I posted this in the other Secret Santa thread, but just wanted to show off the cool gift that Bing sent to me.

Alright, I admit it, I opened my gift on Sunday after I got home from that tragic Saints game. My gift sure lifted my spirits. Got this cool ancient from @Bing.



Me holding the coin in the right and wrong way at the same time. Don't get to do this very often since I am mainly a proof collector.


Thank you Santa Bing, I love it

 

Awesome coin Kirk, Merry Christmas to you...

I was just informed by my Secret Santa that my Licinius, is an ex Martin coin, aka Maridvnum right here at CT..

 

So do we reveal our identities at this point? I would very much like to know who my Secret Santa was so I could properly thank him.

 

I like the suggestion we have others guess who sent our coins.

 

Ok, I'm going to guess that Gil was my SS, just because I know where most of you live, and the package didn't arrive from any of those places. Or maybe Randy...I don't know where he lives either.

 

I know who sent mine. I think we all should guess what others sent to other members. In other words, we should be guessing who sent you your SS gift.

 

Why do you have to make things difficult?

Ok, guess away. Who sent me my coins? They're posted on the prior page.

 

Hey, I'll try a couple of guesses...

chrsmat's Santa was Mat
Bing's was chrsmat
randy's was Bing
VK's was JA

 

VK was not my SS - wrong state.

 

You're wrong about who I sent to. Here are my guesses:
Chris from Randy
Randy from JA
Matt from VK
Anoob from Gil
Vk from Eng

 

I did not send to Randy.

 

oh, I was guessing that you were VK's.

 

In that case you a correct sir! Ding ding ding ding...

 

woohoo! I just wants me another coin, Oprah!

 

You get Chinese Christmas dancing girls.
