<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sunflower, post: 1528837, member: 23219&quot;]This specific post is my 2,000 post on CoinTalk. :hail:</p><p><br /></p><p>CONTEST GUIDELINES:Write down a brief story about a coin(s) or currency/note that you have gifted out. The story does not have to be a recent one - meaning you could have gifted the item out years ago. Describe why it was important to you and the recipient. </p><p><br /></p><p>The contest is open until I make my 2012th post on CoinTalk - that means the contest closes after I have only made 12 more posts. I am real busy these days, so I think you will have some time to participate. </p><p><br /></p><p>Please limit one story per post. Maximum of two posts please.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Winner will be decided by reading the stories to my husband. Which ever one he thinks is the sweetest will win. I will decide on any tie breakers. Not sure what the prize will be yet. It will be up to the winner to take a pic and post if desired since I do not take pics.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>-----------------</p><p>As an example, here is my story.</p><p><br /></p><p>My husband&#039;s classmate (class of 1947) made a casual comment about his cent collection during his 55th high school reunion. He indicated that he was only 3 holes short of completing his collection (started in high school). All three needed coins were the steel cents (1943s). I happen to have all three of the cents - all in BU, maybe Mint State Condition. I mailed them to him. He was delighted. Weeks later, I received a very nice note stating that he was still looking for his folder to put them in. Overall, he was tickled. It was a little hard to let go of my best steel cents, but it felt like the right thing to do. It felt pretty awesome for just a moment or two to know that I could be part of finishing a nice fellow&#039;s life long collection.&nbsp; :yes:</p><p><br /></p><p>Have fun and good luck!</p><p>Tess[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
