Newbie 9000 post members celebration

I think 9000 posts is an awesome achievement and I'd like to celebrate it for Newbie with a reverse give-a-way-all coins go to Newbie!
But I don't want to do this alone and I know you guys are generous to a fault...image I'll pick a nice coin from my collection tonight and put Newbie's name on it and you guys do the same-we'll send him a nice care package to compensate for his tough time.image
Any suggestions to make this a real gala event are certainly invited.

Then when he comes back to us, he can have a give-a-way of his own!

    Just let me know where and when.

    Congratulations on 9000 Newbie!

    I've got a Polish coin with a ship on it that I've been meaning to send him, and just haven't gotten around to it.

    Count me in. I have his address, but I shouldn't release it without his permission.

    We ARE watching you.

    Has anyone been able to establish whether he is alive and well? In all honesty, anything could have happened. I know if I keeled over or was in an accident, neither my wife nor anyone else would be on this forum explaining the situation for me. The appears to me to be very odd behavior for Newbie...

    I'd be willing to do the gathering, if anyone's interested. I have his address, and I can forward everything along.

    PM me if you want my address.

    JohnZ, do the gathering...

    In view of the US Mint's announcement yesterday, I have decided not to send any coins at this time. Instead:
