Congrates adobero1 you lucky coin collector!!! It is apparent my official "BRIBE" package to Susan must have gotten lost in the mail! Darn the Xmas backlog!!! When the fruitcake, can of spam, 2 cans of beanie weenies, bag of Oreo cookies and the jar of pickeled pigs feet get there you will have to send them back so I can use them on the next contest draw! I know those would have pushed me over the top! This has been a lot of fun and I am looking at what we can dream up next! Thanks lim118, your a gentleman and a scholar and a great Aussie to call a friend!

Actually, I will be happy for whoever wins. Seriously, I never win. I take that back. I did win that Israel coin a few days back. But, in 62, almost 63, years, that's all I have won.

May not be lucky in drawings and the lottery, but am lucky so many other ways.

So, good luck to all. And, I'm happy for whoever wins.

I have read your earlier posts- you are truly a winner with your new health, you have a new lease on life.
I'll take health to coins any day, but coins are a nice second place.

Congratulations Adobero1, winning was the easy part, as all you had to do was ask to be in, your odds were as good as everyone elses. Now comes the hard part with choosing which one of those FINE prizes to make your own!

A huge thanks to all who made this contest happen.

Oh my heavenly days! I'm absolutely speechless and breathless! I just returned from a family gathering and this was my greeting. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect this, please give me a day to review the prizes and make a choice. (suggestions are welcomed!) Thanks so much to the generous members who contributed to the giveaway. I almost feel not quite worthy to choose a prize; I haven't really been on the forum all that long. I have learned so much from all the members and hope maybe I might have contributed something worthwhile along the way. What a nice bunch of people. Thank you all so much. (and Thomas, you realize of course, you are my hero for life!) To think, after all these weeks and the long list of names...I certainly can't believe it! Gratefully, Dan in AZ

Rest in Peace

Oh my, I've just spent about 45 minutes looking at all the choices, and now I know the truth...winning, difficult as it was, was easy compared to this decision! The Kookaburas are stunningly beautiful, and with a mintage of only 300, yet...how can one choose silver over gold? The Perth sovereign, with its stunning beauty, even the UK sovereign with St. George slaying the dragon, and the U.S. half eagle with all the history of gold rush gold from San Francisco. I just can't decide tonight, please forgive me folks! Tune in tomorrow sometime. Good night!

Please don't feel pressured by us, this is sure to be a decision that has no wrong choice, but at the same time you may always ask yourself, "Boy, I wish I would of...". Congrats again, what a way to "top off the tree" so to speak. Have fun with your choice and may you bask in the glory!
Rest in Peace
