    Too many!! I gave away pcgs Morgans to my nieces and nephews. A couple of proof sets, a partial Lincoln cent collection and some Whitmans to the neighborhood kids that collect. A few others too. A decent commem. to my mailman image I'm assured of not losing any packages this year.......AGAIN! It's amazing how a little gratuity goes a long way with certain service people. Same goes for the garbage men. My barrels are the only ones in the neighborhood not rolling all over the street each week. image

  • I haven't actually done all of my Christmas giving yet. But I have given away a few peices/lots of World Currency and later this week, I will give a few coins. My niece will receive her first slabbed coin. A PGS graded Indian Head Cent and a few additional raw coins. image

  • Eagles for birth year and marriage dates to 9 grandchildren and 4 hubby's children. 1926 Peace Dollars to sons for year of their grandfathers birth. Kennedy's to upcoming valedictorian niece, and 2002 Eagles for gift exchanges. Too many to buy for to be able to afford anything more expensive. I taped the coins to the candy. Also, got all the grandchilren filled quarter collections for their birthdays. --- OH and MS birth year lincolns to hubby and self, and some coin supplies and books to myself.

    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Gave no coins - just alot of modern currency....

  • wheat cents to my bosses's children, and to my ten year old cousin. My bosses's son opened one roll, and then used the other roll to pound the cents into the folder I gave them. And my cousin used a hammer to pound them in. ;-) Just nothing like being a young collector. The folders are a little hard for little fingers.

  • 12 2002 ASE's in the loop airtites with the red rings to family members, getting to be an annual event.

    They look great hanging on the wreaths, and get a bit of exposure, better than the sock drawer all year.

    I see that they make green rings for the I-holders now too.
    Every day is a gift.
  • I gave my sister a '46S AU Walker.I sent a loupe to see the mint mark.Her name is Sonja.Told her it was minted just for her.The walkers have the smallest mint marks I have ever seen.I sent my brother-in-law a 42 Walker.It has no mint mark,but if I could find one marked with an A,that would descride himimage.These are birthdate coins,and have sent many others.
  • BigD5,would you consider adopting me?.Cosmic,where can I get those fancy Britt coins?
  • I gave my 11 yr old son a complete set of BU IKE Dollars (bought from one of our Board Members). Since he is more into classics than moderns, I wasn't sure if he would like it, but when he opened it, he thought it was SO COOL!! i also got him a 16 subject $1 Star note sheet.
    HAVE A GREAT DAY! THE CHOICE IS YOURS!!!!
