The CoinTalk short snorter of members 1923 $1 Silver Certificate

Here is my idea - I am going to donate a well circulated 1923 $1 silver certificate to Coin Talk community. Why I say community is because I hope that many of us will have a part in the note. My plan is to send the note to the 1st person that responds in this thread & agrees to sign the note & cover its safe postage to the next member & so on & so forth to next.

I would like this note to run though members until the end of February or if it gets filled up before that.I think that would give it enough time to make it through at least 25 members.Around that time I would like for it to be returned to me so I can photograph it & then I will put it up for sale here on the board to the highest silent bidder. All the funds from the note would go to Peter & Coin Talk to help support the site.

I am doing this with all the hopes that the people who post in thread & want to participate do it with good intent .

I think this will be a fun & neat thing to be a part of & help this great site as well.

Please keep the signature size to a natural minimum so that as many members that want to can participate.
I guess sign with your CT username or real name or both, what ever you want. (names only please)

MODS - please chime in if you see any problems with this.

So who wants to do this ? Anyone ? I dont want to sign the note if there are not any responses

Once we get a few responses I'll sign It & post the picture of it.

2nd dibs.

 

I can go third. Detecto knows my address.

 

I would suggest if this goes thru, that it be set at a dealers table at the big shows coming up if you really want to get signatures.
Money show and Fun alone at say The Penny Lady's table would get tons of signatures.

 

I would suggest before you start it, to lay down the rules and responsibilities. You said what you were going to do, but are they for the participants. Such as how it should be postaged from one person to another ( just a regular #10 envelope or one with cardboard inserts. How long may each person take to relay it on to the next. What happens if it ls lost in the mail half way through? It might be good to begin a new thread when started, with each participant adding a photo when they sign and get ready to mail on. Can members outside of the USPS participate, and how should it be shipped to them ( they need to realize international rate). Otherwise it sounds like a nice project.

Send it to Texas! I'll sign it and send it on!

 

Count me in!

 

I am in if someone will send it to Chile. I will cover international cost for sending. I suggest scan and post after each signature so we can keep track of it around the world.

 

I like the idea! Count me in!

 

I think it is a nice Idea, but I think international shipping outside the Americas will be difficult because regular mail takes up to 6 weeks each way.

 

Heck dang! Shades of WWII......count my tookus in........:devil:

 

Sounds like a really cool idea, I'm in!
I think short snorters are cool!

 

You can count me in as well sounds like a fun and community building type affair.

 

Neat idea... I'll play along.

 

OK her is the note . Like I said it is well circulated.

The note has a value of only $15 to me so there is no need to treat it as a valuable piece.
This project should be just like sending a letter to a friend & I dont have much worry about it getting lost .
I will be sending it in a regular plain envelope .Regular 1st class mail with a forever stamp. The note will be in a plastic sleeve and with a piece of paper wrapped around it.

I dont feel that delivery confirmation is nessesary but the shipping method the next person uses is up to them. I would like for the members who do this to get the note sent out to the next person withing a day or two just to keep it moving .

As for foreign members I feel that the costs & time it may take would be too much & too long. I appreciate your wanting to be involved though.

So when you get the note sign it ,snap a pic & get it back on the road to the next person. Have fun & lets see how far this sucker can travel around the sates & how many names we can get.

valente151 - I'll be PM'ing you in a moment for your address.

 

I'd love to be a part of this one!

 

I'll sign!

 

I don't think my John Hancock will add any extra value but I'm in.

 

I like the idea, count me in!
