    Great tabletop book that most everyone knows about but maybe does not have...

    100 Greatest U.S. Coins Third Edition by Jeff Garrett

    I'll ship this book to the first person that can correctly give me the answer to the following question:

    Name the famous movie star/musician who A) collects coins and B) co-wrote a song titled "Lee"

    First correct answer wins.

    I have a guess... :) I will wait to see if I'm right though.

    I believe you're looking for someone whose first and last name rhymes. I'd love to get the book, but I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to read it for a good amount of time and it should go to someone who can appreciate it sooner. Thanks so much for sharing numismatic knowledge and enjoyment! :)

    I didn't know that about Jack Black. Neat.

    BTW, @nencoin- good on you for hosting these book giveaways. I put a "CLOSED" notice in the title of your first one, but will wait a while before locking it down, so that your winner can have time to respond after receiving their prize.

    Thanks so much! I appreciate it. Should I be closing these myself? I don't want to burden anyone with extra admin work. Going to do another giveaway soon!

    Thanks,

    Nahh, you're fine. You could put a CLOSED notice in the titles if you want, but I try to do that anyway, every once in a while.

    Hopefully a little forum housekeeping on my part just helps prevent some of the more clueless newbs from wandering in six, eight, even ten years later and bumping some long-defunct giveaway back up to the top.
