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.

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

thanks for a positive thread, now show me a coin
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.
That's very cool of both of you.
