A belated but richly deserved shout-out to Forum member 'joeyuk'

About a month ago I pisted a new addition to my clipped cent set, and at the time I mentioned that there was a double-clipped 2002-P cent somewhere but I'd lost track of who owned it. As it turned out, joeyuk had offered this exact coin on the BST Forum a couple of weeks earlier with no takers. He PM'ed me and offered me the coin for my set...

... notice I didn't say "offered to sell" me the coin, he just offered it to me, free. He flatly refused any offers of compensation, so instead the bounty I've had on this coin since 2002 was donated to a local Hospice in Joe's name. I've had the coin for a few weeks now but only got around to scanning it last week, this will soon be cracked out of its PCGS holder and placed alongside its cousins in my date set.

A big thumbs-up and thank you to Joe for helping me make another big step toward completing my set.

    Neat error.

    Joe is a good guy.image and so is Sean. A couple months ago Sean sent me several Roosevelt dime errors for free.image Thanks again for those.

    Thought maybe I'd bump some positive feedback on a forum member to combat the current thread trend.

  • It's really cool that joeyuk ponied up that coin for you, and super cool that you donated what you would have paid to charity. I am happy to share cyberspace with folks like you.

  • most of the hospices do a wonderful job of helping the dying process in a respectable fashion; they are underappreciated saints. i usually donate to my local hospice.

    I'll give a lot of praise to both Joeyuk and Seanq. Offering the error without compensation was a great gesture. Donating money to charity in the name of Joeyuk was just as noble.

  • I apologise for not acknoweledging this thread sooner. I never saw it. image
    I don't want you to think I ignored it. Thanks for the kind words. You contribute to
    the forum freely and this coin had little value to me but I knew you would appreciate it.

    I just stumbled on this thread now while doing a search.

    Joe is a very giving person. He sent me this coin to complete my Lincoln cent collection. We should all be as giving. Thanks Joe...Mike

    How strange to see this thread again after all these years. I just reuploaded the image so it appears in the original post again.
