Since I received so many nice replies and was really 'feeling the forum love', I added two runner up winners,
so my wife had to choose 3 numbers.
Prizes still TBD for the runners up.

First place - grand prize - Treashunt
First runner up - Swampboy
Second runner up - Bochiman

I'll contact you for shipping info soon.

Thanks All!

Hello Forum Members!

I just hit a milestone on the BST - great transactions with 150 different forum members since I joined
in 2007.
Thebigeng was my latest, and I still remember my first was PonyExpress (Glenn H.), who's '92 Barber Half is still in my 7070 album.

The forum is certainly a great place to learn a lot, but I've learned every bit as much, and probably more, via PM's and emails with all the fantastic members on here over the years....it's been a wonderful journey. And of course special thanks to our hosts for providing this venue for us all to enjoy.

Now for the giveaway - two late date walkers (of course!) in AU, and I may throw a few other goodies in as well.

No purchase necessary ;) just reply here to enter - and feel free to post anything you like.
I'll have my wife randomly choose the winner by the end of the week.

    Thanks for the giveaway, so many great items are seen on the BST each week. For myself I have done many deals and added many great coins from members here through the BST, just a few:

    One of many Morgans from Coinkat

    From member Jacktheknife that I have not seen here for quite some time now.

    From Broadstruck a couple of years ago

    And many others

    I haven't kept count, but I have enjoyed the BST transactions as much as anyone.
    Even when I have overpaid :)

    I have sold some cool things and I have purchased some REALLY cool coins (i like some of the ex-RYK that I bought a few years back.... a nice "C" and a nice "D" ... )

    Wow 150? What a milestone. How many were Walkers?

    A fair share, back in the earlier days. Best one, but biggest regret, was a 23S that was a solid AU58. It was nicer than my PC 55, but a reg customer begged me for it and was willing to pay top $. Sold a lot of Barbers too, of all denominations. These used to be very profitable back in the pre-information/more raw coin age. Local dealers would sell at sheet, but forum members were paying well over Bid for better dates, as they knew the 'real market'. Lots of Buff nickels. Large cents, before I decided to hoard/collect them myself, then I became a net buyer LOL. Still regret selling a '93 Liberty Cap, but the fellow had a standing order for one, that I honored. Sold it way too cheap. Type has always been a good seller. Would say seated halves, but the whole collection went to one forum member, who actually offered me over my asking price (as I had multiple offers for it within hours of posting it).

    Congrats. On all your contributions! Thanks for the giveaway chance as well. 150 huh? Never realized until you mentioned it. Yes, as you said, the help and education here goes beyond just an ordinary chat room. Like I post to many new comers here, I welcome them as if they are in a classroom on their first day of school. I warn them, to be prepared to be taught a vast amount of knowledge while their here. I too, have learned a lot as well. Just by you stating the 150 members taught me something new.
    Didn't mean to babble on, sorry. Thanks again for your generous offer and teaching us how to show our generosity. ;)
