susieq Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Hello everyone, If you know anyone interested in the 2006 International Classic Cars 5 Coin Silver Proof Set I am selling them on eBay for $350.00 start. I am donating the gross proceeds of the sale to the Hopital Albert Schweitzer in Haiti, an organization that has worked in Haiti for over 50 years and thus is able to help with longterm rebuilding of the country (please see their blog at http://hashaiti.blogspot.com for daily updates). I will make the donation in your name and email you the receipt for your records (you'll need to trust me on this but I'm an old fashioned my-word-is-my-bond kind of person). Byron King also likes this charity, I guess because he's from Pittsburg and knows members of the Mellon family (Larry Mellon started HAS with part of his Mellon fortune, and lived and worked at HAS for many years with his wife Gwen. The current director is Ian Rawson, Gwen's son). Thank you, SQ P.S. I accidentally put this in the museum earlier........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumisMattic2200 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Good luck with your auction and I hope it raises a large amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susieq Posted January 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Hello again, I've lowered the starting bid to $50.00. Hopefully someone generous will bid. Rebuilding in Haiti will take many, many years - those involved are talking about a "Haitian Marshall Plan" - this letter to the FT yesterday was especially well thought out and interesting - http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/bc9693d4-0c75-11...144feabdc0.html I am currently reading the book "Silver Bulls" by Paul Sarnoff about the 1980 spike in the silver price - very interesting book. Thank you, sq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susieq Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Sorry, it's eBay Item #120524642324. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...%3D1&_rdc=1 So far just one bid for $50.00. I bought the coins directly from the Perth Mint when issued for about $US 350.00. Thank you, SQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
