This is open to everyone - that being said, New members, sorry, but I want only members that have over 100 posts and 4 months under their belt to participate. Open to all countries, I'll pay postage, BUT! if there are any custom charges, I'll have to leave that you you to pay. I will not. So if you are not able to pay your countries customs charges, please don't enter. So the magic number it going to be 53 That means that the 53rd post wins it. You can post your name as many times as you want until 53 is reached. BUT - you cannot post back to back - like you cannot just post 53 times right now and win it. Anyone braking this simple and only rule will be disqualified.when you post, you must wait for 5 newer posts to be entered before adding your name again. For instance if you are the 1st post, you cannot post until 5 other 'different' persons have posted, so your next post would be the 7th. Get it? So careful calculations will be needed to get to 53 on the spot, as 5 does not go into 53 evenly. Get it? The prize is a 1909 VDB Lincoln Cent in what I think is VG or F condition. I placed it in the Modern coin grading section to get input from everyone that wants to try and grade it. and a 2006-S Kennedy half dollar Clad Proof.     I think I got it all in. ( hope so - This is just an impromptu give-a-way 'cause I want to) GO! Edited by Dearborn

Fun contest. I replied to your grading request for the 1909 VDB cent so I might as well reply here as well. Suppose I am #2.  51 to go.  Edit to add - my eye sees a 2005-S proof half so you might consider editing your post. Thanks.

Did I win did I win did I win DID I WIN?
Oh, and a rules question? Does your initial post count as a post or just the reply posts?

EDIT to address DSK's post below this one. she is entered to keep the post count easy to count later and to avoid confusion.
In fact, I'm counting EVERY post except mine to count to the total - you see math is NOT my friend here lol
You will notice that I6609 would be one early post if I do not count DSK.

Nice of you to give away those coins. Don't include me in the running. I have enough of both.
