Yeeepppyyyy.......       I just marked my milestone of 500+ post last night without knowing it. So, to "punish" myself. I am creating this "4 parts" contest/giveaway. 1) When did I first started "collecting" US coins? 2) Why did I joined this forum and what did I gain the most out of this action? 3) What coins albums am I working on right now? Hint: I am currently having coin and working on 5 albums. 4) How many people will answer at least 1 question right? The Prizes: a) The best answer for each question will win one coin (either foreign or US) - I will pick one winner for each questions. Four questions = 4 coins = 4 winners b) BONUS: you will win a special prize if you have the best answer for all 4 questions. ONE BONUS WINNER. All answer must be posted before I hit 550 posts. Otherwise, you may have to send me a gift...  Update: I am 1 posts away before this contest end... I better make it a "very quality" post.... heheheEdited by SA4H

I'll give a stab at it Bruce! 1) When did I first started "collecting" US coins? Around May/June this year. 2) Why did I joined this forum and what did I gain the most out of this action? To help amass your collection from fellow members through buying/trading for US and Other coins. More Coins! 3) What coins albums am I working on right now? Hint: I am currently having coin and working on 5 albums. Roosevelt dimes, State Quarters, Presidential dollars, Lincoln Cents, Mercury dimes4) How many people will answer at least 1 question right? 13 Edited by Nelrak

Lets see.. 1) Started US coins when you were a kid, lets say 14. Only just realized in march 2007 how much fun these coins really are. 2) Joined to learn more about the coins you love, buy and trade, and along the way, gained a few great friends I'm sure. 3) Presidential, Lincoln, Franklin, ASE's, Kennedy's. 4) 6 People will have answered at least one right ;) I'm probably not one :D :D GL everyone. |

Ok, Ok..... it's over!  Here's the result: 1) When did I first started "collecting" US coins? Winner: mycrob = 1999 (the first coin set I bought was 1999 State Quarter coin set from Littleton in 1999 - "gold plated"..... hahahaha - I will treasure it as a good lesson learned. I started putting away interesting coins and State Quarter since then.2) Why did I joined this forum and what did I gain the most out of this action? It seemed everyone did their best in answer this question. I think your answer is more or less reflecting what's in your mind regarding this forum - all are very helpful and interesting. This is a tough one for me to choose the winner. Overall, I like justabeginner the most: "You joined this forum because you just started collecting coins and wanted to learn more, plus you found this forum very friendly and interesting. You have gained a lot of valueable information about coins and enjoyed expanding your collection through a vast number of trades and buyings with/from members of this forum."
3) What coins albums am I working on right now? Hint: I am currently having coin and working on 5 albums. Answer: US Type Set 7070; Lincoln Cent; Buffalo Nickel (I bought 10 of them from tmor, on this forum); Mercury dimes; Roosevelt Dimes. I mentioned a lot about the 7070 Type Set - it should not have been that hard. I did bought the ASE album and had some coins ready to put in but wasn't considered about it when I post the question. I bought/acquire State Quarters and Presidential dollars but haven't thinking/starting to put them in Albums yet, sorry for the misleading info..... it was kinda tricky.... hehehe.
I know mycrob's answer and arthrene's answer are almost the same and both got 3/5 right but since mycrob already won 1 prize and arthrene got #4 answer almost right; so, I will give this question/prize to arthrene. 4) How many people will answer at least 1 question right? Answer: 9 = Winner: Jser (I like the "75%" answer from brefos77 though, but it's not the right answer, I am so sorry)All 4 winners (mycrob, justabeginner, arthrene, Jser), please email me your mailing address to claim your prize. My intention is to make the contest fun and rewarding. I know nothing is perfect and my contest is the same. I can't make everyone happy - hopefully there are no hard-feeling. Thank you all for participating. Edited by SA4H

I'd considered mycrob question (first person to answer right win) and also I want to spread out the prize - each participant to win one prize - consider my original post: " I will pick one winner for each questions. Four questions = 4 coins = 4 winners"
Thank you all.
