Contest Alert: The 'I Have Too Many Slabs' Contest

I suddenly find myself having more slabs - PCI, SEGS, ICG, ANACS, PCGS,
and the shattered remains of a couple of NGCs - than at any other time
in my life. Since I need to run a contest, I decided to pass one of them
on to a lucky winner here.

It is a Silver, Brilliant Proof, FSNC #1838, Original Jefferson Nickel
Design reproduction in a SEGS slab. Here are the pictures:

Some reasons that you may want to own this coin...

1. There will be no new nickel this year so you can fill the void with
this item while you 'wait until next year'. Especially relevant for us
Cub Fans.

2. After winning this slab, you will be my Blood Brother (or Sister)
because I also have #1838 in Matte Proof that I am keeping. Actual
exchange of blood will be virtually only.

3. This is a possible design for one of the new nickels. I read that
somewhere, I think...if not, it makes for a good story. If that happens,
there may be an Ebay Opportunity for this item and we can vacation
together in the Bahamas when we sell our examples. Speedos prohibited.

4. I think everyone should, at one time or another, own a coin in a big
hunk of sealed, clear plastic with typed letters on it and I think SEGS
slabs are one of the best looking examples of the bunch.

5. If you don't like slabs (or the coin), you can always use it to prop
up the short leg on a wobbly table or chair.

6. You get to share in what is probably my best Ebay bargain that I have
ever bought.

7. And, most important of all, It's Free. :-)

The rules will be as complicated as the rest of my contests have been in
the past.

1. You have to reply to this post and then you are entered in the
contest.

2. The contest will end Sunday Nov 2nd, 2003 at 5pm - Illinois time.

3. Sometime after that, my kids will take all the names, put them in a
hat, mix them up, and then draw a winner. I am so lazy that I make them
provide the hat too.

4. Winner will be announced sometime after that time.

Good Luck!

OK Stujo, I'll enter the contest, even if it really is a 1938 not an 1838
(coin id # on slab)

(coin id # on slab)

Just to clarify...the coin is dual dated 2002 (year of issue) and 1938
(year of design) but the slab is labeled #1838 out of a mintage of
1,938.

#1938 out of 1,938 were given out specially, IIRC and not to me. :-)

Put my name in the hat too.

Another reason to want it: I have a small collection of slabs but no
SEGS yet. :-)

I like it, but my coin fiend daughter would like it better, so count us
