    For anybody who was wondering what this was about, I'll explain.

    Jim, aka "kranky", PM-ed me a while back to offer me a holey coin or two as a gift. I sent him my snailmail address and forgot all about it.

    The other day this HUGE box arrived, and I had no idea what was inside. Lo and behold, there were some 19th century holey US coins.

    But that wasn't all. There were also several pounds of unholed Darkside coins, including a few nice pieces, and a goodly amount of Canadian silver (including a low-grade Edward VII half). Plus two partial old blue Whitman folders with George V Canadian cents. (Which might become further giveaway fodder later).

    Talk about a surprise package!

    And this just as a gift, right out of the clear blue sky.

    Now Anthony, aka "stainless", owed me some money or swaps for some Roman coins, but being a YN and having a spot of car trouble recently, he was in a pinch and worrying about how he was gonna pay me back.

    I told him not to worry about it- poof - debt gone. I said, "don't thank me, thank kranky".

    What comes around goes around. I have been on the receiving end of a good bit of forum member generosity lately.

    No worries.

    I can afford a little small generosity, particularly when somebody else has been even more generous with me.
