Good to know it's arrived Jim, I trust you will like it. I put a fair bit of thought into it, referring to both your collecting interests and your current collection to find a suitable gap to fill.

Wouldn't it just annoy the hell out of you if you bought one between now and Christmas, not knowing that you already had one sitting in an envelope under your Christmas tree?

The one I sent hasn't even been processed at Mexico City (which it is still inside the normal time). Hopefully if it gets processed before the 20th; it will surely reach Europe before the holidays.
The super slow part is inside Mexico. Once in MXC the speed is comparable to any other  advanced metropoli... inside the country is a very different story.

Its must be cool to live in the Eurozone with so many 2 Euro CC's in circulation! And they make perfect gifts!

Got mine!

I'm probably not the easiest guy to find a present for so I'm very appreciative of an old friend Michel (mic-24-nl) taking so much trouble to find the perfect gift, a 1724 halfpenny. Not only does it fill an album slot, it's a series I was lacking entirely. Thank you Michel, also for the other gifts including chocolate coins, which I'm sure would have been delicious if I'd eaten them before Abby found them.

In the same delivery I got another Christmas present right out of the blue from Mark. A couple of nice coins and a crisp 10 bob note, perfect timing because I gave the one I had to Daryl earlier this month. Karma is quite real eh?

As you may imagine, I'm very pleased to be among such kind and decent people. I love Christmas.

Although it doesn't really fall within the scope of the current topic, I'd like to share my excitement with you over the package received from dptashy this evening. Two of the Morelo pesos I'm so fond of along with several unused 3rd Reich and British Empire stamps which I didn't have. Dan has been very patiently waiting for me to complete a list of the gaps in my album so it was an intuitive good choice. Even the envelope had the civil war stamps on it which was a very thoughtful touch.

The real highlight though was a 10 cent stamp issued by The Glorious Confederate States of America.

For once I'm left speechless.

I got mine today!! :8D Totally forgot to wait till Christmas to open it, haha!

BTW, I've been trying to reach Mark240590 to check if he has recieved mine or not. He still hasn't asnwered, but I just checked his collection list of Sweden and saw that he has marked it in his colelction, so I guess he has received it (unless he's a psychic and new which coin - and in which grade - he would get :P:wiz: )

I do have a question regarding Dato's last post though

well, so only my Corsican friend slep somewhere  :(
I cant find Corsicana in the list of participants, maybe I am missing something but I have checked it several times and he isn't there.
How did he get included ? didn't you have to post your wish to participate ?
Apologies if i'm barking up the wrong tree but I'm a little confused.
I deny nothing but doubt everything, opinions are made to be changed, how else is the truth to be gotten at.

Position no. 24. Probably he sent a PM with the wish to participate.

​​I have no idea what happened there !
​apologies for not getting back to you, I saw the message and forgot to reply ! I got it and it's a very pretty coin isn't it ? :) thanks very much !

I know he is on that list Andy, I couldn't find his request in the thread was what I meant.
Not seen his name before so I wanted to scope his coins but he's not there.

​Perhaps a friend of Frenchlover from the french site from france for french speakers who are from france swapping in french :8D oui oui I also got crossed eyes 8~

You should get on board for the next one, I found this kind of activities pretty funny, I was expecting more funny comments from everyone but for some reason things are very polite...

Probably because phil did not manage to pull any rice from anyone, and my secret santa did not send me any fake pounds (;0

Just for the record, Papprica did let me know he sent out the coin, but it looks like it never made it out of Romania, am I reading this correctly?

Your track and trace number :
RN897180375RO
Taking a break from swapping for a while, but still interested in pre 1799 Spanish coins, I will make time for that!

​Using a translating tool I would say the last tracking spot said it left Romania. You're from USA, right? USPS still have no trace of this tracking number, so this can be explained by customs only.

However, can we consider it as mailed?

That's exactly the reason I sat this one out JFF, everyone bar Corsicana sent their request via the thread.
Why have rules if they cant be followed ?
If you can send a PM then why not just put +1 in the thread ?
I always find it a little odd when people choose to remain anonymous/ ignore rules, probably just my sceptical nature but the rules are clear for all to follow yet there is always one that slips through.
Maybe Frenchlover can explain how he got entered?

​The package left Romania on 3 December. You should track it now on your country post office website. Anyway the things have changed, I sent letters with US destination and every time I was able to track them with USPS tracking service. Now, when I sent my Christmas letter to Walt, I tried to see if the letter arrived and USPS couldn't find my tracking number. I am happy that Walt received the letter but something is wrong with USPS tracking services, hope it's just now before holidays.

I wouldn't give up hope yet David, it's not at all unusual. Parcels are tracked using the system of the country of origin. When the arrive in the USA they either get held up for inspection by customs or they go on to a sorting facility. If the country uses a tracking system with compatible barcode scanners (Canada and most of Western Europe) then it's pretty straightforward but otherwise it can be a pretty lengthy wait. I guess that for non compatible mail it has to be manually entered. I have recently had an incoming parcel of stamps disappear from the radar for 6 weeks before it finally cleared and showed up again on the US tracking system.

If I recall correctly, once the parcel clears sorting / customs it can also be tracked via USPS.

Quote: "Donkey"​I've sent mine today. It was my first time sending coins and I was sweating while explaining to the post office clerk what the hell I'm sending and filling out that stupid customs sticker with some bullshit description. Since I'm new, I just hope it will arrive safely and JRo69 won't be completely disappointed.... :|
​I keep my fingers crossed...
It is Christmas morning and I rushed downstairs too open my package from Donkey like a little kid. As he stated above, "I just hope JRo69 won't be completely disappointed." Rest assured Dmitry, I AM THE POLAR OPPOSITE of completely disappointed. I am SPECTAULARLY THRILLED by your gift - the 2015 Remembrance Set from Canada, complete with a Canadian Mint bag. The set contains the $2 coin of Lt. Col. john McCrae writing the famous poem "On Flanders Fields" and the regular and colorized versions of the poppy quarter, in the commemorative folder.
This is so amazing, Dmitry. Thank you so, so much.

Seems written in Greek, try to check Byzantine coinage as well, I've seen some follis with full text like this on the catalog, but if in silver, maybe unregistered...

Today I received a letter from France, so I thought "Oh a letter from my sister". But when I looked at the sender it wasn't her address so I called the bomb squad and K9 unit; and had it burnt...

Well, after a whole month I got my Xmass coin!

Frenchlover do you have the energy to run this again for 2016???

I think we could start a bit early this year to have some cool categories so people can subscribe on those ones and maybe we get more people on board this year!!!

Who else will be in?
