Woo Hooo :yahoo:
This year has been a complete success and many thanks to Ozcoins for taking the time and effort of organising this :good:
This is a great way for members to "connect" with each other and hopefully next year we will have many more members participating

Opened my Secret Santa present this morning. A very nice birth year date penny. Thank you secret Santa.

And Santa might have influenced the 50¢ bag I just noodled;
•Excellent condition incused millennium.
•Similar condition 1993
•Another 1993 but not quite as good
•1985
•Several good condition Centenary of Federation (plus a few not quite so good)
•and a swag of 1981 Charles and Diana all around EF and aUNC!
I must have been a very good boy this year but I can't remember that.

If you found all those, then Santa MUST have been involved!

A big thanks to my Secret Santa!
A very thoughtful gift.
I made a post a while ago about not having found any counterfeit $2 coins and now I have one!
Photos to follow shortly.

QuotePics of the incused?

If you insist. Here is the better 1993 and the incused. The incused does look much better "in the hand" than in these crappy photos -very good lustre.
There is a flaw at about 11:20 on the obverse of the incused. Looks like a strike through or, possibly, a planchet flaw to me.

My excuse for the poor photos is that it is Christmas day, which can be a rather full(!) day here and busy with coming and going visit commitments.

Very nice Jeff! Great finds!

I am afraid that I cannot identify my Secret Santa, but whoever he/she is. many many thanks for the gift.

I couldn't believe it when I opened it up today. (We had Christmas today instead of yesterday)

Once again, many many thanks.
