Post#4000- Literary giveaway-Winner in last post!!

laurentyvan · September 18, 2007 1:14AM

I moved past 3000 without ever realizing it... here comes post 4000, a good reason for a giveaway. (My, time flies)

This is a book I've read carefully several times and referenced numerous times, close to "like new" condition. Roughly 225 pages, HC/glossy paper, hundreds of beautiful coin images with their geographical and political history, well-written and relevant. Nice book- I believe LordM has a copy or has read it and liked it.

Simply post to this forum thread. Sorry, 100+ posts to enter (I'll make an exception if your plea is particularly poignant), regular or semi-regular posters to the World Coin Forum only please and overseas winners will have to contribute $10 to what I figure will be at least $20 shipping costs. Names will be drawn from a hat by my six year old grandson. Ends Sunday 9/23 at 9:30.

Thanks to the forum for years of education, enjoyment, and companionship.

Roy, we started within a few months of each other and we're within roughly 50 posts of each other.

Similar bio-rhythms?

Hussulo · September 18, 2007 4:31AM

Great prze and congratulations on your posts.
Count me in please.

RareBronzeCollector · September 18, 2007 5:02AM

!!! 4000 posts......... I'm still 150 or so away from 1000....

Congratulations.... and thanks for the giveaway....

Should I be fortunate enough to win, please give it to some deserving YOUNG NUMISMATIST (I'll chip in the addtional $10 postage if necessary) ......

Thanks again....

laurentyvan · September 18, 2007 6:06AM

RBC, you are the man! What a nice offer!

SYRACUSIAN · September 18, 2007 7:06AM

I'm not as generous as RBC,

I have to enter this one for myself and I will gladly contribute the entire postage fees. Congrats Laurent, I'll soon hold a giveaway for my 6000 posts, or the 5 years, whichever comes first, I'm slightly ahead of you and we have joined at around the same time.

PS: My PMs are way above 10K, the ratio is > 2:1, I have become very secretive the last 2 years.

laurentyvan · September 18, 2007 7:15AM

Dimitri, I don't know what we'd do without you!

dcamp78 · September 18, 2007 7:29AM

Congrats on 4k posts!

Please throw my name in the hat!

Thanks,
Big Dave

I think the spread is more like ~500. I kinda fell behind during the nearly three years I was moderating on another forum.

oldshep · September 18, 2007 9:55AM

Blackhawk · September 18, 2007 12:38PM

Can't see your pics, but if that's The Coin Atlas, as I deduce from your URLs, then yes, I do have a copy, and really like it a lot. There are some really neat coin pictures in the book. Whoever gets their hands on it will likely enjoy it a great deal, particularly if they're a serious Darksider.

ajaan · September 18, 2007 9:36PM

Nice giveaway but please don't include me in it.

mojoman · September 18, 2007 9:38PM

congradulations on the BIG 4K that is a lot of typing lol. Please add my name in your COOL giveaway,MoJo

Stork · September 19, 2007 12:42AM

A big milestone! I seemed to have joined up a little before you, but have a little ways to go in the posting department. My pms are another story, though I can't quite claim the same post: pm ratio that Dimitri can

. A very nice giveaway--thank you for the chance!

koincollect · September 19, 2007 1:13AM

A similar kind of book got me interested in coins. Thanks for bringing the memories back. Congrats on the milestone and thanks for the chance!

olmanjon · September 19, 2007 7:45AM

Cool giveaway! I am a newbie compared to you guys, but then again I just started. I can't think of a better place to learn either. There is such a wealth of knowledge out there as to be unbelievable. Thanks to everyone for helping out all of us beginners. Please enter me in your drawing. I would be more than happy to pay all of the shipping. Congratulations on 4,000 post.
