Donations solicited

Is anyone interested in donating substantial amounts to a worthy cause?

In the mass of mail awaiting me on return from my trip to the Baltics was the catalog for the next Goldberg auction.

Between the costs of the cruise, the flight to London, the side tours in each country, the shopping aboard ship and in the ports, and the anniversary present for the Beautiful Bride, my coin budget is shot to you-know-where and back; so I am establishing the "Help Roy Get That ¥20 Piece Fund", which is a non tax-deductible charity.

I'll be glad to PM the wire transfer information for anyone who can help.

GCL might lend you a few yen.....

Wait a minute, ¥20 is less than a buck....did you spend all your tip money?

I'd like to help Roy but I am in a bit of the same boat. After the new car and the new driveway I may need donations meself

Ditto what MSD61 says.

Roy, My heart goes out to you. I will pray that you don't win the auction so that you will not find yourself in an unpleasant situation.

Geez, maybe selling off your complete set of 100,000 yen coins WILL help the situation

Thanks guys. It's nice to know I have friends out there.

Yeah, if I wanted to do that, I could almost cover the $2,250-2,500 estimated value of Lot 3059, but if the coin is a nice as the picture in their catalog (NGC MS65), I will be very much surprised if it doesn't go for considerably more.
