In case the winner decides to trade his prize for a real work of art, here's the link for the gallery selling that $100 pile of cents sculpture pictured in the first post. There's a better picture there too if you're still obsessed with counting them all.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

Is getting to 30,000 posts, suposed to be some kind of great achievement? Like climbing Everest, or winning the Heisman? Well congratulations for this epic feat.
I guess I am just a couple posts behind the Saint I'm not sure I'll live long enough to accumulate 30k posts here but apparently if you do, precedent will require you to give away a killer coin. Guess I better slow down............
So, it's called $100. But what if there is a dime in the middle... then we have 9,991 coins. Or a dollar... then we have 9,901 coins.. or... or... what if there is a half cent in the middle... then it's all a lie, a lie I tell you! Oh, the agony of indecision...
By the way... I think that the word has passed across the internet... expect 4,000 new sign ups in the next half day... all posting a few times and then leaving, most likely one of them with your saint! You ever notice how (for us northern states) a Canadian always seems to win the big state lottery jackpot... same principle applies here.
