Ordering and tracking thread for painful photo contest.

mgoodm3 · January 7, 2007 2:52AM

Using the latest in chaos theory, i came up with a order to minimze the travel distance between contestants. The coin will do one lap around America. I 'll try to get it out in the mail early this week. Let me know if there any problems as they come up and we'll juice the schedule a little.

Mail: no insurance, +/- priority as many legs are pretty short and probably won't take more than a couple days anyway.

When you're done, Email or PM me the photo (800 x 800 max) obv only. I think that the obv will cause ample pain.

This is going to be great... I know you are going to wait on the pictures, but can you post the trip as it's happeneing... Such as arrival and ship dates, maybe the amount of pictures submitted...

This is going to be cool, I just wish I could have joined in (I didn't because I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to catching proof coins...)

I can't wait,
Ray

mgoodm3 · January 7, 2007 2:59AM

Waiting on pics from obversity, shylock.

Bochiman · May 14, 2007 1:26PM

<< Robertpr has it now.

Shylock is slacking....make him give you the pics horizontally instead of vertically...he is tricky like that

poorguy · May 15, 2007 12:23AM

I think my grandchildren will be retired before this contest ends.

Swampboy · June 5, 2007 10:31AM

This is the only thread I am subsribed to.
As a result, I have been on the edge of my seat so long my hi*ey hurts.

Carry on.

mgoodm3 · June 7, 2007 4:57AM

Got kinda stalled recently. brandon's Grandchildren are probably in college now. Not quite retired.

vt coins has it. May get sent to Jeremy next.

SilverEagles92 · June 7, 2007 5:15AM

Is it too late for me to join?

mgoodm3 · June 14, 2007 2:59AM

COin been to vtcoins and Jeremy and should be going to dieclash now.

AIn't nobody sending me pictures lately.

DieClash · June 22, 2007 10:48AM

I got it Monday when I got back from my nephew's graduation in Vermont last weekend. Coincidentally I got it from vtcoins! Anyway I PMd mgoodm3 the pics and it goes out to strikeoutxxx next, in the mail tomorrow. We're getting closer to the end my friends!

StrikeOutXXX · June 29, 2007 11:34PM

Coin came from Dieclash Thursday. Took pictures yesterday (Or tried at least) and just sent it out to dcamp78.

Looks like it's on its final leg slowly headed back west now.

mgoodm3 · July 9, 2007 8:31AM

Going to Mozeppa now.

mgoodm3 · July 18, 2007 1:58AM

Should be on its way to messydesk shortly. Getting close to the end, and it's only taken 3.8 years.

Bochiman · August 3, 2007 4:30PM

Just thought I would give this a bump to see how things are going?

LostSisler · August 3, 2007 5:18PM

Hey! Can the ANA have a "shot" at this coin? :-)
Doug and I could shoot it separately! lol

mgoodm3 · August 25, 2007 1:25PM

The coin is on its way to speety. Think of the contest as slow and methodical.

DieClash · August 25, 2007 1:25PM

Did someone swallow this coin? Giving new meaning to "pain". Any update on the whereabouts Mark?

mgoodm3 · August 25, 2007 1:26PM

The answer is above the question.

DieClash · August 25, 2007 1:36PM

I don't know why but sometimes these threads get out of sequence. Based on the list in the OP it looks like we're very close to the end. Amazing that it started last January. At this pace it might be next January before we have closure.

Thanks for the update Mark!

MacCrimmon · August 25, 2007 1:42PM

speety should have it by now............I hope

I can't take a good pic of a mirror. My pics looked like some Heritage photos.

speety · August 28, 2007 12:56PM

Just got the chance to photograph it tonight, if i can get the addy for the next guy by tomorrow night (just pm'd mgoodm3) i'll send it on it's way thursday.

eyoung429 · August 28, 2007 2:06PM

Wooohoooo!!!!!

Lookin forward to it!!!!

DieClash · September 10, 2007 1:07PM

Any update yet? Inquiring minds want to know.

JustBustDimes · September 10, 2007 1:35PM

Can I play?

mgoodm3 · September 10, 2007 1:39PM

should be on it's way to eyoug shortly if not already. He is the last on the epic list of competitors. only took 9 months.

DieClash · September 14, 2007 10:15AM

<< should be on it's way to eyoug shortly if not already. He is the last on the epic list of competitors. only took 9 months.

Not bad. You as the moderator are the only one who knows if all images are of the same 1964 Jefferson Nickel. After all its travels, I'm sure this specimen would have an intersting story to tell if only it could talk!

robec · September 14, 2007 11:14AM

It feels like we started this in 1964.

speety · September 14, 2007 12:43PM

The coin has definately traveled and has been handled. The slab was covered in little scratches by time it got to me, gotta love the plastx. Now who was the one trying to sabotage the contest?

It'll be fun to see all the images together. Mine was far from great but fun nonetheless! Thanks to Mark Goodman for putting this together.
