Title: Was Santa Numismatic This Year?
Post by: markn on December 25, 2012, 10:38:15 AM
Was Santa numismatically good to you this year?  Well apart from Secret Santa that is.  PPH and I both ignored our self imposed no-coins-for-Christmas-rule.  She got me a fantastic clipped 2c.

And gave her old Wavy 20 to me which she replaced during the year.  It wasn't a hand-me-down, it was a lovely gift.

Markn *grouchy* you make it sound "old" and "passed down". It's a perfectly lovable MS64 Wavy 20. Yes I scored another during the year so it was only fitting he of no wavy 2 should be gifted one.

It wasn't meant to sound like you gave me your old worn out wavy 20 that had been shoved under the couch :)  It's a lovely one and it is now precious to me :)

My better half signed me up to PCGS for a year. I think she put down the wrong one (US instead of International) but i've popped off an email to hopefully sort it out. It isn't the easiest site to navigate.
