Christmas Surprise

I was able to come up with the money to get this for my wife for Christmas (Thanks to transactions from some of yall).
She is a big fan of New Orleans Mint coins, and this caught her eye a few months back. I thank yall again for the help and support, she is going to love this set!

    That is an awesome gift for the wife. Even more so since it sounds like she enjoys coins, too.

    Merry Christmas to you both!

    Merry Christmas to you as well! I happily gave her the bug for loving coins a couple years back. Her love is O mint coins, Shipwreck coins, and Ancient coins (she does not have poor taste haha).

    Merry Christmas

    My dad bought me a set of those same coins back in 1963 after the huge Treasury release.

    I look at how nice those coins are and all I can say is "O".

    Merry Christmas.

  • Thank you all for the comments!! I think she is going to be over the moon...there is a small chance she might get a tiny bit upset for just a second because we decided to get new furniture as our Christmas gift to one another. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all in the CU family!

    Like the furniture, you could say they are for both of you. :D If she likes coins, she should be ecstatic when she sees those.

    Great-looking gift! I'm sure she'll appreciate that. I wish my wife had an interest in coins, although she totally supports my pursuit of them.
