I have a 2 volume Dansco Silver Dollar set of books as follows: 1. Dansco 7173 - Silver Dollars 1878-1893 2. Dansco 7174 - Silver Dollars 1894-1935 I would like to give it to a member here who wants it. I will pay to ship it to the winner domestically or internationally. The books are lightly used. Contest Rules 1. Post to nominate someone or yourself as a contestant. Must have 100 posts to nominate. A nomination is the first vote for that person. 2. Post to vote for someone nominated to receive the Dansco books. Must have 100 posts to vote. You can use your one vote to vote for yourself. 3. One nomination or one vote per person. You cannot do both. 4. First person to receive 26 votes from eligible CCF members with over 100 posts AND posts here to let me know you received 26 eligible votes wins.    I don't do a lot of contests so let me know if I set it up incorrectly and need to change it. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Thank you for the contest, numismatic student! I hereby nominate myself. I have quite a few Morgan and Peace dollars that I've accumulated over the years, especially during my "Morgan Phase" back in the early 2000s*. These albums would help to organize many of them. *I can pile them up for a picture, if requested. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Interesting contest, thanks for sponsoring it. I'm going to hold my vote until I get a fuller picture of who is interested and why. Quote:

Interesting contest, I don't have that many silver dollars, so I will do like nickelsearcher and wait to see what happens.

very interesting contest, Now While I have many Dansco albums already and these would go nicely with in collection and would give my dollar coins a final resting place, I'll wait to see how the nomination and votes go.

I am voting for Hondo because he is a giving person who deserves some reciprocation.  |

What the heck, I'll nominate HondoB also. He's purchase off me a few times (and included a gift with payment) and I sold my Dansco Morgan albums because I never thought about trying to build a set....and too old to start now.

IMO that would help your case. And pile them up you did.  That is indeed a fine looking stash of silver dollars in serious need of organizing. HondoB now has my vote. Hope you win and eventually show us a photo of those dollars in your upcoming new albums.  |
