Just incase you want to show off your swaps, post'em here.

Opened my swap from Cladiator, got a 2005 Canadian mint or PL set, not sure which, no notation on the 2x2's. Thanks Dude!!

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!

Good idea ajaan. This is what I got from Senior Spinaker2000 :

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

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

Dockwalliper

Wow. You both got the same thing.

WOW, would you grade them 69 or 70?

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

Shrunken Coin Explanation

laurentyvan

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!

laurentyvan

Great medal Ajaan! Love the high relief- that piece really stands out.

Ahhhh, Darksiders- you can't beat 'em!

TwoKopeiki

I hope you liked it, Shroomster 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!

Glad you like it!

I made out like a bandit!

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

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 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:







P.S. Ajaan rocks
