I feel generous at the moment. So the contest is guess how many coins I have in my personal collection. The contest will run until Feb. 3rd. I turn 41 that day so gonna celebrate it by donating coins to winner. But people who participate know this the Winner has to make a donation to The forum after you get your prize in mail. It will be up to the winner how much they want to donate based on how happy you are with prize. One guess per person. Good luck and God Bless.

I'm guessing 278 unless the penny laying on top of the DD box counts, if it does then 279.:)

:LOL_Hair: yeah that one counts but is also one I'm giving away. It's the one I posted with the abnormality with what appears feeder finger damage on the 2009 cent I posted.

Don't worry bout bills question was only coins. For the record the bill is 00001234. The story behind it that it was my last find I got to show a friend of mine before he passed away. He was in charge of the tricounty coin club. He was a good friend and will never sell the bill. The coin club meeting was not even a mile from my house. Since he passed it is now almost 40 miles away.

So far prize consolation consist of 1998 strong trail die, 3 1972 DDOs, Shield die clashes (strong ones possibly unlisted), shield DDOs and DDRs, nice greaser, 2009 odd die damage, and so on. God Bless and thanks for participating.

Few more days I expect more guesses. The prize is well worth the guesses. The items will ship to whoever wins on Feb.4th in the AM. I'm trying to make it a total of 41 coins because I turn 41. I can't promise 41 though but trying to dig up everything I can that is an error or die variety. Thank you for those who participated so far.

Lol don't worry I will be having a lot of these donation contest with all proceeds towards LCR. I need to clean up extra clutter of coins that isn't with personal collection. My kids already have about 8000 coins so I think they have enough ATM.

I didn't get anything from you. Your inbox is full and I think its making it so you cant even send messages either. Delete some inbox messages and sent ones and try again. I looked in my gmail and nothing from you there also.

Nice of Larry to pass on his good fortune.

I was going to enter and win by saying exactly 4 boxes of coins :) :LOL_Hair:

Nobody lives forever and my little one would rather have a LOL ball or Barbie doll or Hatchimal than a bunch more errors or varieties. To her they're no fun so I understand Larry passing it on. The fun is in the finding more than the getting. LOL :)
