I couldn't wait any longer and I'll be traveling tomorrow so I wanted to thank mongoose for his excellent gift.image I received 4 neat coins that nearly encompass the 4 corners of the globe.

coin #1 attribution per mongoose (hell I couldn't even tell heads from tailsimage)
India- Princely States
Kutch 1936 5 Kori
image

coin #2 Russia 1775 5 Kopeks (love this big honking coin)

image

coin # 3 Canada dollar 1871-1971 British Columbia (my images fails miserably on this coin! It is awesome!)
image

Last but not least coin #4 quoting mongoose "every darksider has to have a Churchill Crown!" Unfortunately the coin broke my scanner so use you imaginations on this one.image

Thanks again Joe!

Wishing everyone here a safe and joyous Holiday Season!

    Mark, You're welcome! I thought you would appreciate the Churchill.image
    I'll reserve this space to show the coins that Mark sent.

    Thanks to you for the 1992 Swiss 78 coin Proof Set. All these coins are fantastic quality, and all deep cameo.

    The second coin is a Denier from Bohemund III of Antioch (during his minority), 1149-1163. This coin has a really nice look to it and LOTS of detail. Medievals are fascinating. image
    See you at FUN!

    Joe- That reminds me. Where and when is everyone gathering at FUN? It would be nice (I think?) to put faces with the names/aliases.image

    Mark,
    I've seen a few of the faces that go with the names. You're better off the way you are now. image

    Yes, when and where are we meeting Joe? I owe Michael (aethelbore) a beer and Terry owes Kelly a case, of beer that is. I heard Terry is going to try to drink Mrs. ajaan under the table. Good luck!
