    You guys are so generous with such awesome stuff! Thanks for the opportunity!

    I've never owned any gold, although I was supposed to get my late father's $5 Quarter Eagle that was minted the year he was born (1925), when he died... not surprisingly, it "wasn't there" when my sister said she would look for it... she also pawned his 12 string Ovation guitar, which was also promised to me... I would have paid her for both, but it's water under the bridge. That was 20 years ago come November, and I honestly haven't talked to her since a week after his funeral... she has had a drug problem, among other things.
    The good news is I have several other 1925 coins my Dad gave me over the years, most are in lightly circulated condition, nothing heavily worn, from 1c, 5c, 10c, 25c, Stone Mtn Half, and a Peace dollar he gave me on my 5th birthday (1972)… I've only recently started collecting the Walking Liberty dollars in MS70 (since 2015) for my 2 granddaughters, and what coins I have will go to them when I pass... granted they're old enough.

    I really like collecting old roman coins. I just work too much during the summer to keep up with it. Can't wait for winter layoff!!! IMG_20190316_194558582.jpg

    There is a very good chance you just downloaded a bunch of malware to your computer if you tried clicking on those links.

    In today's world, you should really think about it before you click on a random link, unless you know the user and exactly what you're looking at.

    If you do any type of financial transactions on your device, you might want to consider changing all your passwords now.

    Here is some more information, and, it doesn't contain any malware...I promise! https://inspiredelearning.com/blog/click-phishing-link/

    I could be wrong (and have been before), but I don't think @TONYBRONX was posting malware?

    That being said, who knows what he was trying to post. And yes, you make a good point. I clicked the mysterious links despite the cybersecurity training I've had at work. I click on a lot of stuff I probably shouldn't.

    Yes, I do too. :bag:

    Hope you don't think I was singling you out. That was not my intent.

    I just never know what someone's knowledge on this subject is and am hoping to share whet little knowledge I have. At work, I sit next to our Lead Security Analyst, so I hear a lot of horror stories...

    I have never owned a gold coin the closest thing I have is this which the person I got it from told me it was found on a civil war battlefield. A really cool piece But it’s not real gold. Anyhow thanks @lordmarcovan for giving us all the opportunity

    Has anyone been searching hard for the W quarters. @furryfrog02 is clearly hogging up all the supply.

    None for me... yet! I do want to find at least one before the year ends.

    Sorry! Believe me, all I want is 4 of each. One for me and each of my kids. I certainly don’t want 33 American Memorials! Lol

    Never owned any gold coins. Maybe the great people throwing these giveaways together can change that.

    I was walking down the street and a beggar shook his jar of change at me. All I could think was “I know you have more money than me, don’t rub it in.”

    ^why my collection has been sitting stagnant...
    thanks to all the donors who are always helping folks like myself.

    Entry Post 2,1,3,4,5 . I have several gold coins currently. I have always liked sovereigns, although I only have one at this time (an 1866 in AU55-MS60).
    For some reason, I am unable to upload my photos here this time:( so will post a link to NGC Verify page of a coin that I recently got out of layaway : https://www.ngccoin.com/certlookup/2782389-003/63/
    ~thanks to everyone again for another great giveaway:cat:

    Hi, everybody. Was out of town on vacation, and simultaneously under the weather for a little while. Sorry I've fallen a bit behind. Will try to get the drawing done soon.

    The July giveaway will launch a little bit late, perhaps after the holiday. I'm back to work now, and will be at work all week (no holiday for us resort hotel people during holidays!)

    One reason the July will have a late launch is a good reason- there are more donors and prizes than ever before! I've got a lot of pictures and descriptions and stuff to gather together, which will take a little while.
