YN Giveaway...1,000 Posts...WINNER ANNOUNCED!!!

Almost one yeat to the day and I've reached the 1,000 Post threshold! Wow, I spend too much time on this boardimage!

First, I'd like to say that I have learned more about coins in this past year by reading and participating on this board than I probably have at any other point of my life. The CU Forum has been great! Second, I've meet many great people on this board that have helped me understand and appreciate coins more than I could have ever imagined. I actually hope to meet some of you in person at some point. Finally, as many of you probably have come to guess, my over-riding passion is for copper when it comes to coins. Especially Indian Head Cents and Lincoln Wheatbacks. This passion was instilled a long time ago by someone that took the time to teach me the history of and show me these coins. Taking well circulated (some almost slick) from a Maxwell House coffee can and filling the holes of a Whitman album was priceless. If it wasn't for a grown-up showing me this world of coins at a young age I'm sure that my penchant for coins would not have developed. Time has moved forward and now completing the Whitman album has become the desire to complete a respectable registry set of Lincoln Wheatbacks.

I have decided to keep with forum tradition and do a giveaway for my 1,000 post. I'd like to keep this to young numismatists or someone acting on there behalf. Be sure to ask your folks permission before posting!!

The giveaway is modest, but hopefully some young coin collector will like the material. Just post to the thread and state you favorite coin series that you collect. I will randomly select a winner this Thursday, October 4th.



Giveaway items:

ICG Graded MS67 1944 Lincoln Cent (Probably PCGS 66):

    My son, entering on his behalf, likes his toned Roosevelts.
    I think they are cool but I still kind of prefer nicely toned IHC proofs image

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
