There seems to be a lot of anamosity on the forums lately. I hope that has not further intimidated any of you from posting here. We need more coin related threads, so I invite you start posting to this forum. Ask the question that you have long wanted to ask. Post images of your coins. Whatever you want that is related to our hobby.

The first 3 new members who make their inaugural post within this thread will receive a free coin from jaderarecoin.

I welcome you in advance.

Contest rules: Open only to new posters who make post count #1 in this thread. Not open to new accounts that are really just existing members trying to get a free coin (I am talking about you MadMarty!). David Hall is strictly prohibited from participating in this contest.

It has. It took all the courage I could muster just to write this.

Russ, NCNE

JrGMan2004 · May 19, 2004 7:07AM

I'm not a newbie... but... my question... on your Icon coin... does the crack extend all the way around the rim of the coin? And is the reverse similarly cracked?

ElectricEye · May 19, 2004 7:08AM

Will the free coins have pedigrees?

RR · May 19, 2004 7:08AM

Good idea.
Thanks.
RR

airplanenut · May 19, 2004 7:11AM

It's a coincidence that some 9991 posts precede this one... it's really my first

prooflike · May 19, 2004 7:14AM

This is my first post to this thread! Where's my free coin!

JadeRareCoin · May 19, 2004 7:14AM

on your Icon coin... does the crack extend all the way around the rim of the coin?

George, my icon is an 1820 Large Cent, Newcomb-13. It is the poster child of the Randall Hoard coins, with a few thousand Uncirculated examples known. It's also the coolest looking 1820 Cent, imho. The die crack is a 360 degree break on the obverse. The reverse is always perfect, and the obverse is always found with the 360 degree die break. A low end unc can be had for about $300 +/-. The coin in our icon grades MS-64 and is a $650 coin.

Russ, if you weren't so cheap you would offer the first 500 new members a free Slab Caddy.

kollector · May 19, 2004 7:19AM

Ok, here I go. Is this my first post? Don't know till I click on the "reply to thread" button.

You are confusing cheap with poor.

Russ, NCNE

Monstavet · May 19, 2004 7:20AM

That might be a really cool way to spend $300...neat!

Vet · May 19, 2004 7:35AM

I read alot on this forum post very little ,mostly because I don't own a digital camera and pics on my scanner suck. My question is I have year sets from 1861 throug 1987 and beyond if I were to offer them up for sale would I be better off to keep them as year sets or brake them apart? Thanks for any suggestions.Larry

JadeRareCoin · May 19, 2004 7:37AM

Welcome kollector! You win a Morgan Dollar. Send me your address via PM and I will mail it to you asap.

Russ · May 19, 2004 7:39AM

<< My question is I have year sets from 1861 throug 1987 >>

Inclusive? If so, that's potentially a HUGE chunk of change. You should be seeking out a trusted dealer before you do anything.

Russ, NCNE

satootoko · May 19, 2004 7:39AM

As a darksider I am an occasional "lurker" on this forum. I suspect that many potentially valuable forum members, with a great deal to add to it's informative function, steer clear because of threads like

this.

joesmom · May 19, 2004 7:39AM

Hi, I'm a newbie with a few posts but mostly lurk.
Great to be here!

MadMarty · May 19, 2004 7:42AM

<< (I am talking about you MadMarty!). >>

Why did I get picked out?????

JadeRareCoin · May 19, 2004 7:43AM

Robin, we will send you a free coin too: a Proof Franklin Half (send pm with address).

You prize does not count as #2, so we need 2 more new members.

tjkillian · May 19, 2004 7:51AM

<< ... have year sets from 1861 throug 1987 and beyond ....Larry >>

Wow, I'm impressed! I'm putting together a year set from just 1861, including gold. I would pay just to see the first set. Welcome to the boards, we need more folks like you.

Tom

Mercury · May 19, 2004 7:53AM

Hello all,

I must admit I am a lurker. I have enjoyed this board and feel I have learned alot already. I guess I have not posted much because I'm still fairly new to this and most of the frequent postes seem to have such great knowledge I don't think I could add much.

cosmicdebris · May 19, 2004 7:55AM

I am closing in on 20,000k do I get anything

?

Coins101 · May 19, 2004 7:55AM

Oh great. I lurked around here for a very long time. Wasn't sure if i would fit in but what the heck, I joined. Now, you have a give-a-way.

Myqqy · May 19, 2004 8:04AM

Crap, I'm about 290 posts too late!!!

PhillyJoe · May 19, 2004 8:07AM

I noticed that the latest member to join today is from Addison, IL. What are the odds? That's Marty's hometown, too!

Advice to new posters: Ask away. We may have heard the question before, but so what? We were all new here once and the purpose of the forum is to share what we know.

Joe

Tsimmerdown · May 19, 2004 8:11AM

Does it count that I mostly lurk on the coin forum and post in the paper currency forum?

drthunder · May 19, 2004 8:18AM

Hi, this isn't my very first post but I'm relatively new here. I've been reading the forums here on and off over the past week or two, and I think that I'm finally getting back into coin collecting! I'd love to win a coin to start out my collection again (stopped during college). Thanks for the contest.

Vet · May 19, 2004 8:30AM

Don,t be to impressed Tom. All my coins are raw from AG TO UNC no gold. Since I have been lurking aropund this forum unless its certified tere doesn't seem to be much interest. But I still like them for what they are.

jimmieboi · May 19, 2004 8:41AM

testing, testing

ddbird · May 19, 2004 8:41AM

Hey! This is my first post, so ill tell you alittle about me. Im 16, and have been collecting coins for 10 years, mostly morgans. For my 16th birthday, i got my first carson city. To my surprise, my grandfather had a few more stashed away, so he gave me them also...when it rains it pours. I had a question. My brother is going to college to become a Stock portfolio manager. He loves odd investments, and for his birthday i wanted to get him about a $75 coin, pref. graded. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Russ, NCNE >>

Russ, since I'm a forum member interesting in buying your slab caddy, I was wondering if you'd offer it to me for a flat price instead of an ebay price?

ddbird · May 19, 2004 9:02AM

Hey, i did post another forum after the first one on yours, so it should say three now! But that was my first!

skingspan · May 19, 2004 9:12AM

I am pretty new here, not sure how many posts I am up to though

JadeRareCoin · May 19, 2004 9:22AM

Okay all of you members who have very few posts, but more than one, we will send you something as well (probably proof Franklin half or something). I will pm you later, or feel free to drop me a pm.

looks like jimmieboi and ddbird are the next 2 first time posters, so they will each get a silver dollar (send address via pm please).

Welcome aboard!

ddbird · May 19, 2004 9:24AM

Thanks Jade...Actually, im so new i dont know what PM means. Sorry for the trouble! Ill get you my adress when i figure it out! Thanks again!
Ah never mind...i figured it out! Thanks I sent you the PM

JadeRareCoin · May 19, 2004 9:27AM

ddbird, click the lock icon on the upper right of any of my posts. That's the pm (private message) button. You will need to enable private messages in your preferences first.

ddbird · May 19, 2004 9:31AM

Thanks! Your a great help!

richbeat · May 19, 2004 9:37AM

Nice gesture, Jade! Welcome to all the new posters! Do not hesitate to ask questions, no matter how dumb you think they are. It's how we learn, and there are many fine people here ready to help!

Yep... But I'm going to try to do better. I've learned a lot here these past months, though.

NoGvmnt · May 19, 2004 10:30AM

"Russ, if you weren't so cheap you would offer the first 500 new members a free Slab Caddy. "

If he made that offer, this forum would never see another new member.

Jim

Dan769 · May 19, 2004 11:17AM

Allright, after lurking in the shadows for 2 years, I've been lured out of my comfort zone & into the firing range.

OK, where's my coin?

Make it a 89 CC, anything above Fine will do,
Thanks,
Dan

Russ · May 19, 2004 11:25AM

Cool! What do I get?

Russ, NCNE

GalaxyOfCoins · May 19, 2004 11:36AM

I have been a lurker as well. I have been here nearly 2 full years with only 8 posts. I had stopped posting when I saw so much fighting a while ago.

Do I win?

ElectricEye · May 19, 2004 11:43AM

jimmieboi, that's the spirit

<< I have been a lurker as well. I have been here nearly 2 full years with only 8 posts. >>

Probably a boot to the head.

loanshark · May 19, 2004 11:46AM

Welcome to all the folks coming out of the closet. They will make you feel welcome here and you will finally get to respond to posts and get to ask your own questions.

If you enjoy the hobby, you want to be here.

Loan Shark

ursabear · May 19, 2004 11:50AM

JadeRareCoin,

Thanks for doing this thread.

I think it is a great idea. I think the spirit of this forum really needed a lift like this.

Jimmy Bear

*tries to hide the 29*

I'v only got one...

cladking · May 19, 2004 12:15PM

Great thread.

Welcome newbies and lurkers alike.

dorkkarl · May 19, 2004 9:57PM

interesting way of picking up a mail-list - are the jade boyz going the way of spam???

(hint - you'll want a lot more than 3 email addresses to spam....

)
