SilverEagles92, You are the WINNER !!! 
So here it is, the obligatory 20,000 post give away!
As all of you know there is an enormous wealth of information and knowledge on this forum. I'm greatly appreciative of that and those that have contributed it. If it weren't for this forum I don't know where I'd be numismatically right now but I'd be willing to bet I'd be worse off than I am now.
I've had a lot of fun here, had some bad times here too and I wouldn't have it any other way. I've pissed off more than a few of you at times, a handful of you have pissed me off a couple of times as well and I wouldn't have it any other way. I've met some really cool people here, some really weird people here, some kinda bad people here, made a handful of great real life friendships here and I wouldn't have it any other way. The forum is what it is and once you accept it for the good and the bad I've found it much easier to navigate and absorb all that it has to offer.
Each and every one of you contribute to what this forum is. From those with 50 Gazillion posts to the guy with 3 posts who just signed up to the guy with 100 posts but has been a member for years. Because of that every last one of you is invited to sign up for this give away if you wish to.
In closing I'd just like to say that I am grateful for this forum and it's members. Without it I would not be the numismatist that I am today.
On to the goods...
All you have to do to enter yourself in this thread is post a picture of a United States half dime dated 1792-1873. It can be one you own, one I own, one somebody else owns…doesn’t matter. One entry per person. All of the names will be put into a hat and one winner will be drawn by my fiancé. The give away will end on Sunday, June 2nd at 3:32PM.
This give away consists of eight items, all going to one winner. It's what I call a "Bust Half Dime Starter Kit".
Included in this kit are;
*1 like new copy of the Logan-McCloskey reference book Federal Half Dimes 1792-1837 (out of print)
*1 copy of the most recent JRCS Capped Bust and Early Half Dime census
*1 copy of the Dec. 2006 CoinValues magazine dedicated to the Capped Bust Half Dime (featuring many articles and photos of a CU members half dimes)
*1 Triplet 3 lens loupe (5x or 10x or 15x)
*1 Caliper for measuring half dimes (or anything else you want to measure)
*1 Scale for weighing half dimes (or anything else you want to weigh)
*5 new AirTite capsules with white insert for half dime sized coins (Capped Bust and Seated only)
*5 new Kraft 2x2 envelopes to hold the AirTites and record your data on
So here it is, the obligatory 20,000 post give away!

I have this one hanging around, hope it satisfies. It sure looks like one of the coins in the book you are giving away. I need another half dime book -- for my car
But could you find it in your heart to actually include a half dime? LOL, I mean really......
It could be so circulated, but I think it would be very cool to include.....Again congrats for offering what you have....

Cladiator...congratualtions on this hallmark event. I just happen to have a 1853 with Arrows,
not a very good looking coin, but it was my first 1/2 dime many, many moons ago. I too have prospered
because of the sharing of information on boards like these.
Live long and collect....

Great Post and Congrats on your milestone.
It's because of you and a couple of others that I've had my own interest in the half-dimes. Thank You.
