What's on your Christmas Coin List?
I can't believe the holidays are right around the corner. In the spirit of the season, what's on everyone's holiday gift list?
One coin that I am hoping to receive is the Dutch Commemorative Architecture coin. It might be the most unique coin design I have ever seen. It doesn't appear to be available at the Dutch Mint any longer, so I might have to help my wife locate it, if she wants to give it to me as a gift. Maybe we will get one for our son, too.

20th Anniversary Silver Eagle Set
While I know I won't get this as a gift, I plan on using the money I receive for Christmas to help purchase this set. I will just pay the difference out of my own pocket. I started collecting on Christmas 2006 when I received a coin as a gift, so I just missed out on this set from the US Mint. :(
That Dutch Commemorative Architecture coin is very impressive looking coin! I've never heard of it until just now. Hope you get your hands on one!

That Dutch coin is really cool! Unique too. The way they did the face is like pointellism. (SP?) I wonder if thats what they were going for.

On my Christmas list is an album for the Mercury dime collection I plan to start, an unc Merc to put in it which I ordered for my mom because she would have gotten ripped off trying to shop for a coin lol, and a book about Walking Liberty Halves.
Also, my dad asked me if I would prefer old coins or new coins from the mint. I said old coins, so he'll probably pick something out of his lock box at the bank for me. I hope so anyway. He's got lots of good stuff in there.

I can't really have a Christmas Coin list - I'd have to pick out and/or buy the things I wanted, and most are too expensive to ask for as a gift.
So, I'm going to buy myself a MS70 2008 Silver Eagle with the 07 reverse. That's my Christmas list. Anyone have an opinion on what a fair price for that specific coin would/should be...?
Happy Holidays!

In response to some of the questions on the Dutch Architecture coin, the obverse creates an image of the Queen by using a circling configuration of the names of famous architects. Here is a detailed description of the design and design process by the artist behind the coin.
I found two from a non-US ebay seller with a BIN at $41 so I snapped them up. Haven't seen any more available since. Hope they arrive in time for Christmas!
