View Full Version : 3000th Post Contest

I know I've missed most of my landmark posts (1000, 2000, whatever), so I thought I wouldn't miss my 3000th! It will probably occur in the next couple days or weeks from now, as I have a big gabber. :crossedlips: Probably days however, as I see I've posted 24 so far today. But then I don't know, since I'll be in different circumstances for a little bit. At anyrate, I'm in a generous mood, so I thought I'd make this simple little contest.
Post here your best guess of the Date and Time for when I will post my 3000th post. Whoever is closest will get a BU red 1961-D Lincoln Cent RPM#7 (Coppercoins 1MM-007), which is a really cool triple punched mintmark. Now I just noticed that the pictures on Coppercoins are of a circulated example, so I guess I could say you're getting a coin better than the one in the pictures :tongue:.
Now, that's not all! All guessers shall be entered into a drawing for a AU 1956 Lincoln Cent DDR-007, 7-R-VI (Coppercoins 1DR-001 and Wexler WDDR-001 stage B). This is a strong class VI DDR. I'll give you a copy of Wexler's attribution letter along with it for an added bonus.
And wait, there's more! The first person to capture a screenshot of my 3000th post and post it to this thread shall get a BU Red 2004 Lincoln cent 1DEO-004T, which is a really cool trail die. In case you don't know how to make a screenshot, it's real simple. Simply press the PrntScr (printscreen) button and paste your clipboard in any photo editor, like Microsoft Paint, and save as a picture (you can crop it if you want).
Good luck!

You know what, I should have you guys post what time zone you're in. Otherwise, since this post was started 12/15/11 at 9:30 PM EST, answers like Chris's make less sense :wink:
And no, you cannot call me Gabby :)

Well, 3000 posts have been reached, and Abe won the first coin, being off only by a little less than six hours.
The 2nd coin. This is where I have to work! Now where did I put my hat? Ok, so I crunched up an old receipt from eating some very good pizza into little strips with your names on it. I reach into my hat that is a replica, supposedly, from the Revolutionary war, after stirring things up of course. Maybe I should be videotaping this.... And I pick a name. Who wins number 2? RWBILLER is pulled! Congratulations Roger!
Congratulations go to Lara for the screenshot. Did you take that with your camera? LOL. I hope you enjoy trails. I also would like to thank Simon for the creative screenshot.
Winners! Congratulations! PM me your addresses and I will get your winnings out to you ASAP.
And to all, thank you for your support and camaraderie!

Congrats to Abe, Lara, and Roger for being the winners! Guess I better get a refund on the psychic I talked to...she gave me the wrong time for the 3000th post! :tinysmile_cry_t3:
Also big congrats to Wendell as well of course.
