Some of you have not emailed me with your name and address!
If you want the Canadian nickels set aside for you, please email me name and address.
Thanks, John

Here is a picture of the Canadian Nickels to be claimed  Would the Canadian whose address is something like (don't want to put exact/entire address for the public to see): Ulster, Ontario, Canada please PM me your real name? You sent me your address which did not contain your real name......I've attempted mailing you with no response. Thank you!

Just now, I hope, rectified that by emailing you my name and address. Sorry about that, I just checked and I had "no" to accept emails. changed it to "yes". ... At 84, life sometimes gets a bit confusing or the reality I am functioning in has a hiccup. ...

@jomic: It appears that I emailed my name and address to myself. I have tried again to send it to you. Hopefully I finally found the correct way. ....

Hi Sharks.......I'm only 2 years behind you! I know pretty much things are at our ages. Not to worry.
Got your address, coins in the mail this coming Monday.
As I have proven in my other contest, which you are a participant in, I am incapable of performing ordinary tasks these days, even though my intentions are good.....I must bow out of ever hosting any more contests.
As an excuse for my mental incapabilities I offer the following:
After 27 years as an Air Traffic Controller in Chicago, ABQ and DC, I had a nervous breakdown, my brain went south and took my body with it....I was not a part of society for 3 yrs and evver since, well, never mind: On meds, still, for depression and anxiety which make me loopy.
Three & a half years ago I had a quadruple by pass, on meds that fog the brain;
I have RLS, Restless Leg Syndrome, severe, on meds that make my brain quite foggy and makes me real dizzy and makes me fall down, hence a walker;
My lungs are not providing enough oxygen hence the oxygen generator.
nickelsearcher, feel free to move this to "a more appropriate place " or delete it completely.

Wow! And I thought that I was bad at 80, so I have lots of things to look forward to. For the past 2 years, I have been getting rid of thousands of coins through a friend on Facebook. At one time I had just over 1100 1859 large cents alone, as I was a variety collector. Regardless the ills and pains getting up, it still feels good to get up, look at my collections and then get out in the yard for some gardening and stretching.

@jomic: Quote: I must bow out of ever hosting any more contests. I humbly disagree. Your contests are very interesting, just look at the number of posts. If you no longer host contests, that would be a loss to CCF. ....

thank all of you for your kind comments- I greatly appreciate them.
igwt79. thanks for posting pictures of the coins along with details of their condition.
Since it appears there is no problem talking about my health, someday I'll tell you all about malaria in Panama, wounded in Vietnam, para-typhoid fever in Iran, botched hernia surgery by the VA (11 years of agonizing pain), run over by a tractor, hit with the bucket of a backhoe, knocked out, 10 broken ribs, collapsed lung, internal soft tissue damage, Dr said if my wife had been 10 min later in getting me to ER, I wouldn't have made it. As a local Dodge Dealer's advertisement says: No Bull
