    Nobody in my family would EVER buy me a coin for Christmas. Don't ask me why, cause I don't have the answer. I always ask for a coin , but have never recieved one. This is just the way it is around here....Merry Chistmas I hope it's a great day for you all......Joe

    I forgot to say....Todd what a very beautiful Morgan you have there...You should be very pleased

    Be glad in a way. If they are non-collectors, odds are they will overpay by a wide margin, or buy something that many collectors might cringe at (eg: colorized coins, copper-nickel engagement announcement coin. It is difficult to buy for someone with a hobby that requires expertise. Try and buy something for someone else in a specialized hobby, and you will be in the same boat, buying something that experts in the hobby cringe at, or end up overpaying by a wide margin.

    The exceptions might be a book, or something they can order from the U. S. mint.

    Two fine ladies from Minnesota knew that I liked music and coins. One is married to Walmann. The other is her sister. They put together twosides2aquilt for me. One side is music, the other side is coins.

    Didn't receive anything numismatic this year, BUT.......

    .......I gave a silver candlestick to my wife.

    Made by Boulten and Watt in 1776, the guys who were a big part of the industrial revolution, steam engines, coin presses, etc.

    Purchased from CRO earlier this year and hidden away. Now, if I can just keep the numismatic connection a secret..... image

    what a neat gift......this would especially appeal to an 18th cent copper collector as many of our planchets for large cents came from the Soho Mint at Birmingham
