    This one is different as it seems to just be for gifts, not coins one purchased.

    Oh, OK...LOL.

    In that case, I suspect it may be a short thread.

    At least pages 263-64 and the bottom half of 275-76 aren't missing from the cookies.

    One very pretty Christmas card from a company with whom I do very little business.

    Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    Redbooks are a great giveaway. Costs $12 or $15. Put a Merry Christmas from Conundrum Coin sticker on the cover and the happy numismatist has it on his desk for a couple of year.

    Precedence I suppose. Have received a number of books, treats, display boxes and a coffee mug or two.

    Nice way to say, thanks for the business.

    IMHO, the markups/margins are wildly different. Some of the things that I purchase at WalMart are necessities of life, but practically nothing that I purchase from a coin dealer is.
