You guys are weak. I’m not tempted at all

 

Been there my friend.
Last year my gift never arrived
I hope you have better luck this year than I did last year.

 

I'm still waiting for mine, although i have no expectations of it arriving even before Christmas, hopefully i'm wrong.

 

You are sadly all alone in the middle of nowhere in Australia when it comes to the mail service. My fingers are crossed for you.

 

Recent auctions have kept me distracted so the wait is not too bad lol.

 

Just to let my Secret Saturnalia sender know mine arrived this morning...Thank you...
Will post some photos when I open it on the 17th...
Paul.

 

I know its hard to wait, but ...

 

Oops! I didn't realize that we were supposed to wait until the 17th. This is the first time I've participated. My surprise arrived last night, and I've already opened it.

If no one has any objections, I'll photograph my Saturnalia gift this weekend and post it along with the name of my secret Saturn. Just to make it harder for the rest of you to wait until the 17th.

 

Nothing yet in the mail box, and as far as I know, my giftee hasn't got theirs, or at least they havn't told they did

I can't wait....

Q

 

So, as I said, I sorta messed up and opened my Saturnalia gift early. I suspect seeing what I received is going to make it even harder for many of you to wait another 5 days to see what you got.

So without further preamble, check out this beauty that I received from the Secret Saturn himself, @John Anthony:

Antoninus Pius
A.D. 138 - 161
Rome mint, A.D. 152-153.
Obv: ANTONINVS AVG PIVS PP TR P XVI.
Rev: INDVLGENTIA AVG COS IIII - Indulgentia seated left, extending right hand and holding scepter in left.
SC in exergue.
35 mm, 29.4 g.

Thank you, John Anthony!

 

A wonderful and hefty chunk of bronze! Who doesn't love A-Pi?

 

That's a beaut! The kids have been asking to open our SS package but so far I've managed to hold out. Not sure we will last the full 5 more days though haha.

 

Not sure you're the kind of guy I would like as a father

Great coin @gsimonel

Q

 

Trying to teach patience. Not exactly an easy thing lol.

 

I am glad to see that my gift made the journey and the target received the package and is holding on till Saturnalia. I am fortunate enough not to tempt my restraints so far as have not received a package yet, but the next week might not be as forgiving .

 

Just have to crush this week of work and then this Friday is the start of...

 

My SS arrived today!!

 

I just received mine, really glad it came through before Saturnalia!!
