T-BOP gets to pick from these two remaining prizes, OR I have some more 2014-D Native American dollars, SP-69 by NGC, and some more 2016 Coin & Currency Sets, if either T-BOP or flag4 would like one of those items instead of the two prizes listed below.  One Lincoln Wheat cent from each of the coin's first 25 years (1909-1933) - As you might expect, most of the pennies will be from the Philadelphia Mint, but there will be a few from the Denver and San Francisco Mints. The condition (grade) of the cents ranges from G-4 to F-12. Fifteen (15) 2017-D Native American dollars - Business strike, never circulated but purchased as a bag of 100 coins from the U.S. Mint, so the coins have the usual bag marks and such, i.e., they're likely to all be at least MS-63, and mostly MS-65, but unlikely to be MS-69 or MS-70.

flag4 - I tried to send you an email about your prize, but I got this message:  A lot of members do not realize they have their settings set to 'no email' - easy to fix though, if you want. Go to Tools (button up above, next to Home) > Manage Your Profile > Login again (security feature) > Contact Information (on the left) > Change this drop-down to "Yes":

I got my Coin and Currency set today in the mail - super! I don't have anything quite like it in my collection, so it is a nice addition to the proof and mint sets. Nice to add a bill in there to keep everything honest! Thanks for the contest! Edited by KenKat

Thank you all very much--you made my day!  And yes Devin, you got me good! Although I have to say I am somewhat accustomed to being 'got good' since my 16-year-old daughter has a lightning fast and quite wicked wit. She keeps me humble.  |

Received the 1946-s PCGS MS65RD LWC! I feel like a legitimate collector now that I have a slabbed coin. I may have to check but I'm pretty sure it is the only full red LWC I have now. I just happened to have a blue PCGS slab box to put in! Although, it looks pretty lonely in there...  dd27, Thank you so much for the contest and the wonderful prizes!

You are most welcome flag4! And thank you for your kind words - much appreciated. This was even more fun than I thought it would be.  ~~~ A few biography notes on my paternal grandfather: George Washington Worthen, Jr. was the oldest of 9 children. When he was born Utah was a Territory--it didn't become a State until 1896. He graduated from Brigham Young University in 1912 with a B.A. Degree in Education and Philosophy. He graduated from Boalt Hall (University of California, Berkeley, School of Law) in 1916, with a J.D. degree. He was an attorney and district judge in Provo Utah, and an Associate Justice of the Utah Supreme Court. He and his wife had four children, with 13 grandchildren, and 24 great-grandchildren. ~~~ Thanks y'all for a great contest! - Mark |
