Things have certainly changed. This $20 has been sitting in my collection since I bought it when I was a kid (currently 69). Mowed a lot of lawns one summer to save up the money. Wish I had been able to buy more.

I broke down, couldn't wait for December 25. Opened it up
Great gifts, I am going to have to do some research to determine where the paper money is from.

Received my Santa package (I am assuming it is my Santa package) but will hold off till the 25th to open, unless my curiosity wins out before then.
Will post pictures after I open it.
Thank you Santa whoever and wherever you may be. |

| My Secret Santa package was placed in the hands of one of Santa's elves, disguised as a USPS employee, and is now on the way to its destination. |

In my humble opinion
The values of all "Details" coins are based on eye appeal and "how scarce is the coin". That Trade Dollar is really nice for a "details" graded coin. I would think you could get close to full value on it. |

Opened my Secret Santa gift today....wow... thank you so much Santa. Received 2 Canadian bills with sequential serial numbers, 3 Canadian large cents (1901, 1903, 1919), and a silver 5 cent (1910). Great coins to add to my small but growing assortment of Canadian Coins. Also an amazing 2006 Canadian Holiday Set.
If I can figure out how to photograph them I will post a picture. I usually use a flat plate scanner but copper coins just show up as round dark spots with no detail. |

| Looks like my package arrived. Al least it is a package from someone I do not know so I am assuming my Secret Santa sent it. Will place it under the tree and try to resist opening until Dec 25 |

| Package has been dropped off with one of Santa's elves masquerading as a USPS employee. Let the cross country journey begin. |

| I'm in. Always a blast to participate and see all the cool gifts. I will start digging through 60 plus years of collecting so I can put together a package that will bring a smile to someone. Thank you Richard for doing this every year. |

It matches the coin types from the Whitman US Type set album set (Large coins, Small coins) circa 1960. Which I believe followed the coin types as listed in the 1960 Red Book. Acquired the album set as a kid in the 60s but gave them away recently to a fellow member of our local coin club who wanted a bigger challenge than a Dansco 7070.
I have always liked the Capital Plastics Holders, I have a good size collection of them, some with coins, some without. I used to be able to pick them up at local coin stores cheap, the dealers bought collections, took out the coins and just wanted to get whatever they could for the holder, they would usually take my offer of a few dollars. |

| My grandfather, born 1888, gave my dad born 1916 an 1854 Arrows at date quarter when lost his first tooth. I was born 1955 and got the quarter when I lost my first tooth. My son born 1989 got the quarter when he lost his first tooth. Coin is in a holding pattern waiting on the next generation when it will pass to my first grandchild ( don't have one yet) |
