I'd guess that few collectors want other people to buy coins for them, because you'd probably like to hand-pick your own instead. So besides coins, what hobby items would you like to get as gifts this year? Maybe you'll get an idea for your own gift list from what someone else mentions.
I browsed at the ANA online store and some other sites and came up with these:
$2 - 9" storage box for 2x2s
$10 - Jeweler's tray and black pad
$18 - RotaFlip die rotation gauge
$25 - 750 gram silica gel (protects up to 57 cu. ft.)
$35 - How to detect artificial toning on coins (2 hr. video)
$40 - Modern Minting Process/ US Minting Errors and Varieties ANA Correspondence course
$100 - Zeiss D36 pocket magnifier (3x/6x/9x loupe)
$299 - ANA Complete Numismatic Diploma Program (four correspondence courses, two videos, a book, final exam, diploma registration)

New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

<< <i>one of tonelover's great U.S-Philippine coins that I haven't seen or decided on yet!
I've snagged several off of him and they are all in the permanent collection. I've sold off now about everything except my gold, a few morgans, and my us-philippine coins. Plus some raw that is basically in the permanent collection.
