    << <i>Congratulations Stella and Supergal! I'm really surprised I tied for 3rd- it's more than I hoped for. How are you going to split up the prizes? >>



    Supergal and Brie don't sweat it... one of y'all will have to pick the listed prizes or a surprize of equal value? image

    He'll be recieving a nice 1901-P Barber Dime in PCGS 58

    Thank you all for voting. I never thought I would get anything because those posts were so good.
    My dad says be kind because I am an 11 year old YN.

    For those that did not finish in the top three, remember EVERYONE who entered gets a prize. I have a PM to Broadstruck for the next 3 highest vote getters so that they will receive their Morgan dollar. Everyone else will get a Wisconsin P/D/Silver quarter set. So if you are not one of the top three, either pm me or have your parent pm me with an address to send your coins to.

    Thanks

    ps - Way to go EVERYONE!!! You all did a phenominal job!!!imageimage

    I have a whole stack of 1947 Roosevelts in MS66, I will offer another one up for Brie so the super suprise package for her is not solely out of your pocket.

    Well I had to talk to thezookrew first as he was generous to offer 3 Morgan $1 for the next 3 prizes... but there was a huge tie for 5th place!

    So now there will be Morgan $1's for 4th and ALL 5th place winners.

    Way to go thezookrew thank you for your additional generosity! imageimage

    Awesome. I'm quite flattered that 12 people thought my essay was the best - there was some tight competition!

    Again, thanks to all that donated, you've been extremely generous.

    I have only received mailing info for a small number of YNs who contributed essays for this contest. If you have not PMed me for your prize for contributing (and the 4th and 5th place winners), please do so as soon as possible (with a parent's permission). For those that did PM their info to me and those that get me it quickly, I should have the prizes out no later than Friday morning!

    Thanks,

    Thank you Broadstruck for having the giveaway.
    My dad has been talking to me about the sculptors of coins lately.
    Glenna Goodacre, how cool is it to be paid in special coins in your honor!
    We have talked about artist for the Washington quarters and how some were changed bby the government.
    Learning about coins that were designed by the best sculptors & artists of the time.

    What happened since then?

    So, I think I will continue with my art and also with collecting coins with dad.
