I opened up a package today not knowing what to expect, as I did not remember ordering anything. When I got it opened to my surprise it was a "MDCXXX" counterstamp IKE dollar from our fellow board member @1630Boston.

I feel honored and privileged to have received such a gift from a terrific board member. The generosity of this board never ceases to amaze me. This will be a piece that will never leave my collection.

Thanks for letting me share.

    Very generous gift. I’ll echo the sentiment about Boston, he’s a real asset to the forum.

    Yep....I just got home 30 minutes ago and had 2 envelopes waiting...one was from ebay (SAE I was expecting....guy couldn't even be bothered to put it in a flip...was in a folded piece of card stock......) other was from @1630Boston .
    I had a feeling it was from him from the return address, but, I couldn't recall any trade/purchase from him....was racking my head and realized that he is just an uber cool dude doing something he wanted to do.

    Thanks man!

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
