Giveaway for YN's and budding YN's: 14 prizes for 14 youngsters.********WINNERS********

I have 11 prizes to give to 11 youngsters (19 year-old and below). Click here to view them.
Sorry, some of them have some blue haze on them (must have turned in the holder)image. The black crud on the rims of some are actually due to my poor cropping skillimage, so they're not real.

If you have a budding YN at home, by all mean, enter. But only one entry per household. When you post to this thread, you can indicate your prize preference. Whenever I reach post #16666, I will do a random drawing, and the first 11 names drawn will be the winners.

And the prizes will be given according to your preferences. If there are 2 or more winners who prefer the same prize, leaving other prizes unwanted, then you guys can talk among yourselves to determine who gets what. Bottom line is 11 prizes will go to 11 winners.

Have fun guys and good luck.image

I added 3 more prizes, so it's 14 winners.image

    Great giveaway and cool set-up.

    I wish to enter my son, Jack (age 7). He likes toned coins, so he will want the SAE. His second choice would be the one with the airplane on the reverse (Wright Bros. commem). Thanks for the chance on behalf of Jack.

    I'd like to enter my son's name.
    His first choice would be the SAE (goes with what we are doing to his set). 2nd choice would be the West Point as all of our family has been military.

    Cool, is 48 too old to be considered a YN? image


    Seriously though, this looks like a cool thing to do! I'm not entering, just here to cause trouble!

    I'd like to enter but I'm going to enter my little sister instead. (If that's OK) I've won so much great stuff I thought maybe she could too. image

    I showed her all the pictures and she liked the Smithsonian commemorative or the silver proof set. She couldn' t make up her mind. (sisters image )

    thanks ER for the great giveaway!!!image

    I am not a YN, but we just had 3 new YN's join our new coin club. One of these would make a nice YN prize.

    The 1984 Olympic Commemorative for my granddaughter Anyssa if that is okay. She loves sports and would like to try out for the Olympics when she is old enough. She loves collecting coins and is fascinated by them. She had to do a school project last year and she did it on U.S. coins. She brought my newly acquired and the start of my collection, US Mint set, to her class. Right after that she started her own collection and has been doing so for a year now. Since my kids aren't interested in coins, my collection will go to her. Thanks for the opportunity on her behalf. She will be thrilled if her name is drawn.

    Please enter my son, Andrew (8). He's a budding YN. Although I can't see the coins in the generous giveaway thanks to the filters at work, I would guess from other responses, he'd like the West Point commem or the SAE. Thanks for thinking of the YNs.
