********* FrattLaw's 2nd Annual 4th of July YN Contest!!!!!

FrattLaw

Okay here it is, we made it. I was a little worried we wouldn't have enough donations, but the coins have been pouring in.

This Essay Contest is open to all YNs between the ages of 5-13 years old, whether they are a member here or not, whether they received a goodie-bag last year is also immaterial. If you can type it, you can enter them or you can send the hand written entries to my PO Box. Either way, the contest closes 12 midnight on July 4th. Entries after that time will not be accepted. No help from parents, brothers, uncles, friends, neighbors ect. I want original material from the kids. That's what makes this so special. If it sounds like it was written by a 44 year engineer, you won't be winning a prize.

Depending on the number of entries vs. donations, everyone who enters might end up getting a goodie-bag or the top 4 Finalists might only receive prizes. Obviously the more donations I get, the more there will be to give out to everyone. Prizes will be announced at the end of the contest. COIN DONATION LIST -- Prizes

Any questions -- PM me.

PM me with your essays. Please note you are giving me permission to post your essays on these Boards by submitting them for the contest. If you would rather send the original essays written by your kids, forward them to

Michael Fattorosi
PO Box 7865
Northridge, CA 91327

Okay here's the topic ---------------------

What is your favorite coin and why is it so special to you?????

It can be as long ansd detailed as you want or as brief as necessary. All entries will be judged against those in it's class. Meaning a 5 year old might win over a 13 year old, if the work submitted by the younger contestant was exceptional for a 5 year old versus an average essay for a 13 year old. Obviously the older you are, the better your essay should be.

Have Fun!!!!!! Happy 4th of July!!!!!

And thanks to everyone who donated in order to make this possible!!

Oh, by the way. Do not post the Essay(s) here, but do post a response indicating that you or someone you know is going to enter. At least that way I'll have an idea of how many are going to enter.

I believe my youngest two are each working on something (8 and 13) ... my oldest is a few years too old (he's 16, and an ANA YN).

I think this a pretty great thing you are doing, and although I am very new to these boards, I expect I'll be around a while (I've been collecting for 17 years), so please let me know next time you do one of these so I'll have time to send in a donation.

Only 8 entries for 600+ coins, books, slabs and supplies? Those are going to be some fantastic goodie bags!

FrattLaw

Okay --- the contest is now closed.

I've got 9 entries and I'll give it a couple of days to check the PO Box for snail mail.

But otherwise as I did last year ---- EVERYONE who entered gets a GoodyBag full of coins!!!!!!

Congrats and thanks to everyone who helped make this a success.

If you entered, or entered someone -- I NEED AN ADDRESS -- hard to mail the coins out without one!!

Please PM your addy so I can start sending these baggies out this week.

I just wanted to thank everyone that participated in this contest and give a special thanks to FrattLaw for running it. My sister received her YN package and I can't describe how happy she was! I must've spent hours explaining exactly what everything was and I only hope her enthusiasm toward the hobby will continue! Thanks again everyone!
