I'm not sure if this is an allowed topic or not, and one which I'm not posting lightly about because part of me feels cheap asking, and another part of me feels like this is a community you can ask such a question.
As you may know, my 6 year old daughter is into coin collecting and went to her first show last week. She goes to a Lutheran private school and if you have kids in a private school you know about the finances the school counts on. We live in a fair sized town, but due to the economic stress happening, and the problem with other private schools having better connections to the bigger stores, our school doesn't take in as many donated items. The school does well with the auction with what we get, but I'd like to try and get a few more items this year.
Last year our local coin dealer donated a proof presidential dollar set that went for $40! This year he has donated another set and some misc AU buffalo nickels. I'm not asking/looking for anything expensive or rare, just looking for more items to help the school out , so if you would like to help out with something small that would be great. If you require a tax write off form for the donation, I can provide that also. Also, you can have your name or business advertised in the dinner auction book. This may not mean much in the way of advertising for your business since we live in MO, but it's still something you can get.
Here is a link to her schools website Trinity Lutheran School MO. I know people try to scam on forums so I'm not expecting much to come from this, but I can provide proof that the items are a donation and go towards the schools dinner auction.
The auction is not till March, but we are looking for and accepting donations now. It takes the committee awhile to get everything squared away which is why donation collection starts early.
If you would like to donate, please PM me.
Here is a pic of my little collector.
Thank you for reading.

I just want to say thank you very much to everyone who has PM's me and sent items. We (school) really appreciate it. The only problem, is my daughter is seeing the items and is telling me which ones to bid on, which is just about everything!
Again, thanks everyone, and it's still not to late to donate if you would like to.

Yeah well you did say handle it by PM didn't you? At the time I was getting so many PM's with names & addresses I was getting dazed & confused and trying to keep PM traffic to a minimum. The offer still stands though the linked thread is empty now. Send me your snail mail.

Yep, live in Cape. Where to live? Maybe we can hook up for lunch or something.
