This has been an intresting experience for me. I have made a couple of mistakes here one of them causing me to award 2 prizes.
First, becuase of my lack of typing and computer skills 2 members thought (legitimately) that I was trying to trick them. I corrected that but no one has entered since then. The winner of this prize,a 1999-2000 fireworks privy SML, is nohope587.
Second,when I started this I thought there was only 4 images.I never condidered the 50¢ piece to be a circulating coin so I forgot about the failed 2002 attempt to reintroduce the coin to circulation.I have plenty of early examples of well worn coins and I remember my dad telling me it was favoured as a gratuity to railroad and hotel porters in the 40's.I've just never seen it as a circulating coin.The winner of this prize, a 1988
RCM specimen set, is SFDukie.
Thanks to everone who participated in my contest.
Just send me your address and I'll get the prize(s) away
I have an excellent image of the specimen set but,referring back to my computer skills, the image is too large and I can't seem to change it. Perhaps someone could help me.
