lordmarcovan · July 23, 2004 9:42AM

I think my "Virtual Type Set" giveaway in the summer of '02 got over 100 posts.

laserart · July 23, 2004 10:36AM

Persistance has paid off for me more than once. I got a very good job years ago because I kept going back to see if the position had been filled.
Thanks Wybrit, this is a great and fun place. Even though I don't post much here I read most of everything. I guess I feel like I don't know enough and have anything to offer that people would want to read. I'll PM my address to you.

drthunder · July 23, 2004 11:16AM

Yes! I get the ugly coin! Thanks. PM sent.

wybrit · July 24, 2004 12:51PM

ttt - one winner has yet to PM me an address!!

laserart · August 1, 2004 10:02AM

Friday's mail revealed a 1957 Half Penny, nice coin Wybrit. I like surprises and as it turned out I didn't have that one. I have a "I think I'll get that one too." kind of collection when I paw through the basket at one of my coin shops I go to once in awhile. When you get enough of them it starts to look like a collection. Thanks wybrit for the giveaway..
