The "Give-a-gift" to Paradisefound thread. WE DID IT!

Member @Paradisefound has given away countless items from her collection here on the forums, and as a relatively new forum member really brought an incredible amount of positivity to this place. I think it is time to give back.
In another thread @Broadstruck found a cool error coin at Sullivan Numismatics. It is a Sacagawea Dollar that has been struck with a piece of pink and white plastic embedded into the coin. It's placement couldnt be better, because it looks like she is wearing a Lotus Flower in her hair. Even stranger is its strong resemblance to Paradisefound's current avatar, as pointed out by Broadstruck himself.
Sometimes coins belong places, and this one definitely needs to go to her. To that end, I'm putting up the first $50, and asking 19 others to step forward and give karma a whirl. Just reply to this thread if you wish to be a part of this. When we get to $1000, we'll PayPal the money directly to @SullivanNumismatics

Yay, I'm in !!!
Do we individually paypal Sullivan directly each? I'll throw in 50 for it.
Thanks, and that is the plan. I've emailed him and waiting for him to respond. Once we reach the goal (and at this rate, it should be tonight or tomorrow) I'll PM everyone with the details.

Very good intentions and I truly wish projects well to give our numismatic friend in Hawaii tokens of friendship and respect as she has generously done to others.

Count me in two times DCW.
Giving makes me feel way better than receiving.
You're a generous guy, Raybo! I think we'll count you just once for now, though. We're already halfway there and I'm sure others would like to give, too.
Thank you!
$500, folks! Just $500 more...

I won 2 DC pieces from @Paradisefound a while back so it is good to give back a little. Glad to participate. Thanks DCW for putting this together.
I'm in... that coin is a perfect match for her!
@jedm , you've brought us to within striking distance, my friend! You are in!
$850!

Being a Native American coin and needing 20 x $50 reminds me of a joke...
A political offers a old Indian woman 50 Bucks if she votes for him to which she replies "At my age 1 Buck plenty"
9/10 there
@SiriusBlack brings us to $900!

@bolivarshagnasty
Only question left...
So what kinda gift wrap do you use for a Labor Day present?
We did it, ladies and gentlemen! A group of complete strangers came together today and raised $1,000 in just five hours...to give something special to someone whom we admire but have never met.
There is hope for the world, afterall.

I don't have much to say .... contrary to my normal self
other than ....
MAHALO from the BOTTOM of MY HEART!
I already had @Paradisefound info from when I previously sold her a token, so the coin is getting directly shipped to her. I put up the dough on my credit card. I'll PM those who pledged to contribute so that you can PayPal me.
Thank you to everyone who made this happen so quickly, and @Paradisefound , enjoy your new coin from all of us. We all knew from the moment we saw it, that it belonged in your collection!

Since I am late to this wonderful event,
my $50 will go to the local no kill shelter.
Thanks to @DCW for organizing this.
Thank You!
Or we could keep this going and also buy her a Dan Carr gift certificate?
Count me in on the DC gc. Let me know
where to send it. The no kill shelter
still receives.
