This was very difficult to judge, so here's what I did. First, I eliminated Stuart, even though I thought his entry was the best, but he wins too much very cool stuff around here. Then, I eliminated the darkside stuff (neat, but not my taste). Next, I knocked out the patterns (though very cool, I will never be able to acquire them and that makes me angry ). Then, I picked the coins I liked the best of those submitted, and it was VERY difficult.
First place goes to:
Tsaach for the 57-S SS Central America $20
Second place to:
Relayer for the funky toned 1904 $20
If either of these two fails to claim their prize, the third place finisher will be:
Orville for the gorgeous Type II Liberty $20 and the numismatic lesson
Honorable mention to Baley for the US Mint document, and AdamGold, Tjkillian, and LanLord for coins that I would like to have in my collection.
Congrats to all the winners! And a tip o' the hat to RYK for a cool giveaway!
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
WOW, thanks Robert, I am totally psyched. Great thread

Family, kids, coins, sports (playing not watching), jet skiing, wakeboarding, Big Air....no one ever got hurt in the air....its the sudden stop that hurts. I hate Hurricane Sandy. I hate FEMA and i hate the blasted insurance companies.

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
