Arrow Contest 66! First Contest of 2006!
Well, Ladies and Gents! I'm pleased to announce I will be holding the First Contest of 2006! I have had some trouble coming up with the Contest Idea, but now I think I have it!

Post a Photo of your All-time Favorite Coin! It can be one you Own or one you want to own! If you are unable to post a photo, just post the name of the coin!

The Contest will run till next Sunday Night and then I will pick the Grand Prize Winner from a Hat!

Grand Prize includes: “The Official Guide to Morgan Silver Dollars” Book, by David Q. Bowers, “The ANA Grading Standards” Book, 1 Roll of 2004-D Keelboat Nickels, 1 Roll of 2004-D Peace Nickels, and to Top it off a “Wheat” Penny!

Most important HAVE FUN!

I love this coin and I understand it's somewhat hard to find. It's my favorite by far

I Just Love This Coin
I don't at present own any Oregon Trail commemoratives but I hope to have several before I get to old to play with collecting coins. The ones that have developed a nice rainbow tone are my most desireable.
Thanks for the contest.
