The Tarnished Truth
*** Vol III *** January 2004 *** Issue III ***


      Howdy Folks - Welcome to The Tarnished Truth !

    December - it's never been a month I really cared for much. It's cold, there's lots of snow, and it gets dark too dang early ! It's also of course the month for Christmas - a holiday I enjoyed a whole lot more as a kid ;-} But it was a pretty good month for WINS. We held our largest and most successful auction to date ! Hopefully it will be the beginning of a Christmas tradition for the club. I'm sure JD, our auctioneer, will have additional comments about it.

We are also heading into our last week for entries in the WINS club coin and logo contest. Members who wish to participate should use the link below. There are also a couple of other contests, which were conducted by 2 club members, Joe Garbarini and myself Doug Prather. These contests were open to members who have signed up for the WINS Talk list and WINS Trading Post list. Joe's contest was for the member who could come closest to the closing price for silver on 12/31/03. The prize is to be a Bust Half Dollar. My contest was for the member who could come closest to predicting the high for gold in 2003 with the prize being a tenth oz. American Gold Eagle. Both of these contest are now ended and the winners will be announced in next month's Newsletter.

I again would urge all WINS members to participate in this Newsletter. It is your method to share with the membership what is going on, numismatically speaking, in your life and with your collecting. I would especially encourage our YN members to participate. Tell us what you have learned or hope to learn in the future. Or tell us what collecting goals you may have achieved. Our more advanced members cam always share with us their knowledge on a given subject in the form of an article long or short. And any of you can always share collecting stories or just any comments you may have about what is going on in the Numismatic world. We are a very diverse group with members from all over the world and I am sure that each and every one of you has something to share with the rest of us. It's not hard and doesn't require much effort. C'mon - give it a try ;-}

    That's about it for now - I hope you enjoy this as well as future issues of - The Tarnished Truth.

Doug Prather, editor
