Contest: Book Title

[leeg]

Winner of this contest will receive this:

 

 

 

Purchased from Commemdude, Dr. Mike, who won it out of one of Jeremy's Charity Auctions.

 

My book in around the Classic Commemorative Series of coins, including gold issues. I may add the Norse Medal if I can get some true history around the piece. I know a person who can be of major assistance to me. My work is for collectors and I want as many collectors involved in this as possible.

 

I feel the title should be based on the history, events, and people, who had a part in this series coming to life in 1892 and continuing thru 1954.

 

The winner will also be forever famous by having a line in the book as the title contributor.

 

 

Please post your thoughts here or by PM.

 

 

Let's all have some fun with this and don't think your title may be too "out of the norm", you may just be a winner.

 

 

I'll let this run for a couple weeks or until no more contributions given for a period of time.

Lee's book takes a different view of commemoratives than others - he emphasizes the events and people, as well as including the usual basics. Much of this is not available elsewhere.
