    What a nice Christmas present! I love the Henry Morgan $10 as part of this Jamaican 1974 proof set.!

    While I might never have chosen to purchase this set myself, it is very attractive to me and in wonderful shape. Thank you Rickc300!

    Sorry for the lousy pic but the coins are outstanding! Thank you sir image

    1951 South Africa 1/4d, 1/2d & 1d proof - all magnificently toned and a equally stunningly toned 1972 NGC SP65 Canadian Dollar. Wow!

    This is what I got from Laurentyvan. A very pleasant surprize to receive a coin that fits in my scheme of collecting. A Bavarian 2 Mark KM#516 it matches perfectly with my 3 Mark KM#517, Thanks!

    Good fun and Merry Christmas to everyone!

    I received this fantastic medal from TwoKopeiki yesterday. I had never seen a medal like it before. It is very toned on the horse side and has a cameo obverse. It came with the original packaging. Thanks Roman.

    I know it's lightside, so my apologies for posting in a Darkside setting, but that being said, I got this REALLY cool coin from Hyperion. I had read about this process a few years ago, but had never seen a "shrunken" coin up close and personal. For those of you that want to know how it's done, I am also posting the link to the "coin shrinking" website. By the way, I weighed the shrunken coin and it weighs 26.6 grams, just like its normal sized brther image

    Your new shrunken Morgan dollar seems to be a little better balanced in terms of strike and appearance than the original, although the reverse rim seems to have picked up some flaws, perhaps as a result of the process?

    I'm very impressed with this technology... or should I say, terrified with the new technology- that's a lot of power being used!

    I hope you liked it, Shroomster image I wanted something original and I hope I accomplished it.

    I received your package when I came home today, but waiting until X-Mas morning to open it. I wouldn't be able to image it until I'm back to Canada, though.

    Happy Holidays, everyone!

    I made out like a bandit! image

    Don sent me quite a handful of coins - 1939 Canada 1c in UNC, 1960 South Africa 1d in BU, 1925 Peru Un Sol and a 1887 Mexico City 8 Reales, that fits nicely in my M.O. year set of Cap and Rays image

    No pictures, yet. I am in the process of moving to a new appartment, so it's been a bit hectic around here. I had to rent a U-Haul in Pittsburgh yesterday, load it up, drive up to Toronto, unload it and still get ready for work image I'll snap a couple as soon as I am set-up again.

    Thanks again, Don!

    Those coppers are hard to photo correctly. Need more practice, but until then here are some of my swap goodies:
