This is something I am sure you will value for life beyond the marketable value of this piece for several reasons. I congratulate you. I would like to be a fly on the wall in a hundred years when one of your grand kids says... "...it was won in a contest on the "Internet" while the artist was still alive. The "Internet" was the way they communicated socially on a broad scale back then." Imagine a similar contest had it been held in 1909. I would expect it would have involved extensive effort and certainly would not have yielded the same amount of social interaction across as extensive an area. I thank bobby131313 for running this contest.

For some reason, my forum clock said 10pm when I wrote my post, but my posting shows it was done at 11pm, oh well.

Kinda like that exercise in grade school when the teacher hands you a sheet with 10 questions, listed in 1-10 on the page, but at the top is a small two line instruction which says: please use read all instructions prior to starting the test and goes on to say, do not answer any question on this test, put your pencil down and wait for your teacher for the next instruction.
Then after 5-10 minutes the teacher says stop and reveals the true test was to see who read the instructions prior to starting. Anyone who read the instructions properly didn't answer a single question, everyone else failed.
I guess it's the way the world is today, no one even has time to read all the way through a thread before responding to it. I am seeing this a lot on several different BB's I'm on. Makes me wonder how successful cold sales calls can be these days. You know it's bad when companies with whom you've agreed to their terms and conditions can't even come back and hold you to what you agreed upon because it's later deemed to be too long for someone to have actually read. LOL. I'm sure you all know what I mean hear. Oh, you want to download something in your iTunes account, well, first please read our 320 pages of user terms and agreements and then you can download your Brittney Spears album.
Thank you, drive home safely everyone, cause I love this coin and am not giving it up!
