PLEASE, if my numbers are wrong let me know so I can fix them, thanks

2. We will send to the participants in the order that they signed up (Please note above)

3. Each package should contain a coin or coins of approximately 10-15 dollar value.

4. In the event you can not make it to a coin shop or you do not have a coin to send, an amount of 10 dollars should be sent to cover the package.

5. Dates have been listed to send, as you send, please inform me so I can post it, also, when you recieve please inform so I can update the list.

6. A package will be required to be sent every two weeks, one package to each person till the last one has recieved.

7. Consolidated coin purchases have been aproved by everyone. Please try to maintian the timeline. Explination It was brought to my attention that more than one participant would like to get together with a few of the other participants to add their monies together and purchase one more expensive coin rather than many lower value coins. If everyone agrees with this, then we will set it in stone.

8. In the event that you will be unable to send during the required time, you can send the package in advance. When we all agree, the dates will be posted when the packages are due, this way you will know who and when.

9. Any questions or situations should be brought to my attention as soon as possible for resolution.

Blackhawk · May 12, 2002 2:00PM

Ray,

Sounds OK to me. If you can get enough participants, count me in.

Bill

My wish list: Indian Head Cents, Standing Liberty Quarters, Walking Liberty Halves, 1970-D Kennedy Half, 3 Cent Nickels, Canadian Large Cents, Civil War Tokens, Nicely Toned Silver or Nickel. I would also like to have a British Trade Dollar in my collection.

bstat1020 · May 12, 2002 9:25PM

Sounds like an excellent idea. Count me in!!

moursund · May 13, 2002 1:44AM

Well, uh, ok

But you wouldn't get 1 big package sometime within ~5 months, right? You would get 9 little packages all in the same week, when your name came up.

But sure, I'm in.

am

moursund · May 13, 2002 1:45AM

Say, Ray, if you have the time to organize this, maybe you can collect the mailing addresses of all of the participants, and send out pre-addressed avery labels

am

mrpaseo · May 13, 2002 6:11AM

am, that is correct, you would recieve nine packages within the two week time frame. (If 10 participents). And as for time to conduct this...um....I'm really going to have to find those coin shops now...lol. I hope to find them by this week end. Then I will be able to conferm weather I will be able to swing this or not. I was trying to see if there would be others interested, I guess there are a few. I will find the Coin shop (At least one) and report back to you all.

Ray

asnooker · May 13, 2002 2:06PM

sounds like a pyramid to me.....LOL I can't get in right now, I'm over run with nonsense!!

coinfinder · May 13, 2002 2:08PM

Sounds like a good idea to me!

Louie · May 13, 2002 11:01PM

Sounds like a great idea to me. Please include me in this one. Louie

mrpaseo · May 19, 2002 12:39PM

All right guys I have not forgotten about this thread, I have to do a little research.

You see, when I partake in a swap, I usually go on Ebay and find soemthing that the reciever likes then I usually end up sending late. I do not want this to happen with this one, I want to be on time every shippment. I will contact each one of you to make sure you still want to partake in this event. I will also include rules for the event. The rules will then be agreed upon before we partake. Then the sending will begin.

Thanks for your input.
Ray

Luvdawgs · May 19, 2002 2:27PM

This sounds like fun! Please count me in

I'm interested in Morgans, Peace Dollars, Walking Liberty half dollars, Washington quarters starting in 1932 on, and Canadian provincial cents or halfpennies.

Susan

bgman · May 19, 2002 2:35PM

I would love to join in the fun.

Randy

I am interested in just about anything in U.S. Coins. I am mainly interested in Morgans, Walking Liberty Halves, and Mercury Dimes. I will be satisfied with whatever you choose to send.

Thanks Again, Randy

moursund · May 22, 2002 5:47AM

If I like the rules, I'll be in...

am

danarchy · May 22, 2002 12:09PM

I want to be on time every shippment.

would this be the labor of love?

So Ray...

got another idea for ya...BTW i really liked the avery labels

Before the first package is sent out have everyone taking part, post what they are looking for, or want. YA know what i mean? Maybe update monthly?

Also just as an example...could 2 or 3 people get together for a single coin??? Say like you, I, and moursund want to send Susan

A killer Ike? Not that we'll find one at $45.00...but there is enough given time for the people who receive later to actually have coins made for them...

And yet another thought...what if someone gets to a point where they cannot supply a coin(s) for a leg of the trade, would a subsitution of cash be ok?

As I said just a few more thoughts,figured I would post these here as I have yet posted my interest to anyone but you!

dan

mrpaseo · May 26, 2002 8:11AM

Dan,
Great ideas. Everyone else that wants in. Please add your suggestions here or PM me with them. I will then consolidate them and send them to each participant. Only after we are 100% in agreeance will we start this swap.

My trip to the coin shop (While open) will happen next Saturday (Granted my school has nothing for me). I hope to finalize this by sinday with a list of rules and participants. If this goes well, I will conduct more in the future.

Thank you all for your patience,
Ray

mrpaseo · June 11, 2002 8:11PM

Bringing this to the top, since no one uses this thread anymore...lol.

I need two more wish lists then I will post the dates and we can get this thing moving.

Ray

danarchy · June 12, 2002 9:58AM

wish list. hate doing these things!bah
things i would really like are as follows:

Britania's
Americian silver eagles
morgans

need some low value coins for a new pcgs ms type set(s).
ms cents
ms Commems $.50
ms state quarters

I am not a big fan of copper/zinc...in other words cents. I do need a couple for the type set tho. At this point i have little interest in darkside coins. I do really enjoy silver( 64 jfk's and roosevelts don't count) I am not hard to make happy, as I joined this just to have some different coins to look at. BTW i am sure that I have missed many a coin, I do have many collections going.

Thanks everyone for taking part!

Thanks,
Ray

mrpaseo · October 10, 2002 12:25PM

And cut my losses?

TRADERBOBZ · October 11, 2002 2:08AM

i sure hope whoever is involved and they know who they are,steps up to the plate and has the balls to make it right with ray,i know from the past and im am certain in this case he always sends way more to the other person as he has to me time and time again sent stuff just out of the blue ,i know he doesnt expect as much as he sends in return,but damnitman atleast send the basic amount as agreed.this guy has a giving heart and i find it repulsive that someone would take advantage of him.i know its probably none of my business as you read this you may think it and believe it,but it just became my business to think we are a home group so to speak here,we share thoughts,ideas,and a hobby,and yes i may be a sick Fuc(kay) but when this stuff happens i dont understand,as it has happened to me over and over here......i thought we shared common beliefs here and yea,blame me i have made some friends over the internet on this site,call me sick for that,but youll never be able to call me a thief or a lier.....please take this with a grain of salt if you have no pride or dignaty....then i will know atleast your not in the right frame of mind to know the difference between right and wrong....only then will i let it go!

What about a consolidated giveaway?...Hey, you guys want to finish this or should I drop it?
