Some people love it, some people hate it. I am indeed a fan of this one!

 

..

 

If this is your oldest coin, i feel very sorry for you ( ) if not, then this entry has been disqualified.

 

"...only US coins aloud" ;-)

 

guess I missed that part.

 

Geez, CG.... the guy takes the time to participate and share a coin he's rightfully proud of, and you want to "disqualify" him over something so trivial age the coin's age? But hey... it's your contest, so do as you please.

 

To be fair, I only read half of the first post and decided I'd just post a coin.

 

But still... this didn't warrant the harsh public rebuke of disqualification IMO.

 

Id didn't mean for it to be harsh, sorry bout' that. I was just making sure the rules were followed.
I guess i never actually stated that it HAD to be your oldest us coin....

 

anyone else want to get into the contest?
It will be open till the 31st!

 

I could, but I feel a bit lazy at the moment...

You can't go wrong with these.

I wish someone had given me one!

[I think that that follows all the rules.]

PS: What is a thumbnail?

 

Thumbnails are reduced-size versions of pictures, you can see a picture enlarged by clicking on its thumbnail.

 

Thank you

 

I have a golden rule, each coin in my collection must be a VF35 or higher grade. I would make an exception for your Flowing hair $1/2 though

 

Just a measly 8 days till the entries must cease! so get your coins in now!
Remember, winner gets one custom coin ring from MJ Gifts and Novelties!

 

What about the SMS set?

 

If green wants to give that to the prize pool, I am fine with that, but he does not have to at all.

 

I'm good for the set. Just tell me where it's going. Currently out of town but I assure you that the prize will arrive in mid June when I'll return to my home environs.........
