Default Penny auction to support TQ.

Well with all the good things y'all have been doing to help keep this site going I've decided it's about time I did something to help out some. I pm'ed Greg and got his permission to auction off all my wheatpennys and donate the procedes to TQ ! I have about 8-9 pounds of wheatbacks that I have dug and found in change over the years.There may even be an Indian or two floatin around in there also.So there ya have it.any questions give me a shout ! Have a good one y'all !

OK thought I should add a few details.Whata ya say we start the bid at $20 ( and try to remember this is my lifes collection and it all goes to a great site ! )run it for two weeks (today 7/19/08-8/2/08)and I'll pay shipping and insurance so all y'all gotta do is bid and get yourselves a really BIG bottle of hydrogen peroxide and have some fun ! oops ! Have to edit this one more time ! There will be a reserve price,I'll pm it to Greg Thanks ! Ok one more edit ! Please make all bids to this thread,Thanks !

Here's About 1/2 of my Pennies. I'll run them though the bank machine this week and post the receipt.

Cheers,
