edited July 24, 2022 7:21PM in U.S. Coin Forum

I will be 70 on July 24th, however it will be my 71st birthday. In 1972 coming back from Vietnam I boarded the flight on the 25th of July in the Philippines and landed to refuel in Hawaii on the 24th. Some say it doesn't count but it's my story and I'm sticking to it. On August 3rd it'll be my one year anniversary of being on the Forum. I really enjoyed this last year and hopefully many more to come. To celebrate I'm giving away one complete set of West Point quarters for 2019 and 2020. Also I'm including a proof clad Tuskegee Airmen and George Washington crossing the Delaware quarter. I also will be celebrating my 45th Wedding Anniversary on July 30th. Therefore I'm including 2 bullion bullets. Please only one entry per member. The giveaway will close at 6:00 p.m. central Standard Time on Sunday the 24th. I will try to announce the winner midday on Monday the 25th. The items that I'm giving away are pictured below. Thank you for your participation and this time in my life.






I have decided to draw a second name due to the response that I've gotten and thank you so much for that. What the second name will get is a quarter ounce silver 22 LR round and a 1 oz titanium round coin. Thanks again for all the well wishes that I've received so far.


I'm overwhelmed with all the thank yous and the great response, and I'm very very thankful for all the comments and all the well wishes. Therefore, I have decided to draw a third name and this is a picture of what the third drawing giveaway will be. Thank you all and really and truly appreciate everything that's been said.

    @jclovescoin. These are from new bank rolls not from circulation. I have so far found 30 from circulated bank rolls. i found 4 last week in a box from the credit Union. Hopefully who ever wins will enjoy the Quarters. I also love these bullion bullets. The copper round is a 5 oz 4-10 shell (it is sold as a 12 gauge shell). the other is a iron 50 cal BMR round. I Have some silver round and may add a .22 LR round (1/4 Oz AG).
