I don't mean to blow my horn, I asked to forward the prize I won to a young numismatist that has been kicked into gear with a nice starter collection from other generous members from CCF. I am just one of a bunch that helped with the cause.

I said I would send him a coin or something too and committed to do so but things got crazy with returning to work and coincidentally I won this contest around the same time. The beautiful Indian Head cent was sent to our new collector.
I kept my promise that way and it is said that it is better to give than to receive. I'll bet that the younger guy was tickled to get that Indian.

Well, I did get a nice feeling doing that but I was still rewarded for that good deed from the generosity of vermontensium's large heart.
Today I come home and a found an envelope containing a nice note and inside was this cool 1829 Large Cent. It may be worn but it is very free of any problems and has nice original color. It looks better than these pictures by far and it is greatly appreciated.

I am more glad to have this prize than the 1907 Indian since this coin has a little story to it and that makes it more special.
Large Cents are so cool when they are problem free like this too.
I will look at it often and whenever I see it as I page through my personal keeper collection and think of vermontensium and this forum. Having fun and that's what collecting coins is really all about.

Thanks all!

Cool dealeo Vermont :) Thanks for doing the contest we all appreciate it.

Do you still do hedge funds and investing or are you retired from all that Dave?

vermontensium, you're a good and thoughtful man.

You should have won!
How can you argue with that :-O
