So - I go to my very good friend's house to exchange presents right - we have a great time - exchange very nice gifts - thoughtful stuff... and then he says - oh bytheway - I have this for you - but you have to promise not to open it 'till your birthday!!! We don't know whether it's a 50, 53 or 55 since he got it long ago - I'm DYIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!! image

    What's your friend's name? Can I be his friend? That's a great present. My family won't even give me coins!

    Maybe I can talk my mom into saying that I was really born Dec. 26! image

    Now you're thinking Frank, but try harder...say that in the Western Hemisphere, your birthday is December 24th and open it tonight!!!!! image
    But, since you probably really don't want it anyway, just send it to me and I won't open it until my birthday (which will be the day I get it image ).

    Could be worse...your birthday could be November and you have to wait a year...heheheh....I should do that to someone...give them a gift the month after their birthday and say they can't open it until their bday.
    Cool idea.

    My analysis of the packaging characteristics indicates that it's a 1950, and a very early strike off of a matched pair of fresh dies.

    YOU promised not to open it.
    Someone else could open it and you'd be innocent ! Right ?

    Tell your friend that you would never put them through that agony
    and if they are a true friend , they'll give you permission to open it.
    Hey ! worth a shot, right ?

    They tell you that about sex too, and everyone that said that was wrong! If I had known how good it was, I never would have waited as long as I did (psstt...it wasn't that long anyway, but still....)!!!!

    So, Frank...break down....break down....you know you want to. That little devil pug on your left shoulder is nudging off the angelic one on the other shoulder....you know you want to image

    (btw...I just want someone to crack before me....I still have an unopened GSA from GSAGUY who is hiding from the forum lately, and a "brand new (to me)" 5pack of Ike 1973-s brown boxes that I want to open...and probably will open the latter one tonight.....muhahahhahahah)

    You're right to quote Bugs Bunny. Well, best thing to do is put it away and don't look at it for several months. Time will fly on by.

    My birthday's only three days away. Send it to me, and I'll open it and post the results.

    I might even be persuaded to send it back... maybe...

    Do you know this from personal experience?

    I know how you feel-I mean about having to wait to check out coins in unopened mint packaging-not the stove thing.

    Too late to get it shipped in time for LM's birthday. However, mine is two days after his, so if you get your butt to the post office today...
