The Reveal! My NEWP from CRO...

2ltdjorn

After several months on missing out on EarlyBird deals, I finally snagged one.

Now the Reveal. Modeled after seen on the The Rolex Forum when unboxing a NEWP.

Outside of my typical comfort zone, I branched out to OCONUS piece.


Enjoy!
Nice Package, Presentation.

What do we have?

I don't know what it is, but I like it!

That is a neat coin that would be completely out of my field of view in the Early Bird, but cool and old so I am sure it has even more good qualities going for it. I think it's also important to note the time, care and effort that John at CRO takes to pack and ship every purchase to make sure the coin reaches you as shown....not broken or mangled. If only some guys on Ebay could take note of this thread and not ship slabbed coins placed into the creases of a folded invoice inside a letter sized envelope and a couple of stamps on it.

That CRO John is a class act through and through.

I'm jealous. You got the hat and I didn't.

Nice coin by the way!

They must send those boxes and hats only to people they like ... nice coin ;-)

Yorkshireman

Love old gold!

I do like how John ships his coins.

It is especially cool when the CRO transport plane lands on your street.

Actually, we send a hat to everyone that asks for one at the time they place a coin order, and we ship them in those boxes. ;-)

Decent chap, yes, but a bit of a culinary neanderthal to pair a tannic red with steamed lobster.

YES!

That demands hard cider.

Either that or Ripple.

The last lobster I ate was in my former life at a sales meeting in 1993. Seriously.

Did a dog try to eat that cardboard coin protector

Nice coin!

I heard a forum rumor once that you had to send a years worth of navel lint to John before had enough material to weave a hat.

lordmarcovan

Nice dirty old gold.
