* I'd like to thank Adam Lane and Utah Coins for their contributions, which are the PCGS graded proof nickel and wheat cent. :) I received these a while back as giveaway prizes, and feel like it's time to pass them on to someone who will also appreciate them.


UPDATE ---11/19
This just arrived from our friend regandon, a 1979 type 2 proof set and a 2006 State Quarter proof set, all slabbed and beautiful!!!  Thanks regandon for your very generous contribution! :)

Still trying to get my 20 month old grandson to sign up so that he may enter, but he still can't decide on a username, password or refrain from hitting the delete and esc keys.

Yes, as I research it (because I don't know much about proof sets), the Type 2 set is a very special one, and has a value of 8-10 times that of a type 1.  But besides that, these are just undeniably beautiful high grade coins. 

I remember first seeing the Susan B. Anthony in '79 when I was in grade school.  Seeing this one again made me think of that.  Neat stuff!

This is going to go to one lucky winner.  I may add a second prize if we get more people signed up, but I would like to keep it simple and fair.  I modified the original post to more clearly state this.

Oh, and good luck, Chris! ;D
