Finally caught up on opening my mail

When I was a kid and my mail order coins arrived, I used to feverishly tear open the packages on the spot. Nowadays, for whatever reason, I tend to let the mail pile up for a while and only open it when I’m in a suitably numismatic mood.

those are cool, I like the look of the $5
You are patient.
I'd be a patient.
I just run hot and cold with my hobby interest these days. I'd rather open the coin packages when I'm in the right mood. When I'm in a non-numismatic mood, the fun would not be as fun.
(When I was a kid and needed instant gratification, I was never in a non-numismatic mood!)
@lordmarcovan... Nice coins, I particularly like the gold coin. Cheers, RickO
Nice! I like the half eagle
Those are some nice pickups.

That's a problem my coin mail has never had. Nice coins! 👍🏻

I too do that occasionally. Though I do put them in the safe. Opened a few the other day and found 4 gold pieces that I completely forgot about buying. In fact I don't remember them at all and have no recollection of any such transaction. I need to wait not so long, I think.
Sure is fun when you do open especially when you remember pulling the trigger!
Nice coins Lordy,

Same way. Sometimes it may be weeks.
Dude, that gold, seriously........
Boy, that song brings back memories of 1989! I played the heck outta that CD back then.

I’ve done it. And quite often while at work. In fact, I’m having them shipped to my work address sometimes. (As was the case with that half eagle.)
Nice Coins! I need to get some early gold like that…

Where are the holes. I don't see any holes!

That’s a whole (hole) different collection.
Beautiful pickups, LM! I don't know if I could have a package sitting around for weeks, though. What if they sent the wrong coin?
I have let stuff sit a couple of days if I'm in a bad mood. You're right that it can spoil the fun.

Nice coins Lord!!
❤️ luv it luv it luv it!!!!! Beautiful 5!
Don’t mind helping with opening your parcels @lordmarcovan
Congrats!
Seems a bit risky to me. If there was an issue with the coin (damaged or wrong coin sent), the seller could argue that you’ve had it for a week, why are you just now filing a complaint/dispute? Beautiful coins regardless!
Beautiful 1836 $5 GOLD!!! The dime ain't bad either. Well done.

I like the gold as well and the rest follows
Yes, good point.
I open my package at the end of my work day as a reward and treat.
Great looking coins!
PS. Get rid of the personal info on the Heritage invoice.
Thanks. I masked my home address. The address showing is my work address- a hotel.
