More great prizes arrived yesterday, this time from RLYNN. A Panamanian gold coin - YES, GOLD; some very mice MS and Proof 1,5,10 and 25 cent pieces. Others prizes are "in the mail" I've been told.
I think he may have been swamped with all of the donations. While this is a lot of work for him, I think it shows a great contribution by the board members.
Maybe we will grab a few more collectors into the search.
Becoming informed but still trying to learn every day! 1-Dammit Boy Oct 14,2003
Received three very nice 2002 $1 US Silver Eagles from Silverandvinyl as additional prizes. Thank you very much!
I will try and post all winners and prizes on Sunday night November 10 by 9:00 PM EST. Please be patient just another day or so. Thank you. Remember - all who entered will win something.
I am pleased to announce the WINNERS of the FIRST YOUNG COLLECTORS CONTEST !!!!!!!!!!!!
Since there were only FIVE entries and all the ENTRIES were very well thought out, I have decided to award 5 FIRST PRIZES !!!!
The winners are:
Mark Moran (via FranklinWI PM)
Jeremy (via Airplanenut PM)
KlectorKid (via KlectorKid PM)
thepunkrockcoinguy (via thepunkrockcoinguy PM)
Morey Rosner (age11) (via 1907Quarter PM)
I will place the prizes in 5 envelopes and randomly mail an envelope to each entrant - that way nobody will know exactly who wins what until the coins arrive. Each winner will receive approximately 7 Indian Head cents, 3 1/2 Lincoln cents (you figure the 1/2), an IKE Proof dollar (ANACS), several Mercury dimes, a Silver Eagle, a Washington quarter, a Kennedy half dollar, 3-4 European coins - mostly Euros, and a coin book. There is also one small 12K Panamanian gold coin and a few other odds and ends that I will throw in to try and make the packages as equal as possible. Please understand that some of the prizes I only have "3 of", so I will substitute an additional coin, but you won't know what it is until it arrives!
IMPORTANT !!!!!!! I want to be sure that NOBODYwas left out who entered - so if ANYONE else entered PLEASE PM me IMMEDIATELY - I only have four entries in my mailbox.
MANY, MANY thanks to all who donated prizes - ALSO, some prizes will be sent to the winners by the donors themselves - so the winners can expect an additional package.
WINNERS - please send me a PM with the name/address where I should send the coins - I would like to mail them by WEDNESDAY - but I need mailing address.
I hope the winners will post a list of their prizes after they receive them.
Thanks all for your help, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO DONATED PRIZES, and a BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO THE YOUNG COLLECTORS!!!!!!!!!

"People my hate you while you are alive, but they will love you when you're dead."
Since I got the prize coins, I want to say what I got.
-The one that I think is most special is a Lincoln Cent, 1964, which is graded Proof 67. (I was in tears)
-Then came six foreign coins. They were a 1973 Canadian Ten Cent Coin, an India 1996 (25 paise) and four Euros. (I was really interested)
-The one my dad and myself liked alot was the Walking Liberty, 2002 (I'm showing it to my Grandfather tonight)
-When I opened the package, I found a 1972, Kennedy Half (I LIKE IT)
-The last one that is a rogue, was a B.U, 1943 D, Jefferson Nickel (One of my favorite in the package)
-My second to last coin type I got was three Lincoln Cents. They were 1923, 1930 and 1920 D. 1920 D was graded VF-30, while the other two were VF. (It gets better!)
-The final type of coin I got were three Indian Head Cents. The first two were 1902 and 1897 and they were in XF. There was also a 1901 and my dad and I believe it is AU-50.(My third or second favorite)
-I would just like a final thanks to Pushkin who started this contest and the wonderful people who donated the coins. (Thanks again)
