5000 Posts... Thanks, and a couple of Giveaways

in U.S. Coin Forum

Hello Everyone! I guess 5000 posts sort of crept up on me! I haven’t posted a whole lot over the past year and 2020 was a particularly crappy year. In addition to the pandemic, a separation/divorce, and two major surgeries, I didn’t buy ANY coins! Hopefully, I’ll be in a better position to turn that around this year. I’d like to take this opportunity to give back a little to the Numismatic Community and offer a couple of lots geared more towards a young numismatist. If you’re not a YN, no worries. I’m happy to help someone just starting out in this hobby too.

Lot A is a start on a Type Set. I’m including: a silver Bicentennial Uncirculated Set; 1964 25c; 1948 10c; 1936 5c; and a 1920’s 1c. I also have an 1892 1 pfennig (Germany) and a PCGS sample slab in this lot too.

Lot B includes a couple of medals. A NASA 25th Anniversary medal along with a $9.35 first day of issue stamp, and two Lee/Meade Gettysburg medals.

A simple “I’m in” and let me know which lot you want: “Lot A-Type”, Lot B-Medals”, or “Either”. I’ll keep this up for a few days and ship around the end of the week. Thanks for all of the info and comradery over the last 15 years!

Collecting: Dansco 7070; Middle Date Large Cents (VF-AU); Box of 20;

    Congrats on the big 5K. Sounds like 2020 was a real bummer of a year for you but looks like you are ready for a rebound. Hope 2021 treats you better! Not a YN here.

    Lot B but it would not be for me as I am just another senior old fool but will pass it on to a young YN along with my collections

    Sorry to hear about the crappy year. It was definitely hard on a lot of people. Here's hoping 2021 is looking up for you! I would not consider myself to be young anymore (36), but I have started a small collection for both my daughters, so would split any prize between them. I think lot B looks neat.

    Hey Everyone... Thanks for all the responses and kind words. Congrats go out to joeykoins for the Starter Type Set (Lot A) and to ShaunBC5 for the Commemorative Medals (Lot B)... I'll be PM'ing you momentarily.

    I guess the next Giveaway is at 10k?... 7500? I was thinking of doing a "5150" giveaway, but that would be nuts! ;-)
