    not much in the way of a high dollar coin- but thought it would be an added incentive- seems some items are 40's related!

  • This is really rolling now......it's nice to see we can all come together for such a worth while cause. My hats off to all of the contributing members, especially Madmarty who was the first to come up with the idea from what I saw and also to TUMUSS for taking on the task of listing the auction and collecting all of the coins image

    Maybe PCGS will come up with some grading certs on Monday. That would be a nice gesture on their part...

    You need some gold in there. Something OLD, too. This qualifies on both counts, and since India was one of the affected countries, I suppose it's triply appropriate. Consider this my contribution.

    image

    (In the small chance I am unable to find this coin in all my stuff, and I have to send a replacement, that replacement will be double the value, though not an old gold coin.)

    Either the International Red Cross or Unicef would be fine by me. I think you ought to put a link to this thread in the auction, maybe.
