My 1000th Post...this'll be fun!

[liveandievarieties]

Just looked at my stats and I realized that I'll be coming up on my thousandth post in a bit....

I joined LCR a bit less than a year ago, guess I average 100 posts a month, maybe a little more depending. This forum has become a very real aspect of my personal and professional life, I'm grateful for this.

So with that said, here's what I want to do-

I've got 3 coins, winner's choice. Simply PM me when you see me hit my thousandth (1000) post. I probably won't notice, so PM me with the time.... First person to get in touch with me within 10 minutes of my post gets his or her choice of coins, shipping included:

#1- 1939-S 1c. NGC MS-66 Red
#2- 1954-S/S 1c. RPM #4 EDS ANACS MS-64 RB
#3- 1955-D/D RPM #3 FS-503 PCGS MS-64 Red

Not going to make mention of this offer again, so it's up to ya'll to have a better memory than I do. Thanks everyone for making LCR the amazing place it is!!

Chris, Great incentive, and congrats on your impending 1,000th post. I just realized I am sneaking up on 5,000. However, I think your rules may be a bit unfair to those who work all day, or can only be on the forum a certain time. I don't know what a fix may be since it is your generosity in the first place. Just letting you know, but knowing our membership, the prize probably isn't a big deal to them.

I really like your thinking Bob- what do you suggest to make things more square? Howabout this- I'll take one coin off the table- the NGC '39-S (because it;s going to be part of a trade deal I'm working on with another member). But I'll offer the other two coins to two different winners.

BTW- Congrats Bob, you've been a huge part of making this place what it is, 5,000 is truly a milestone. I'll be hooting and hollering loudest!

So- I'm totally open to ideas from everyone- what's the best way to have a little fun with this and make it fair for everyone?
I work from home, so there's really no schedule to my postings. Whaddaya all think?

[jallengomez]

I'll probably forget to keep up, but I'll go ahead and give you a preemptive congrats on 1000. I think I'm right behind you, but it looks like you run your mouth more than I do. :LOL_Hair:

[copperlover]

Nice to see you approaching the 1Mil. milestone. You talk much longer but I talk more often. You are much appreciated and I know you have an even greater contribution to make. Congrats when you get there.

:sign10::sign10:

And not just on this site Jody!! Just ask some of my friends from here, whether through email, on the phone or in person, there's at least 2 dozen LCR friends who can attest to that!!

[atarian]

way to go on getting closer to 1000. :)

[jfines69]

That is awesome Chris... Just goes to show you how good the people of this forum are... Congrats on the upcoming 1000th... I will be keeping an eye out for that!!!

[lara4228]

Chris, we are celebrating your babbler mouth why? :LOL_Hair: We celebrate your presence regardless of!

Suggestion #1: How about you can I keep posting back and forth until you have hit the 1000th post! Ha! Then I will be the one to actually be the winner because it was I who was conversing with you! Hehehehehehe

Suggestion #2: I don't have one :( My mind is drawing a blank on this one

[liveandievarieties]

Y'all are no help at all!

Let's do this- The first person to PM me after I hit my 1000th post wins a coin. Then, everybody who wants a shot at the second coin can post their interest on this thread for the next 5 or 6 days. I'll write the names down on pieces of paper and have my son draw one out. That way everyone has a shot. No more mention or reminding from me, I'm getting dangerously close....

In thinking about it, other than Lincolns, how many people have done a thousand of anything? Not sure I can think of much else for myself. Everyone enjoy your weekend!

[1sgret]

Throw my name into the barrel and maybe I will win for my grandson. Thanks Chris!

[thecentcollector]

Technically, you've looked through thousands of coins thousands of times :crossedlips:

[liveandievarieties]

Yup, that was my reference to Lincolns in my comment Andrew.

(totally unnessecary comment, but this makes #957!)

[AstroRaider]

I always thought I was long-winded, but you got me beat!

Compare your stats to mine.:O

[liveandievarieties]

I don't compare myself to anyone Allan, it's just not a fair contest... :sign10::LOL_Hair::sign10:

[cimperialis]

Nice thread, Chris. I'd like to participate.

I've seen 1000 species of birds. Actually, I'm nearing 1700. My primary hobby is birding.

[liveandievarieties]

Wow, that IS really cool! I'll throw your name in the bucket.

[lara4228]

I've seen/own a thousand rocks/gems/minereals.
I've heard a thousand lies. (mostly from my Brother! lol)
I've given a thousand hugs.
I've spent a thousand dollars.
I've donated over a volunteer thousand hours
I've probably said "I'm Sorry" a thousand times
And more....:LOL_Hair:

[Maineman750]

Put my name in your bucket Chris :tinysmile_hmm_t:

[lara4228]

Nice going Chris, I missed out, I was at work but its all good. Congrats. Would like to meet you someday. To bad you live in Spud-ville now.( since theres " nothing in Washington"). At least not in Eastern Washington.:LOL_Hair: You're a cool dude in my book.:tinysmile_classes_t Tom

[DoubleYou]

What! I thought he was going on a two week vacation or something, leaving it a 999 posts until he came back! :LOL_Hair::eclipsee_silver_cup
Congratulations, Chris.

[copperlover]

Chris was around most of the time while at 999 and when he checked in he didn't post for sometime. My friend is really smart and I waited for his final post; by the time I looked up he was already there. That was interesting. Thanks for some fun.

He's a pretty tricky guy alright ! But maybe Lara outsmarted him by posting the 83 ddr:LOL_Hair:

[lara4228]

So who was the winner? I'm so confused?? :tinysmile_cry_t3:

[Maineman750]

Not sure Lara...emailed him, but that was like 1:20 am Idaho time....he's probably still sleeping...or still having fun at our expense:LOL_Hair:

[lara4228]

True. I pm'd him too, but I don't think it was me. He is such a spotlight guy eh? lol

[RWBILLER]

At 1:20 am he is still probably cataloguing coins!

[kloccwork419]

So who won?..Did I miss the post somewhere?

[lara4228]
