I have a bunch of extra US proof sets to give away to young collectors. No one older than 18 please. Four sets per giveaway, all different, random choice. Open to members or offspring of members who are serious about collecting.
To enter, send a PM of about one hundred words telling your age, how long you have been collecting, what your collection consists of and your collecting goals. Include address so I know where to send.
After sending the PM, post a note in the topic just stating PM sent. I have at least 16 bundles of four proof sets each to give away. Currently working on: Australia type set Canada type set Three from each country (up to 416!) UK 20th and 21st century IHC's! NGC certified MS-62 or better, 87%, Capital Plastics Fine or better, 97%, Caps Fine or better, 98% Dansco any x3, 90%, 63%, 37% and Coin Board for wall display, any grade, 97%.. (I may be a tad obsessed) |

Email is turned on. I get an error saying I don't have enough posts to send a pm. Of course I can't find what that magic number is either.

Very generous, jgfindring!
@CoffeeTime, I don't see in the FAQ nor Tutorial a number of posts requirement for email, but hopefully a moderator will comment and let you know what it is.

Thanks for finding that info. It must have been buried somewhere. Here's one more post towards 50.

Very generous. If after a while you are finding it hard to find young numismatists, perhaps you can consider expanding to those who simply haven't collected proofs yet, but are interested in doing so.
