1975 UAE 1 fil

I have several copies of the 1975 UAE 1 fil included in my 30+ Franklin Mint's Coin Sets of All Nations for the United Arab Emirates.  Whatever single copies I have, though, are either with fingerprints or of low quality.

Last week, I received this coin I won from an eBay auction.  I'd grade it AU, so I'm still on the lookout for another coin in UNC grade.

Nad Al Sheba Golf Club (Dubai) ball marker

Last week, the red Nad Al Sheba Golf Club ball marker I won from an eBay auction arrived.  It joins a similarly-designed ball marker that came in dark blue.

The Nad Al Sheba Golf Club is currently closed for renovations.  It should be reopened as the Meydan Golf Club within the next few months.  (I can't wait to buy ball markers under the new name!)

Hello, World!

I've been collecting coins and stamps, albeit on-and-off, since I was a little kid. I branched off into coin covers in 2008; into golf ball markers, 2009. [My wife wanted to learn to how to play golf, but I'm not really interested in it. When we visited the golf shop at the then Al Ain Palm Sports Resort back in late 2009, I noticed that ball markers could make for a good collection. I bought two different ball markers on that day, and I've been acquiring more ball markers from the UAE ever since.]

I'd like to share my new acquisitions (and perhaps old items, too) as I try to build my coin, stamp, coin cover, and golf ball marker collections.
