Think I have like 940 posts now. The contest rules are thus: In ten words or 'there about' please post what you enjoy most about coin/currency collecting. The contest winner will be chosen on the day (or very near afterwards) my 1000th post is posted. All entries will be reviewed by my lovely "Old Lady" (ROTFLing  ) and the winner in her opinion will be selected from all of the entries posted to this thread and subsequently announced. Pretty simple; A few words about your enjoyment of the hobby and my wife selects the one she likes the most when I hit 1000 posts. Have Fun...  The Prize is a very collectable (FAKE/COPY) 1889-S Morgan dollar. My guess is that it came from the far east and it's composition is anything BUT silver. After the winning selection is made I'll contact the winner using the e-mail function to get an address to send the prize to.   Take Care All and Post Away Ben  |

Try not to laugh at my 10 word response but in all seriousness...
"I'm so anal-retentive I most enjoy organizing my coins."
