Thank you very much Will!!! Even though I really didn't want a prize... this is so much fun and I am grateful!!! Not every day you get some nice Lincoln's in your mailbox!!! Although someone I know finds them on the ground while checking their mail Excited to see what is coming to Alabama!!

I shipped all of the packages today. They should arrive Friday or Saturday. After some thought, I thought of the perfect prize coins for Vivien, so I altered my original plan a bit. Enjoy everyone!

Awwww Will thank you so much!!! This is going to be a real treat for me, getting verrryyy excited!!!

[VAB2013]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH WILL!!!!!!!!!! I am in total shock and I just can't thank you enough!!! When you said you were giving the coin selections more thought, I thought you were sending me a 2000 with chicken lips but boy was I wrong!!! Guys... I can't say what he sent me, but all I can say is Will is one very generous guy!!! You REALLY need to enter these contests!!!

[VAB2013]

Will said it is ok so I can tell you all what he sent me!

Ok... are you ready?

A 2006 Wavy Step trail die (awesome selection Will, I have never found one of these!!!)

A 2006 Doubled Die Ear!!! (another awesome selection - I can only think of all of the photos of ears you and Roger and Bob and others on the forum had to look at a couple of y(ears) ago when I was just starting to learn. Thank you so much for putting up with me and helping me learn. And thank you very much Will for this great coin!!!)

and...

A 1997 Doubled Die Ear!!!!!! This one just blew me away Will!!!!! Oh my gosh, thank you sooooo much!!!!!! I am so grateful, and it's so pretty I didn't want to touch it!!!! This is one awesome looking coin, I can't believe it!!!

Will, thank you so much, I really appreciate you doing this!!!!

If David says it's ok for me to tell you all what he sent me, then I will. I have been busting at the seams keeping it a secret because David sent me some very awesome coins too!!!

Ok, I got the go ahead from David to tell you all what he sent me!!! I think David has ESP or something because he really read my mind with what I have been struggling with lately and he sent me my birth year coin!!!

I have really been struggling with coins that I think could be RPM and MMs but I haven't said anything about it because I bug ya'll with enough stuff. Well, after seeing the awesome ones David sent to me, I realize I am just looking at beat up mint marks!!

The first one is a 1960D-1MM-063 and David sent me a beautiful example of this coin! Here is the link to coppercoins.com

The second one is a 1959D-1MM-005 D/D/D and it is awesome looking!!! I have never seen anything in my hand like it, and doubt that I would ever find this one!!! Here is the coppercoins.com link

Next is a 1954S-1MM-004, Top 100 RPM!!! This RPM is absolutely outstanding, not only is it a beautiful wheat coin, the S/S is freaking awesome to see!!!
Here is the coppercoins.com link for this one

And... now I am going to tell you all how old I am... because the fourth coin David sent is a 1961 Proof Coin!!!! I love it, thank you David!!!! I have never seen a proof coin in hand, and this is a very special one!!! Wow... the color and everything about it is beautiful!!!!

David, thank you so very much!!! I appreciate you sending me these coins so much!!! I love them!!!

Man, oh man, what a contest!! I'm with Vivien when I say I was not looking for a prize, but I was thrilled with what I received. You guys really went over the top!! Way beyond my wildest expectations and I can't thank Will and David enough!! I received several coins that are new to me (2014-P DDO#3, 2015-P WDDO-009, etc) and that is not easy to do!! I second the fact that these contests are not to be missed! Thanks so much for the best contest I have ever taken part in!! Have a great week everyone!!

Hell, I didn't even do anything but pay feasance to Will by liking one of his posts, and even I got some great coins from Will. I enjoyed watching this contest unfold. It's a testament to the people here that the contest would be so rewarding both in generosity and in education.
