They have anywhere from 6-12 prizes ranging from Morgans, mint sets, Barbers, etc. There are usually about 45 members attending. I spent a buck on two tickets for myself and $5 on some for my daughter. The way it works is the first winner picks first and so on. Before the raffle, I turned over one of my two tickets and wrote "winner" on it and told Bob and my daughter I was going to win with my ticket #507 (power of positive thinking). They call the first winner, she goes up. That winner picks the next ticket out of the jar and it is my daughter. I had already coached her to get the 8 over 7 doubled 1878 Morgan. She goes up then pulls the next ticket....#507. Wahoo I get a 1879 Morgan. 4 Morgans and we got 2 of them off the board. Then the last ticket was for my daughter again and she got a 1966 half. Very good night!</p><p> </p><p>Bob, you have to get the tellers in Friendswood working for you! Turn on the charm and add a few treats and they will collect silver for you. They don't seem to like to "collect" a lot but if you only ask them for one thing...like silver halves or dimes, they are usually agreeable. I have given some of mine candy, gift cards, regular signed cards, chocolate, donuts, t-shirts, coins, etc. But I promise it has been well worth it.</p><p> </p><p>Oh and we should also congratulate Bob as somehow he will be the new Vice President of the coin club and the funny thing was he only told them he would think about it.
