2500th post giveaway - $1 in change - WINNER: CONGRATS Louis!

seanq

I already know what you're thinking... "Hold on, Sparky. We've got guys giving away gem Saints and you're giving away a buck in change? Are you all there?" Honestly, no, I'm not, nor will be the planchets on the $1 face value in clips I'm giving away for my 2500th post. I haven't picked out the actual coins yet, but here's roughly how I think the $1 face will break down:

15 cents (including plenty of Wheats, an Indian Cent, a steel cent, and a modern zinc cent);
4 nickels (including a silver War nickel and maybe a Buffalo);
4 dimes (including at least one silver Roosie);
and a quarter (probably clad).

Once I pick out the coins I'll post a picture to the thread. To enter, just post a reply here with one reason you're also "not all there" (preferably coin-related, but that's not a requirement ). I'll randomly choose a winner Monday, October 2 at noon Eastern.

Winner chosen, congratulations Louis! Thanks also to all who replied.

Hello and thanks for the Chance ! I told this story before and it is true:
Two of my co-workers each wanted me to get a key made for them. They each gave me a dollar. The keys cost 94 cents each plus sales tax. 2 X .94=$1.88+ .11 tax=$1.99...SOOO i got the one cent change...and since my co-workers are cheap guys that argue about the dumbest stuff, to avoid an arguement--i sawed the cent in half and gave them each a half-cent change. But then they argued over whos half of a cent was bigger. "Sigh". A true story. Bob

Hey Sean, generous giveaway

I would have to say that one reason I'm "not all there" is because I buy "unsearched" lots and have fun loosing money!

Thanks for the chance.

i've never been quite right since i solved the riddle of the 3 guys who check into the hotel and each pay $10 dollars.......
i was sure i had found the missing dollar... then it was lost again.

Cool Giveaway!
Congrats on 2K500

You could do that with a 5 dollar bill and ask for 5 Silver Morgans in the ol' days.

Congrats on 2500.

Hmmh, "The reason I'm not all there." Because the doctors told me so a legitimate answer?

Congrats on the 2500 and thank you for the wonderful opportunity. My story goes as follows, when I was younger I had in my hand (I got it as change from a store) a 1955DD. I looked at it and said to myself, somebody messed up and threw it away. Well knowing now what I had, all I can think is (IDIOT!).

Thanks for the giveaway Sean and another congrats on 2500.

Congrats on 2500 and enter me. My parents think i'm "not all there" when I talk about looking through their change to see if I can find any silver, wheats, etc... I guess they just don't understand.

Congrats on the 2500th post!

Some folks say I'm nuttier than a squirrel turd because some of the conspiracy theories sound like there might be a shred of truth in them...

My co-workers told me I wasn't all there when I showed them a lincoln penny that I paid 225,000 x face for.

Great givaway seanq.
I'd have to say the reasion im "not all there" is because i dont know as much as i should about buying coins.
Then again I'm a YN so I have a while to go.

seanq,

Congrats on 2500 posts.

I guess I'm not all there, because I rifle thru
the "give a penny/take a penny" dishes at my local
stores looking for wheaties and silver and then
feel guilty when I find some, so I replace them
with newer coins.

TCoins

My wife thinks I'm not all there because I have a large coin collection,.......but no cents. Get it! Ahh... never mind. Please enter me, thanks.

mojoman

Great Giveaway, Thanks for the chance, MoJo

gemstatecoins

Please include me in this great giveaway...

Reason for me not being all there.... spending HOURS everyday researching these boards, E-Bay, Mint website, etc... my wife thinks I'm nuts.

thezookrew

First and foremost, thanks for the opportunity.

Second, I am not all there as every time I see what looks like a nice Morgan on EBay I start thinking it could be a 65, maybe a 66 even though in the back of my mind I know the darn thing was probably wiped, cleaned, altered, or photoshopped.

Congrats on 2500. My parents give me the "how on earth is this my child" look whenever they see me rooting through their change.

Count me in! THANKS!

Louis

I'm not all there because I sold most of my gold when it hit $450.

claychaser

LastExitInNY

thanks for the chance I'm not all there because sometimes I feel like a teepee and sometimes I feel like a wigwam. I went to the DR and he told me that my problem is that I am too tense.

eyoung429

Congrats!!!

Enter me please as I don't collect "normal" coins....my wife and kids think I am nuts sometimes when I show them a coin with missing featres, severe die cracks....

Thanks.

seanq

I'm going to extend this 48 hours because (a) I'd like to see a few more replies, and (b) I'm 'not all here' today, I'm going to be out on business when the original deadline comes. Winner will be chosen noon on Wednseday.
