    It doesn't have to be one of your babies. Something related?

    When I last did the Secret Santa I went out and bought some things. Worked as a nice excuse to go to the coin store.

    Edit: I've gotten the secret Santa's mixed up so I didn't mean to post here. But, I suppose my suggestion still has merit - you could buy something for someone that you think they'd enjoy.

    Ok, I'll join in if it's ancients/world only. With due respect to others' opinions, my biggest concern is that the collector receiving my gift would be disappointed by it, which is why I don't want to be part of the larger pool. Imagine a lover of ASE's getting a denarius...

    This will be our 1st Secret Santa for world and Ancient coins. The Mods have no problems with it. i will run the Secret Santa if there is no objections.
    we are at nine people so someone step up. if you feel ok with me running this, send me your name and address( there only one person, make that 2, that i have not seen there address). its going to be hard not to know who is sending you a coin.
    awesome Whiz that will make ten, if you don't mind shipping to another country add that in your email.
    i will draw your name out of a hat and pair you with that person, the last person will be paired with me.

    1. be happy with your coin..remember some don't have the budget you do. :)
    2.you can send as much as you want, no limit.
    3.post your coin, coins here. try and keep it to a World or Ancient coin.
    4. remember it's the thought that counts.
    5. if you don't receive your coin or there's a problem pm me first, before you go off.
    6. ???? pm me...

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my Ancient friends!!!!!!

    Sometimes you have to let them go and experience the world. Thats how you show you really love them... oh wait we are talking about coins? No way then. :D

    We are almost there i will pick names this weekend probably Sunday, i have a small coin show on Saturday. when you get your name, get it out so the person will get it before Christmas.
    Just before Christmas we can open and share them with the rest of this forum, let's post here. after there all posted the thread can die down.

    Yeah, well, I need an Eid Mar. But I think if I poop in one hand and wish in the other, I think I know which will fill up first.

    So how does this thing work? I received two very nice little coins today which I photographed. Should I post them? I also received the coin I ordered for my giftee and it's going out in the mail tomorrow. Is there a date on which we reveal who's who?

    Awesome Big J, i would hold off posting till we all get our gifts, if you can.:eek: since there's only ten of us if we wait would be great.We have a couple out of the country folks, this will give them time to get there's. so everyone let us know when you get yours, maybe then we can post as a group. what do you think!!!!
