Holy Crap! I just past 1000 posts! Whoo hoo! Do y'all deserve a GIVE-AWAY?!

I bet you do! Uh...unfortunately....I don't think I have much to give away.... image

Well...I have one or two mercs hanging around. Tell ya what. This give-away will be for a circulated merc. (Sorry guys...the only other things I have aren't goin' anywhere. No JadeRareCoin! You may NOT have my Fugio! image ) This coin was from a hoard that my grandfather amassed when he owned a laundry matt in the 60's. The coin will be worn but certainly original! image

So here is what you have to do to enter:
Tell me about your favorite coin and where it came from. Maybe it is just a nice coin or maybe it is something that reminds you of the person who gave it to you. It doesn't have to be high end or anything. The coin stash that this merc is coming from is special to me because it was from my grandfather. (He actually pulled them out of circulation in 1965 when silver stopped being used!)

At any rate, this is just a SMALL token of appreciation to everyone on these boards. I was 14 when I stopped collecting coins and 26 when I started again. I have learned SO MUCH in the year and a half being on here that I can't believe I thought I knew what I was talking about before I logged on! (Shill bidding, at, nt, bodybags, hairlines, DMPL, pops, gradeflation, fugios, heritage, ACG, moderns, crackouts etc etc!) I have talked coins, been roasted and roasted others on the OF, and generally had a ball while spending way to much money on coins!

BTW, even if you don't post on the topic per se, I will still consider you for the prize. Just say something nice!

So post away and earn a token from the token! hahaha!

    This morgan is probably my favorite- not only because the colors are really beautiful, but because I bought it quite a long time ago when I knew squat about toned morgans...... image

    Last year, for my birthday, my two girls bought me a coin - a 1964 Kennedy proof. They are only 9 & 12 years old and knew I was looking for a nice example for a type set. You could see them memorizing the date in their minds as they would casually ask "what coin is it that you'll be putting in that hole?"

    They even got their mother (my ex!) to take them down to the coin store so they could buy it and surprise me.

    And I proudly display that coin and think of them whenever I look at it - even when I'm staring at the great, big, huge, long, diagonal scratch through the field behind Kennedy's head.



    I can't believe that store owner sold that to them!!



    Edit: Oh, and congrats on 1000 posts!
