What would you want for Christmas? (numismatically speaking)

With Christmas approaching, the question must be raised - What do you want for Christmas? A specific coin, literature, or something else related to the hobby? As a limiting factor (for those who are already seeing visions of Pan-Pac octagonals or Humbert gold), let's try to limit your suggestions to under $500. Fair enough? Let's see what we can come up with. **Disclaimer** This is all done in fun, don't get your hopes up otherwise.

Why doesn't that surprise me? That one is a beauty! I was posed with this question earlier, and was at a loss for what to pursue. I think I've come up with a real winner though, as I was browsing V-Coins. It'll have to be a surprise, and I doubt I'll even get to see it before Christmas. I'll just say this - It's NOT a jeton this time, it's much closer to your area of specialty, Regandon.

I've said too much already. I had been looking for an affordable (yet nice) hammered gold coin for a while....not much luck there. I searched hundreds of medals on MA-Shops...nothing much struck me as of yet. The talers seem interesting, yet out of reach for the ones that caught my attention. I finally stumbled across something interesting on V-Coins, twice the price that I'd have preferred to pay, but you all know how that goes. I placed my order, and I've been notified (by Santa) that I won't be seeing it until Christmas, but I can live with that. Ok, a small hint - Hamburg. I guess that's a big hint, but ok.
