Hello all..... After reading the "Golden Coin Hunt" contest I must admit it ended on a rather sour note! DAK is gone or at least it appears to be that way! The 3 winners, Twiggs, NSandler and USS56 really got burned! I have decided to honor the DAK contest and will supply the coins promised from the contest! ** The coins may be different, but the content will be gold and silver!** Please PM me your adress and I will send out the coins! 2nd winner will receive a ASE (date of my choice) as your prize. 3rd place winner will receive a Silver 1953 Gem Uncirc Rosie (10cent ) 1st place winner will receive a 1/10 oz Gold Coin (proof) of my choice. Congrats to you all and I hope this makes up for the let down! :high5: Regards, RickieB ******Winners, please send me your mailing address**************
Hey RickieB, I'm a veteran myself and I just wanted to let you know that I think that what you are doing for the contest winners is a real show of class and generosity on your part.
Twiggs and NSandler... Your coins were shipped out today. Twiggs you have yours by United Parcel Service and I emailed you the tracking#. NSandler.. yours is by US Postal Service reg 1st class mail (little box) Again congrats to you all. USS56 please send me your address... Regards, RickieB
I have joined in the contest just a couple of times but then became discourage in the way it was going. So I decided not to continue. Although, the contest was somewhat quite challenging and interesting it was with disappointment that I remove myself from trying to win a 'gold' coin which would have been my first and only one I would ever own. I've checked on it's progress on how the contest was progressing and was delighted to see it has ended with the top prize (gold) going to the person more deserving. It saddens me to see the prize(s) not going to it's new owner. Now, today I see RickieB has taken it upon himself to honor the promised prize and I must say it is very generous and honorable of you RickieB to fill in. I congratulate you for doing this selfless act. You are truly a gentlemen (assuming you are male) and most honorable. Your mother would be very proud. :bow::bow::bow::bow::bow::bow::bow: God Bless
You are truly a gentlemen (assuming you are male) and most honorable. God Bless[/QUOTE] Hello Fellow collector, thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it very much! A "gentlemen"...nahhhh, just a Grungy Grunt(LOL) that cares about certain values and principals. For the few years that I have been part of this fourm, DAK was pretty active on it. For him to up and vanish like that is some what alarming to say the least. I only hope that he is some where and doing ok???? Oh, BTW...yep I'm male...at least the last time I checked..hahahahahah Regards, RickieB
Rickie B. I wasn't even in this contest but apparently a few people got burned. Not your job to pick up the mess BUT DAMN NICE OF YOU! You get a gold star and a happy face for that and I don't just give those to anyone. clembo
