Hello Everyone!

As a collector of mostly US coins, I have come across many World coins as well. Some of them won as a contest prize or purchased, these I will be keeping. Although some of the 'world coins' are "shall I'll say 'pretty' ". I prefer US coins and have decided to concentrate on these. So, I have decided to give The 'World coins' to someone who will appreciate them more in a GIVEAWAY CONTEST.

As some of you already know, my mother passed away recently.
So in remembrance to my 'mommy' I have put together all the 'World' coins I have in my collection including some US coins which are extras I don't need.

The contest starts 7/26/06 and ends 8/2/2006 midnight EST
Submit answers via PM.

The person who gives the correct answer will win them ALL!
If no one guesses correctly then the one closes to the answer will win.
In the event of a tie, the one who answered and submitted correctly FIRST will win.

An image of prize as well as the 'contest' will be posted on the start date 7/26/06

Ok People, I have made a few changes for the 'contest'.
Instead of a PM message post your answers here in this post. The FIRST person who guesses correctly will WIN the prize!

I will be away for the weekend and I will try to keep in touch during the 'contest'. Which still ENDS 8/2/06 Wed. midnight EST
Here is the picture of the prize. It is not much but I just thought someone here will give them a loving home.





will continue BRB.....


.......Ok! Here is the contest...... Sorry couldn't think of anything else.

If my mother had not passed she would have made it to 72
What is/was her date of birth? ....m/d/y

Sorry about your mama--those special people can't be replaced but you can hold on to your precious memories and, hopefully, you have lots of photos.

I shall guess that the grand lady's date of birth was May 10, 1934.

Got my coins. they are in great shape. I love every one of them. THanks Mila Cent.



KFC

You're quite welcome. I'm happy to see they arrived safely.
Enjoy!

Got mine in this evening's mail. They're wonderful. I haven't opened the sealed pouch yet, but have enjoyed peeking at them.

By the way the outer envelope was torn completely open when they arrived, the inner was completely intact. I guess I'm doubly lucky on this group of coins. Thank you so very much.

I was afraid of that Art with the flimsy Priority Mail envelope, didn't think at the time to put them in a box instead Anyways, glad that the inner envelope was intact. Enjoy!

The envelope that mine came in was completely intact..... Great thinking to vacum seal the coins in the bag..... Keeps them from moving and making noise, which also deters theft......




KFC

The inner package was solid as a rock. I agree that pressure sealing them was a wonderful idea. I haven't opened the pressure sealed envelope yet. Maybe I'll wait till my grandkids are here for a visit and let them open it and search the stack.

Thanks again.
