Adam,
I am glad that you enjoy what you get.
I was confused and hesitate to answer you since it was suppose to be secret.
What grade you think that coin was? AU or UNC or lower? I just want to learn to compare using actual coin.
Samuel Tan

I don't have alot of experience with those, but it is definitely borderline on unc.

Muckeye · October 09, 2009, 10:20:12 PM

Fingers crossed everybody, More good luck will come our way.
More coins will be delivered in the near future

:
regards, Muckeye.

The near future is today! I just received a glorious Unc 2007 Aussie $1......"Mob of Roos". The postmark was Oct 1st, I received it today...Oct 10th from Charters Towers, Aus. No name, but thank you whoever you are for the most exquisit coin! Goose

tyjulie · October 11, 2009, 10:34:58 PM

my gift arrived Friday
Thanks

Triggersmob · October 11, 2009, 10:35:42 PM

Mine just arrived today.
Thank you very much Kitty.
I just love it.

Triggersmob · October 11, 2009, 10:36:26 PM

and the reverse.

Nighthawk · October 11, 2009, 10:46:03 PM

Steve can you tell if that's the O/CC variety? It does not look like it to me, although you might want to check it with a glass.

Triggersmob · October 11, 2009, 11:50:43 PM

Is this any better?
It looks like just "O" to me.
Maybe you could grade it for me too.

Templar · October 12, 2009, 04:39:56 AM

BEAUTIFUL COIN--NO RIM DAMAGE--DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT WAS CLEANED---MAYBE VERY FINE+
BUT I AGREE WITH NIGHTHAWK --THERE LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING ABOUT ONE O"CLOCK ON THE O--MAYBE IT IS A O OVER CC--NEED A STRONGER GLASS--GOOD LUCK---ALL IN ALL A GREAT LOOKING MORGAN

YOUR SERVANT--THE TEMPLAR

Nighthawk · October 12, 2009, 12:03:38 PM

I agree with the Templar. Looks like it could be the "O/CC" variety. I magnified it to 200% but still am not certain. Sorry Steve.

Nighthawk · October 12, 2009, 12:10:09 PM

Steve, at 400% magnification it does look very much like another mintmark underneath the "O". Surprise! What do you think?

ElleKitty · October 12, 2009, 09:23:15 PM

I think I'm surprised, and glad I sent a really interesting coin? I have to admit, I picked this up pretty inexpensively at a Coin Club meeting a few weeks ago.

I am glad that it finally arrived!

Triggersmob · October 12, 2009, 11:00:56 PM

Ellekitty, you mean you didn't lavish lots of money on me

Just kidding, it's a beautiful coin and I thank you very much.

I have had a close look with my magnifier and all I can see, is what appears to be a small cud next to the "O".
No sign of any "CC".

Humpybong · October 12, 2009, 11:33:06 PM

We certainly have home great members here at the castle. Looks like everyone was very happy with there gifts.

Many know who the sender is but some do not?

Many thanks Nevol for a job well done.

Triggersmob · October 13, 2009, 02:02:00 AM

I'll second that Humpy, many thanks Nancy.

I think we only have Yass and Nohope587 left to confirm delivery, then we will have 100% delivery.

NoHope587 · October 13, 2009, 05:22:37 AM

Lets assume my gift has arrived. I will not be home again until November some time. I will be sure to post once I get home and confirm its there.

Absolutely correct! I'll wait another day or two to see if Yass has received his gift, and Nohope587 will let us know in due course.

Thanks to everyone for participating. I was surprised there were only 14 people that entered...

Maybe we could do another one for the end of year and have a longer run up time?

I think a new years/secret santa giveaway would be a great idea.

Templar · October 13, 2009, 08:28:27 AM

I HOPE WE CAN HAVE A CHRISTMAS/NEW YEAR EXCHANGE THAT WOULD BE VERY NICE AND BECAUSE OF ALL THE TALK ABOUT THIS ONE--MAYBE MORE WOULD JOIN IN

JUST A THOUGHT--TEMPLAR

Yass · October 13, 2009, 12:11:12 PM

Nohope587's has been sent and probably would have arrived by now. No point in keeping it secret as my name is on the package.

Mine hasn't arrived yet, but I'm sure it will. I never get to the Post Office and have to rely on my wife. She has a habit of leaving mail in the car when she gets home, and if I don't ask, she don't tell

It makes me think to start collecting Ausie coins

.

Good - that was the general idea!!!!!

Muckeye · October 14, 2009, 11:01:42 PM

On Nancy's behalf I would like to second the remarks of Sir Humpybong and Sir Triggersmob.
Job well done Nancy, a credit to you.
regards, Muckeye.

Templar · October 15, 2009, 01:01:06 AM

NANCY--IT IS AN HONOR TO KNOW YOU AND I WISH TO JOIN THE OTHERS IN THANKING YOU FOR THE TIME AND EFFORT YOU PUT INTO THE GIFT EXCHANGE

ALWAYS YOUR SERVANT--THE TEMPLAR

Tobyle · October 15, 2009, 07:20:04 AM

I agree with the above comments as well ...... thanks Nancy!

Nighthawk · October 15, 2009, 09:47:31 AM

THANKS NANCY!!!

Nevol · October 15, 2009, 10:29:19 AM

Aw shucks folks...It wasn't that big a deal.

Thanks all for the good wishes.

Yass · October 16, 2009, 08:37:48 AM

I received my secret goodies yesterday. They were a proof Washington Silverpiece commemorating George Washington's 250th Anniversary and a District of Columbia "P' Quarter. Superb! They are greatly welcomed into my collection. Thank you.

Nevol · October 16, 2009, 09:05:51 AM

All gifts except nohope587's have now been received. As he is away from home for a while and I am 100% confident that he will confirm delivery when he returns home next month.

Thanks to all participants
