Although I have collected for a long time, I recently joined this forum, but have tried to be an active and positive member of the community. I was trying to decide a way to do a giveaway to show my appreciation of all of advice and opinions of everyone. Therefore, this will be an interesting contest and giveaway.

I love NASCAR and tomorrow's Nextel Cup race is at Michigan. There will be a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place with each person receiving a coin.

Here are the rules:

1) Each person picks 3 drivers from the race.
2) You must post your three drivers no later than 10am EST tomorrow morning.
3) I will average the 3 pics as to how they finish in the race and whoever has the best finish average wins. If there is a tie, the youngest YN will take the better finish position.
4) Once you submit your three drivers, you cannot edit and change them, any edited posts will be disallowed automatically.

Okay, now for the prizes........

1st place-- will receive a ANACS 1940-S MS64 Gold Toned Nickel almost a 5 stepper but just missed on a small tick
2nd place-- will receive a PCI Slabbed 1983-S PR69 Cameo Lincoln Cent
3rd place-- will receive a 2003 Kennedy Clad Proof DCAM Half Dollar


Thanks to everyone has helped make my experience here on the forums a pleasant and educational one. Good Luck!!!!

    Am I to take it as this is strictly for the YNs?
    What is money, in reality, but dirty pieces of paper and metal upon which privilege is stamped?

    I kept saying that nascar and numismatics don't mix- but in this case I guess they do... image

    Flyin' blind, I'll say Jimmie Johnson, Rusty Wallace (is his name really Rusty??), and Greg Biffle..... image

    The race is half over and alot of people picked Jeff Gordon ,who blew the motor up in his car.

    Racing and buying coins on Ebay have alot in common. You never know what is gonna happen!!!!

    Good Luck to all who entered the contest.
  • Jody526Jody526 Posts: 296 ✭
