Resuming the Toned Morgan Photography Contest / Tracking thread!

solid · July 13, 2005 12:59PM

First off, thanks go out to fivecents for providing the subject coin and allowing the contest
to continue, and to K6AZ for setting this up in the first place. I am simply providing the means
to finish up what was a great idea from the beginning!

I was also one of the originally scheduled participants, but will drop out of the contest at this point
in order to insure fairness.

My email address is: ken@solidcoin.com.

Below is a list of the original participants. If you have already imaged the coin, you should email your
contest image entry to me.

If you have not yet received the coin, please PM or email me with your mailing address and confirm that
you still want to participate.

The rules are the same as before, and stated again here for clarity:

1) Each participant will receive the coin, photograph it, and then mail it to the next participant. Be aware
that this is an A color coin, and please be sure to take normal precautions with it. It must be packaged
securely and insured for $650.

2) All participants have been assigned a number. This number must be placed in your photographs at
the lower left corner. Photographs can be either two images, one of each side, or a combined image of
both sides. Minimum size will be 500 pixels per side, with a maximum of 800. Once you have completed
your image, email it to me to host. Note: I will show the exact image you send to me and will not edit,
resize or compress the photo in any manner.

3) To make this fair to all involved, your images must not be posted here prior to me posting the images
for the contest.

The winner will receive a 1961-64 run of proof sets, compliments of fivecents!

That pretty much sums it up - if you have any questions, please PM or email me.

Below is a list of the participants - Let the games resume!

Ken just emailed my entries to you

Barry · July 14, 2005 7:28AM

Just emailed my pics. Thanks for the ttt. I missed this thread when it was first posted.

solid · July 14, 2005 1:45PM

Coin is on it's way to messydesk!

I'm updating the thread to confirm when I receive contest photos.

Ken

solid · July 15, 2005 10:46PM

ttt for the weekend crew.

Coinhusker1 · July 16, 2005 1:46AM

<< Can't wait to see the results! I hope the old folks' home has a computer for me to use

>>

And you will have 2,000,000 posts by then!!

solid · July 16, 2005 4:32AM

Now, now, we're nearly halfway through the list!

Ken

xbob · July 19, 2005 4:33AM

My pics have been emailed to you Ken. Thanks for reviving the contest!

VTCoins · July 25, 2005 1:47AM

Does anyone know where the coin is now?

I sent it off to messydesk, but have not heard from him.

fivecents · July 25, 2005 2:32AM

fivecents · July 25, 2005 2:35AM

<< I sent it off to messydesk, but have not heard from him. >>

Maybe he lost it on his messy desk.

solid · July 25, 2005 2:36AM

Yes, messydesk received the coin the same day he was leaving for a week's vacation.

He is to image the coin late this week and send it on to Russ.

Ken

messydesk · July 29, 2005 12:14PM

Challenging, but I got some decent pics tonight and will be leaving town on business tomorrow. My wife will send the coin on it's merry way to the next photographer Monday.

Russ · August 8, 2005 3:57AM

TTT.

Russ, NCNE

cosmicdebris · August 8, 2005 4:53AM

So Russ does the TTT mean you got it or are still waiting for it?

Russ · August 8, 2005 4:55AM

<< So Russ does the TTT mean you got it or are still waiting for it? >>

Got it, imaged it, and it's on its way to the next contestant.

Russ, NCNE

mgoodm3 · August 11, 2005 12:50AM

Got coin. will image tomorrow and hopefully send it out tomorrow.

CarlWohlforth · August 11, 2005 2:07AM

Cool! Looks like it is headed my way.

mgoodm3 · August 12, 2005 6:28AM

Headed your way.

fivecents · August 16, 2005 9:55PM

I have a strong feeling that this contest will be well worth the wait.

CarlWohlforth · August 20, 2005 5:18AM

I have the coin in hand now (Sat. the 20th). I'll get it off to eyoung429 Monday.

messydesk · August 23, 2005 11:34PM

Half way home, so it seems.

eyoung429 · August 29, 2005 1:44AM

Absolute pleasure to photo!!! Very nice coin and now on it's way to the next participant - Kyleknap

cosmicdebris · September 7, 2005 7:08PM

Anymore updates?

cosmicdebris · September 12, 2005 7:13AM

TTT

pharmer · September 12, 2005 7:24AM

It might be helpful in tracking for recipients to post when they get it and send it.

cosmicdebris · September 14, 2005 7:10PM

Who has it now?????????????

fivecents · September 14, 2005 9:35PM

<< Who has it now????????????? >>

Kyleknap should have the coin. I PMed him to check in to this thread. Hopefully he will at least PM me.

Either way, one of us will update the thread.

pharmer · September 14, 2005 11:21PM

If he does have it, that's a long time based on eyoung's post about sending it.

fivecents · September 15, 2005 11:15AM

Dorkgirl received the Morgan today....9/15/05.

Pharmer you are next line in to receive the coin.

DorkGirl · September 22, 2005 11:39AM

Heads up pharmer, she's on her way

poorguy · September 26, 2005 5:30AM

This is one LONG running contest.

pharmer · September 26, 2005 6:11AM

Easy does it, Brandon. Patience, virtue, all that. Received Saturday, going out tomorrow (Tuesday) to Lucy.

fivecents · September 26, 2005 6:41AM

<< This is one LONG running contest. >>

You're right Brandon, but only 7 more stops to go.

cosmicdebris · September 26, 2005 7:07AM

Maybe by Christmas we'll be able to vote?

LucyBop · October 2, 2005 9:06PM

I'm ready to ship the coin to the next contestant....

where do I get the addy?

fivecents · October 2, 2005 9:17PM

You need to PM board member Solid for the address.

cosmicdebris · October 11, 2005 11:22PM

solid · October 12, 2005 12:40AM

The coin should be on it's way to sumdunce. I haven't received photos from several
of the last folks who had the coin yet.

We're getting close - I had hoped to have this wrapped up by Halloween, but at the pace
we're moving, it looks like Thanksgiving will be more probable.

Ken

nwcs · October 12, 2005 1:08AM

Thanks for the update! Looks like I have about 3-4 weeks before I get it.

poorguy · October 12, 2005 2:02AM

Is there any major reason that this contest is taking sooo looong to complete? Is there a time limit for each contestant?

solid · October 12, 2005 2:22AM

Brandon, the original rules when the contest was started didn't stipulate a turnaround time-frame,
nor did it require Express Mail shipping as your contest did. I didn't want to change the rules when
I started coordinating things. Hopefully, the remaining participants will keep things rolling quickly
and we can wrap it up soon.

Ken

sumdunce · October 12, 2005 5:58AM

Got the coin today.

Will get it imaged and in the mail by this weekend.

Sumdunce

cosmicdebris · October 22, 2005 10:09AM

Where's it now?
