Well--I entered a contest from Bower and Merena about a month ago and today up shows a free gold coin!!!!
It is a 2005 $5 gold piece...so I guess it is a good idea to send in the list of questions they send!!!!
I'll try to post a photo tonight

Way to go, Speedy! Only thing I ever won was the draft lottery. Now, about that five bucks you owe me...

I know what you mean Speedy, having gold in your collection after so long without one, changes things. It doesn't detract the appeal of the older coins, but for me it somehow redefined the whole collection.
Good Luck,
Dave

Speedy, I think it's absolutely fantastic that you won! No doubt that it will occupy a most treasured spot in your collection for many years to come. How many of us can say that we ever won a gold coin?
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!
