Post here 'cause the other thread is too long.

moursund · December 3, 2001 1:57AM

I couldn't wait... I got my swap package from MacCoin, and it was... (drumroll, please)...

It had a "dollar" theme... Contained 1921 MS Morgan, 1924 EF Peace, type-2 S-mint bicentennial Ike (Even Ike almost looks good on that), Wide rim SBA, an SBA 1979 sovenir set, and a sac for good measure

Wowsa! And, for some reason, a worn-out 1939 quarter.

Mac, this is excessive. Holy Moly! Now I think I didn't put enough in my swap package.

Thanks, Mac!!!!!!! (Hope you don't mind if I call you Mac)

That is strange. When I look at the posts, Koin Kollector is right above me, which means the person above another is the one that they send it to. Am I correct? Thanks.

Sincerely,

Chris

justforgrins · December 10, 2001 4:31AM

I received my package from mact, I couldn't wait to open it and I was very well pleased. I received a 1935 CU $1 silver cer5tificate, a 1949-S PCGS MS66 RD Lincoln set, a 2000-P Sac $1 with the obverse being a different color than the reverse. A 1971-S Uncirculated IKE dollar and an assortment of darkside coins. Thank you mact for your generosity .

mact · December 10, 2001 8:13AM

Late in posting but well worth it. I'd like to thank STRAT for my swap gift. This is probably the best of all of them, not for money value but the numismatic value most of all. I received a Washington Piece, born in Virginia. It is a Collis restrike originally purchased from Bowers & Ruddy and still in the original flip. I didn't know what it was at first. After a little research I learned that Collis found the original die and in 1959 struck 5019 pieces in copper, a few in silver, a couple in gold and 1 in platinum. The then destroyed the restrike die and gave the original die to the ANA. The piece that I have is nicely toned copper. The best part of all this was the research into a piece of numismatics that I probably never would have looked into. That is the wonderful thing about this board. Thanks again strat for the wonderful gift.

tggr · December 10, 2001 8:42PM

Avarel · December 11, 2001 2:02AM

I hate small town Post offices, always open a half hour or hour later then I need them to be. Rather annoying when you KNOW the package slip is for coins. Anyhoo, I got my swap from Moursund. My thanks!

A wide assortment of indian heads, pennies, nickels, half dollars, peace dollar and mercs greeted me when I opened them this morning in while driving into work.

BigD5 · December 15, 2001 7:42PM

I received my package from LiveWire the other day, and I had to open it. I don't know how some of you can WAIT! I received an excellent assortment of Darkside and Lightside coins, a silver certificate, and a 20 reichsmark note. A wide variety. Thank you Tom! Happy Holidays everyone.

hookedoncoins · December 16, 2001 1:13AM

Hi,

I received my package from Louie a while ago, but I am going to try to wait till Christmas to open it.

I'll post more about it then (I beleive they are darkside coins, so I think I should wait till Christmas when I can open my Krause before I post, so I can identify them all).

-Jarrett Roberts

danarchy · December 16, 2001 3:44PM

Hookedoncoins....I got your package!Thank you!I was very please with that was enclosed!!! A 64d kennedy

, a 58d franklin

, a 21 morgan

and a peace dollar dated 23. I am NOT a peace dollar collector!!!

about this Peace dollar. It is incredable!

i have to tell you all, I have not had the pleasure of seeing a peace dollar which was pleasing to me. Until now

I collect enough type coins!!!Why did you have to send such a great coin!!!

I DO NOT WANT TO COLLECT PEACE DOLLARS!!!NO!!! Hooked, this is a wonderful coin, I love it. I am not going to start a peace collection(tempting,now...thanks)The strike on this coin is so crisp, Peace is EASILY seen!Well, you don't have to look for it!I am totally impressed with this coin! Yes the other coins pale in comparision(even the morgan,wow)Hooked, I thank you many times, and if you don't get the idea, i like the coins!!!

The Tree recieved something from the Oak a few days ago--

speer34 · December 17, 2001 6:12PM

I received a package from Keiferscoins and I was absolutely amazed at what all was inside. Cameron went way above and beyond on this one:

1865 2 cent in Good
1900S Barber Half dollar in Good
1941S Merc Dime B/U--I would say at least MS 65
1944S Merc Dime PCGS MS 65
1978S Jefferson--the really cool thing about this coin is the bluish colored toned cameo affect----WOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!
1990S Jefferson NGC Ultra Cameo PF 69
and last but not least

1977S Ike ICG PR 69DCAM

I am thrilled with the coins that I received and I am having a hard time trying to figure out which one I like best. While I absolutely love the Mercs--one of my favorite coins of all-time-- I have looked at the 2 cent piece and the toned Jefferson the most. Thanks again Cameron.

Happy Holidays to all,

Scott

LitlDeb · December 18, 2001 12:34AM

I received my swap from GaCoinNewbie today.......it is a great addition to my collection..It is a UC set of the Liberty Commemorative Dollar and Half. THanks so much Jeff, I love it

moursund · December 18, 2001 12:51AM

And I got my package from copperhead (or some other type of snake, but I'm pretty sure it was copperhead

) and I was delighted to find within a pairs of large cents, seated dimes, and barber dimes. Trouble is, now that I have more than one large cent and seated dime, I may have to start collecting them for other than a typeset.

THANKS!

hookedoncoins · December 18, 2001 8:27AM

Hi,

Danarchy... you were supposed to wait till christmas to open your gift. Didn't you get the hint from the christmas wrapping paper

.

I hope you liked it. I couldn't figure out if it was enough or not.

Happy Holidays!

-Jarrett Roberts

danarchy · December 18, 2001 10:15AM

Jarrett,
I don't take hints well(kinda have to hit me over the head with it)
shoulda seen me last night...my wife's parents sent boxes for the kids...shake shake here, rattle there...hmmm, what's this??? Come christmas time age flies right out the window...

Honestly I am very taken with the peace dollar,like i said the other coins are great, but...wow.

I think you did well, and sorry I didn't wait until Christmas(not sorry I openned, but cause I didn't do as you wanted!) again many thanks!

dan

MrMoo · December 19, 2001 10:31AM

JimD · December 23, 2001 9:57AM

Ok, I know I said I was not going to open the package from TRADERBOBS until Christmas but I am going out of town in the morning and may not have access to a computer to relay my thanks. Ok,Ok, it's a lame excuse. Truth is I just couldn't stand it any more. The package contained a 1921 Morgan with lavender tonning; 1923 Peace Dollar; 1942 Walking Lib Half; a 2000p Unc Sac; and last but certainly not least a 1960 PCGS PR65 Washington Quarter.

I am extreamly pleased. Thanks again TRADERBOBS and Merry Christmal all.
