Twelve days of Christmas
The initiative kickstarted by @silverd510 and followed by many community members to display their desired coins for this year's secret Santa (and after). I'm using it not just to show which items I'd love to receive as a gift to at least help out my secret Santa to find out what it is that I truly desire (inserts the voice of Tom Ellis from the series Lucifer here) but also to have my own little list to focus on once the new year starts.
Running behind on schedule again!
I thought I should probably get these last items of the series out this week so here we go. Today I just went to the Scottsdale mint to see which series they have for sale and saw this beautiful turtle. I believe I saw it in @dfinney's wish list earlier as well..
2024 Cayman Islands Loggerhead Turtle
Look at that pretty Cayman islands turtle design, I quite love it! It's one of the Caymann Sea life series silver rounds. I have only picked it to add it to my favourites as I needed a few more items for my wish list this year, but I bet I can not get my hands on these easily over on this side of the world, oof. This is the reason that I often just don't browse on the sites of the mints that I love because it sucks if I can't get it (or have to pay a high premium).
Honestly, I love how they did this watery effect by the shiny finish (I'm sure it has a name but you get what I mean..lol). It's just one of these rounds that both sides are cool, which is nice. The price is also ok I think with 38 bucks..
Some extra info and of course I will leave the direct link to the coin, this is also the source for all screenshots above.
Secret Santa
As planned, I spent today to figure out how to get my Secret Santa delivered best, I wasn't sure yet about going for normal, registered mail or a package yet. I thought it was smart to get the dimensions sorted for each of these things and then figure out the best approach but when I tried to register the package today (without having it fully ready but hoping to get the label printed), I got stuck halfway and could not get through the fields without errors.
It's possible this is the "correos" website being shit but also me being a dumbass not understanding what they mean. Either way, I will decide how to pack it tomorrow and drop it off instead, hoping the lady on the counter doesn't make any errors and I'm surely going to double check before paying because they are a nightmare to deal with in case of errors.
I'm nervous about the whole process, afraid I do something wrong with the address because it's another country so totally different from what I know (in three different countries that I lived in). Either way, I'm hoping it will be leaving tomorrow, and even more so that it arrives on time!
I liked that one too =)

You have created a Precious Gem!
That can be nerve racking, sending valuables overseas and dealing with customs forms is a nightmare. I deal with them occasionally on eBay sales. Research it the best you can so they don't lead you astray at the correos.
Great minds think alike, I love that coin too and had it down a couple days ago on my list too!

I've known Scottsdale for it's remarkable representation of textures that literally give "depth" to their designs. I recall that recent Samoan Mermaid series coins did a new texture mimicking underwater as what is known as 'Watermark' texture in the background. I believe the ideal came from vintage glass panes sourced from old homes having a pleasing ripple texture to them. I hope these innovative new textures are here to stay, giving us a new way to add value to coin design.
Kudos to their new crop of artists.
