Hi Gang,

I'm not sure where this topic should go. If I put it in the wrong area I'm really sorry.

Many have asked me where I get the coins I give away in the Catman's contest. Well I will attempt to answer that for y'all.

I scan ebay for real deals on coin lots, sets or singles. As an example check these out...

I will sometimes break the sets into the single coins, add other coins together whatever I think someone might like. I'm not always right when I guess but usually the prize winner is happy.

Another place I get coins is from other forum members. They will donate prizes to the contest and these too are fun to own.

The object is to have a little fun, try to answer the questions and build a tie between the forum members. I'm always open to suggestions on what you would like to see in the contest so send me an email with your suggestions. April 1st is the next Catman Contest and from there we may be able to hold them twice a month with the approval of the froum administrator. How about it Susan..?

I think it would be great for you to hold your contest twice per month. Go for it!! We'll just change the name to Catman's Bi-Weekly Contest or Semi-Monthly Contest. Which do you prefer?
Rest in Peace

Hey wait a minute- what did I do now?!?

Anyways, let me give an unsolicited recommendation of Catman's contests. His prizes are really cool!

Catman FINALLY got thru to me so I won't be calling out the troops (Kyra)! Stand down Kyra every thing is okay! Unsaddle the mule and go back in for a little R&R with your coins.
