adobero1 Valued Member United States 363 Posts	Posted 12/27/2005 7:40 pm Thomas is certainly a star in my book! Lim, I just wanted to thank you and everyone again who donated coins to this giveaway. What an act of generosity. A great way to promote the coin hobby and this forum. I have decided that since I have always dreamed of traveling to Australia, and to me it is such a romantic, exotic faraway place, that the prize I choose must be from there. For a while, option 4 was in the running, a true piece of American history, and uncirculated too! For me, the hard part was deciding between option one and two. Both capture the essence of Australia, but it's so hard to choose between gold and silver! For this reason, I have decided to compromise and........ choose...... yes, OPTION ONE...THE Perth Mint CENTENARY SOVEREIGN. That way, both silver and gold are there, and a nice piece of history to boot. And besides, the beautiful St. George with his dragon design is there! Thank you so much for this honor, and I don't think I'll enter anymore contests for awhile! I apologize for taking so long to decide, but if you were in my shoes...what would you do? LOL This is not a coin that I will ever sell, I intend to keep this for the rest of my life. I think the coin will have a nice, dry home here in AZ, probably not unlike its present place of residence. Report this Post to the Staff

lim118 Pillar of the Community Australia 1529 Posts	Posted 12/27/2005 9:19 pm Well Done...a very good choice. As you have summised, it is made up of both metals, limited mintage, commemoration of the oldest running Mint in the World and is a real beauty to behold. Please email me your full address and it would be sent first opportunity by registered air mail. Report this Post to the Staff

crystalk64 Pillar Of The Community 3147 Posts	Posted 12/28/2005 8:02 pm Ah adobero1 don't be telling her that! She already has dibs on all the coins in circulation in the State of Indiana and NOW she is planning on winning the next contest! All of us Hoosiers will have to move just to give her storage space for her collection! We just have to make sure no one does a contest with Morgan dollars!!! Report this Post to the Staff

crystalk64 Pillar Of The Community 3147 Posts	Posted 12/29/2005 12:10 am NO ONE in the state can actually tell you what a HOOSIER is! Lots of tall tales through the years but I like to think it was brought on by the first settlers, who's wagon broke down passing through so they had to stay, and they questioned everyone they encountered, as they knew no one in this fledgling of a state so they had to ask, in the course of the conversation, "who's your daddy" in an effort to place you! Well its apparent some how they misspelled "Who's Your" with "Hoosier" or perhaps it was hillbilly spelling back then? None the less Indiana is the Hoosier State and here in 2005 we still don't have a clue as to why and most of us will still ask, hoosier daddy?

Mike Rest in Peace United States 2884 Posts	Posted 12/29/2005 04:03 am Being a Hoosier myself I have wondered about the name as well. Below is a link that explains(sort of) what the latest theories are about the term "Hoosiers"....Mike http://www.indiana.edu/~alumni/fun/hoosier.html Report this Post to the Staff
