This is something to truly be proud of. Notice the time. I've been at it for almost 24 hours now. I think it's time for a nap.
My fellow Numismatists....after a very long day I am proud to say that as of this moment, not counting items still left to be sold or auctioned, not including what is still left to be collected, our numbers are as follow:
GROSS, INCLUDING DONATIONS, OUTRIGHT SALES AND AUCTION, COMES TO........................................ $2770.00 LESS PAYPAL FEES................................................................................................................................... $ 82.66 ************************************************************************************************* TOTAL NET AS OF THIS MOMENT...............................................................................................................$2687.34
It just goes to show that with perseverance and unbridled support of but a small percentage of the Numismatic Community, all things are possible. To some, this may be a drop in the proverbial bucket but to the people we normally target AND particularly, to the many people just in my surrounding area that have literally lost EVERYTHING, including their Homes, this figure, to them, is a Godsend. I cannot put into words just how elated, how proud I am...proud of all of YOU.
There is still much to be done as I must decide in a hurry, whether to do a bulk submission with the pristine coins Mr. John Plowman has so generously donated or to just sell them outright or to auction them here. He, by no means, had to do what he has done. Mr. Rick Montgomery has offered me a submission price but therein is the gamble. Not only is it a gamble but it is also a race against the clock. I do not see how they could grade all the coins in question here, get them back to me and auction them in time for Christmas.
This endeavor would involve risking this Charity money and more if I do go that route and the very last thing we need is a Charity that winds up in Red Figures. Therefore I submit to you that I will consider submitting maybe some of those coins....the coins that would be worth the money invested.
I have consulted a few trustworthy, learned and very well respected people here and very well just may sell or auction these pristine coins here and let you reap the benefits. It's been a long day and it's time for some rest before we go at it one more time. I just want to make the most of this opportunity because I truly doubt it will ever manifest itself again....but then, you never know.
Regardless, I want to thank everyone involved. We still have a couple of weeks to really get after it therefore monetary donations as well as more items to auction would be greatly appreciated as this is truly a great cause and the ground floor of what I hope to see become a bona-fide Charity in the Names of Numismatists everywhere, before my time on this planet is up.
45 people have helped to make a special day for so many hurting families. Just imagine what we could do in years to come with the cooperation of more within the Numismatic Community.
They said, it couldn't be done. I like challenges. Looks like "THEY" were wrong. Good night all. It's been a long Day and I'll be back at it tomorrow. All the best, B00M

And send sir Hall a message to kind of kick in a few worthless pennies- I have a good friend who works for one of the big tele shows that airs in the mornin all across the world.
Boom you may get a surprise whe you do your thing- I have explained all I can and all of what you/ the forumites have done- it is worthy enough to have a story done on it.
Gee would it not be cool to see the 'head' of PCGS' get his name on the tele?!?!?!? as well as the list of caregivers here????
well I will be in touch with you boom- and will pass my info to my friend - think GMA
OK, that's what we'll do then....and uh, Oh by the way....CHECK THIS OUT
OUR LATEST NUMBERS
My fellow Numismatists... I am VERY proud to say that as of this moment, not counting items still left to be sold or auctioned, not including what is still left to be collected, our numbers are as follow:
GROSS, INCLUDING DONATIONS, OUTRIGHT SALES AND AUCTION, COMES TO........................................ $3070.00 LESS PAYPAL FEES................................................................................................................................... $ 82.66 ************************************************************************************************* TOTAL NET AS OF THIS MOMENT...............................................................................................................$2987.34
I cannot put into words just how elated I am ... how VERY PROUD I am, of all of YOU.
To some this may be but a drop in the bucket but for those in dire need it means more than you could ever imagine. I am all excited and have earmarked where and to whom this and hopefully more after I post what we still have left this evening.
I say we finish what we started and start a new thread with some new items that I'll do my best to describe and send to LeeG to Host and post including the Day of Sailing with Outhaul. Let me get after it. New auction should start shortly.
To view the Master list of Donors AND the latest totals simply click on the sig line. It's easier than starting a new thread solely for this purpose.
I am working on organizing items to list in a seperate thread which will be the contiuation of the first auction in conjunction with new items for the second and final auction, complete with giveaways.
