Speaking of the holiday season, that heavy-set guy in the red suit stopped by our place yesterday,
and in keeping with his long-standing annual tradition he left me a little surprise, the first gilt
proof to be added to my Davis/Withers collection! This one looks like the RRR Withers 473A
(Davis 111) but other ideas on that from you folks would certainly be welcome! (See below...it's
a lot brighter/flashier/gemmier in hand...had to tone down the lighting to avoid glare-back.)
Happy Hollandaise to all!

I never pay too much for my tokens...but every now and then I may buy them too soon.

I'm hoping other forumites will post their new holiday acquisitions as well.
Want to start the ball rolling?

Auction catalogs! And plenty of them.
BTW, nice token, Daltonista.
The picture does not begin to do justice to the absolutely mint state token or its mirrored surfaces.

Very cool token Daltonista.

That's one of the great things about our
hobby, IMHO...there's always more to learn.

I got a five-pack of white T-shirts, a new pair of suede moccasins (just in time to replace the old pair that the cat crapped in), and a dress shirt.
Numismatically speaking? Zilch, unless you count the $20 present I bought myself. (I'm not revealing that, lest my Darkside brethren laugh me off the boards.)

Good to see you back!
It's just that I got my PCGS grades.
