GIFTS OF THE WISE MEN

(reduced size image)

Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh were the three gifts the Wise Men (also called The Three Kings or Magi) brought from the East to celebrate the birth of the baby Jesus (Matthew 2:11). Though many people have heard of Frankincense and Myrrh and have even sung about them in Christmas carols, few have actually seen, let alone owned, these precious substances. Frankincense and Myrrh are aromatic resins extracted from rare trees. Frankincense, an almost white resin, was one of the most prized and costly substances in the ancient world, worth more than its weight in gold. It was used in medicines and incense (Exodus 30:34). Myrrh, a dark resin, was widely used in perfumes, incense and embalming. Gold has been long valued due to its beauty and resistance to corrosion. It has been used in jewelry and commerce for thousands of years.

We have housed this historic set in an attractively carved 4 by 6 inch (10cm. x 15cm.) hand made wooden box imported from India. Included are natural gold flakes and nuggets as well as actual Frankincense and Myrrh resin imported from the Middle East. A descriptive card explains the significance of the items. This set makes an excellent teaching aid or a precious and long remembered gift. This is your chance to own or give "the original Christmas gifts".

GUITAR COINS FROM SOMALI REPUBLIC

Guitar coins featuring classic guitar designs.

The multi-colored Guitar coins have proved unbelievably popular with coin collectors, guitar enthusiasts, Rock 'n Roll fans and the general public. These multi-color guitar coins are designed after famous electric guitars. The coins are dated 2004 and were issued to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Rock 'n Roll. The designs include the classic red and white Fender Stratocaster, an American Flag Stars and Stripes Gibson Flying V, a black Gibson Flying V, a pink star Guitar used by various rock stars including Gary Glitter and Abba, a blue Gibson X-Plorer and a yellow Klein. These six pieces complete the original series, though series has been so popular that I would not be surprised if some new designs are issued in the future.
The coins are 1 Dollar legal tender coins issued by the Somali Republic (though I seriously doubt any have ever circulated in Somalia). They are approximately 45mm (1.75 inches) long. We currently have all of the issues in silver plate and the American Flag guitar in copper-nickel. The designs of the copper-nickel and Silver-plated issues are identical.

The following six Guitar coins are Silver-plated

A MILLION DOLLAR BILL!

TRADITIONAL STYLE Mount Rushmore on reverse

$1,000,000 Bill, Modern Style
MODERN STYLE Ellis Island on reverse

$1,000,000 Bill, Santa Claus
SANTA CLAUS Santa's Sleigh & Reindeer on reverse

These look like a United States million dollar bill. Unfortunately they are not real. However they are a lot of fun to pass around, give as gifts and show off. They say "the first million is the hardest", so after you get this you can start on the second.
We can now offer three different styles of Million Dollar bills. The traditional style, which looks like the One Dollar Bill, The New Style which is similar to the newer $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 bills, and a Santa Claus note, which is perfect for holiday gifts. Your choice as to types, or you can mix and match in singles, lots of 10 and lots of 25. Sorry, only a single type at the per-100 price as these are pre-packaged.
Please specify type you want on the following items:

COINS BY THE POUND

These Pound lots include a wide assortment of coins from all over the world. The coins come from collections we purchase, leftovers from other dealers stock, foreign coins found in parking meters, bus fare boxes, and other sources.   As coins come in they are poured into a large bucket on the kitchen floor (that Lila would love to get rid of).   There are usually about 100 or so coins to the pound, depending on the mix. Most coins are circulated. These lots are as unsorted. As the orders come in the coins are scooped up, weighed and bagged. Each pound contains coins from many different nations, with few Canadian or Mexican coins. These lots provide hours of fun for both kids and adults. These make great gifts, good educational projects to help children learn about other nations, or are just having fun of sorting through a pile of world coins.
