All YN July 4th Giveaway gifts have been assigned

ksteelheader · July 1, 2006 10:31PM

They will all be getting shipped in a timely fashion.

I've been up since 3 AM working on this. Hopefully there will be a lot of happy YN's.

I think this format of having the donors sending the prizes will result in me doing this again next year. It saves me a lot of aggravation and money.

So, the next YN project will be my Christmas giveaway. This is the one where we try to determine a single recipient based on need and circumstnces.

If anyone has any ideas for a recipient of the Christmas giveaway, send me some details.

Thanks to everyone for making this happen!!

keez · July 6, 2006 6:29AM

Hi T Buck, this is Makenna in Oregon, I'm 8 years old and thank you for these wonderful coins that came today. I was very surprised and I love them very much. And wow, you gave me a lot. After I look at them all real carefully, I'll let you know which is my favorite of the world coins. And I also learned something -- that there is much more to coin collecting. This is also my first certified coin I've ever gotten. Thank you very much. They are very cool and interesting. I'll take good care of them. Makenna (granddaughter of Keez)

StrikeOutXXX · July 6, 2006 6:56AM

Ken - thank you very much for putting the YN giveaway together, my son's coin came today and he is very excited.

Gary - Tyler was very excited to receive both his first slabbed as well as his first toned coin for his collection (MS-65 '57 Franklin). I am sure he will treasure it for a long time. As I don't recognize the name, if you could PM me, I'd like to put a handle to the name.

Here's us a few minutes ago - the girls couldn't stop sniffing and decided they needed to be in the picture too.

Thanks!!!

mach19 · July 6, 2006 9:30AM

Leiana · July 12, 2006 3:47AM

Someone sent me a Silver Eagle from 1988. I don't know who so I can't properly thank them. Maybe they'll read this. Thank you very very much! It has a lovely new home in my Dansco album. I just wanted to say thank you very much and that it was a nice surprise!

Thanks,
Amanda

Numismatics · July 12, 2006 8:06AM

My little brother went crazy happy today because he received some cool coins for his collection.
MANY THANKS TO KENNETH AND JEFF. THANKS TO KEN ALSO.

Bochiman · July 12, 2006 8:41AM

Mine finally went out (I ran into some "technical" difficulties along the way......out of ink, not the right whole punch, better paper, etc) and was received yesterday.

I was told there is one happy little guy on the east coast

Things like this rule! I know my son really enjoys getting coins in the mail and to be on the other end (the sender) is a sweet feeling as well! When I read my PM and the YN's reaction, I felt really happy!

Great job on this Steelhead

(I wish I had taken a picture, but I have the "almost right" attempts still at home and may "remake" one to take a picture of.......I think I did a damn good job on something unique and it felt good doing it

)

OffMetal · July 12, 2006 8:45AM

<< <i>Received a PM from my donee--a very happy YN! >>

The pictures were scary too

Thanks again! My brother is sure as heck hooked!!

Fairlaneman · July 13, 2006 11:41AM

I received a Excellent Thank You note from the YN that received coins from me. Come to find out her brother received some coins from me also a couple of years ago. Way Cool I think.

Anyway the below picture makes these giveaways a real joy. Look at that wide YN smile !!

StrikeOutXXX · July 15, 2006 11:15AM

Eyoung429 - Just wanted to thank you, Tyler's package came today. I'm guessing he was one of the ones Ken combined prizes for as TC71's came last week so he wasn't expecting another.

He had never signed for a package before addressed to himself so he was sort of excited about that, and even more so when he realized what it was.

I have to tell you though - you've created a "VAM" monster

. He loves learning new stuff, so now he has my redbook guide to Morgan Dollars and is trying to teach himself about VAMs. I explained it wasn't really a VAM book, so now he wants a "Real" VAM book.

Thanks Much!

ElKevvo · July 18, 2006 1:32PM

Hi,

I just wanted to say 'Thanks' to everyone who helped in this and especially to the member who sent my daughter Valerie the 3 Sacagaweas. She loves them!

Thanks to all!

K

TheKidCollector1991 · July 26, 2006 1:05AM

Another VAM monster created here!
RobJoyce21dVAMguy sent me a 1921-d Morgan VAM!!!
My first VAM and its ooo awesome! Its also my first toned coin

His package came to my dads office today and when my dad came back he had a huge bulk of packages in his had.

One from Lord M, which were some COINS! Thanks alot for helping with the Austrian Type Set!
and.....

A SWEET 1921-d VAM-1I. THIS WILL DEFINITELY make me want MORE!

And even more awesome was that he had all the info on a printout, he showed me where the VAMS were located and this turned out really well!

Thanks Rob!
and A big HUGE THANKS To Ken!

Weather11am · July 26, 2006 1:27AM

I got a Type Coin Book last week and I assume it was from this?!?! I could not read the writing on the inside of the book. Thanks though! I was almost going to buy that exact same book on Amazon!

Prethen · February 2, 2011 11:26PM

I just wanted to say that my daughter and I still occassionally look through the assorted coins that she received from this collaborated giveaway. I'm amazed at how much cool stuff was given away by so many generous folks here.

Is my daughter an avid coin collector now. No. Her interest is only mild. However, she did go to a recent coin show and requested to pick some items out of a foreign junk bin. You now what...I was elated! At least there's a spark of interest there.

I think this kind of giveaway is awesome. Do they still happen?
