The listing, .999 FINE SILVER (31 grams)1998 Christmas Coin with Santa has ended.
This was a Christmas gift from the wonderful elderly lady I work for. I am short on family at Christmas time,, so this beautiful, ".999 Fine Silver" coin is going to be in a drawer for the next...rest of my life... so I am offering it to the Listian Community. Listia asked for Holiday and Seasonal stuff, (and apart a million Mardi Gras Beads, literally 50 pounds, can't Listia them because of HIGH shipping!!I), I only have this coin. I actually have two coins that are both from 1998( the other is a snowman skiing), but I should keep one for sentimental reasons. I have been ripped off and scammed so many times on Listia with "gold" and "silver", 3 silver rings that were NOT!! I have taken as many photos as possible to try to show where, on the back, on three adjoining ribbons, it say, ".999", then "Fine" then "Silver". This is a giant, 31 GRAM, pure silver Christmas Commemorative Coin. My friends husband was a Coin Collector, and I believe he bought these every year for her, as well as ornaments from the Danbury Mint. I could have taken it to my local silver trader and got my Troyan ounce of silver, but it means more than that to me. I would like to convert this beautiful gift of pure this .999 SILVER coin into something I will wear and appreciate!! I hope the Listian community is not too jaded by scammers to realize a great opportunity, when it comes along!! My friend and her husband both went through the Great Depression, and every gift she has ever given me was gold or silver. I think the people who went through the depression lost faith in Paper Money, and only Gold and Silver could really be expected to keep it's worth. I am she would want me to have something I will wear and be able to think of her, rather than something that will disappear into a jewelry drawer...forever...
