1000th post contest

I'm going to hit 1000 posts soon so here's the contest.

1. Reply to this post with a link with anything to do with Numismatics. It could be to a prior post on cointalk, your favorite coin store or a link to any article. The articles will not be graded but you must post one to qualify.

2. In your reply to this post choose a number from 1-1000. My daughter has already chosen one. The closest 3 numbers to the one she has chosen will win the prizes. Ties will be broken with a coin toss. Closest number picks prize first, then the second and third. Do not PM me your number.

3. Contest ends 15 Jan 2009 at 11:59 PM EST. Good luck. One entry per cointalk member, check the numbers that contestants have picked no duplicates please.
