Praying things are OK.

All people who offered a guess for this contest:

Join the ones of us who have given a 5.00 gift for this tyke to have at least his first proof silver Eagle!

Scroll back through to find the detail in a long post by me.

How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

I am betting the boy is here. Just that the excitement has Mayflower2020 a bit preoccupied to let us know. That's what I think.
Hey, we're all pacing the floor out here aren't we?

We are. I am rarely on CCF during the day, but I am and have been thinking about this most days, lately.

He is here. His name is Ryan and he came home on Mothers Day. So there is a winner, I just haven't had an extra 20 minutes to figure out who it is. I just wanted to let you know he is healthy and happy (and so is his mum) and everyone is home safe. The house however, is chaos (as you can very well expect) I go back to work tomorrow but am off on Friday so hopefully will be able to figure out and announce the winner then.

Thank you all so much for your messages, support, advice, and contributions to his first coins. I am overwhelmed with gratitude and love this week.

Congratulations to you both and WELCOME Ryan!

OK guys,

I was going to wait until after te contest was over, but I got to thinking that after the event, people will not be checking here anymore.

So here is my idea.

Why don't we who can, and who have been enjoying this contest make sure Mayflower Jr. get's a great start in the numismatic hobby? I know we ALL would like to help, but realistically all of us know not everyone is able to contribute...its the thought that counts.

I suggest we each paypal Mayflower Sr. and his wife 5.00 to which they specifically will spend on:
1. A 2018 proof ASE
2. A 2018 Silver proof set.

I count 44 entrants. It would only take about 8 of us to make sure the new little one gets a proof 2018 for his birthday.

BTW - I did see the birth year set and thought it nice, but the ASE will always hold value, I wish they had a silver birth year set.


If we get 75% who are able to give, that would be 165.00 which would cover options 1 and 2 above.

The CCF family has gotten together like this before...so let's welcome our new little member in a way that will give his parents a story to tell him about when he is old enough.


For those who don't know how:
Click on Mayflower2020 above to go to his contact page.

Send an email asking for his email address so you will have his address to tell paypal where to send the gift.

When you are at paypal and go to send the money, make sure to find the "gift" option or paypal will keep some of the money you send.

I am sending Mayflower an email as soon as I post this.
