finally, I received a hand-written note from my SS saying I could have the bragging rights for the first Coin Talk SS gold coin - it appears to be a miniature gold Lincoln cent dated 1909-1982.&nbsp; I wish my vision were better that I could appreciate it more.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I will try and get photos of everything up later - thank you again Secret Santa for such wonderful and generous gifts!!!&nbsp; Merry Christmas![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
