Serious Coin, Serious Cause
Earlier this month I read an article in the Washington Post about how military coins are becoming a hot commodity, and it gave me an idea, which seems like an even better idea in the wake of the tragedy at Ft. Hood.
I have in my collection a stash of my personal coins left from my days as Senior Pentagon Correspondent for CNN (I was the only Pentagon correspondent to have his own coin), and I thought what if I auctioned one off, for charity?
The charity I have in mind is T.A.P.S. — Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors, which provides support and counseling for family members of fallen servicemen and women, 24/7.
The actual cost of the rare CNN collectible coin is $10. That’s what it cost me. So let’s start the bidding at $15.
Just add your bid in the comments section below, and I’ll leave the action open for a week. The “winner” will get mint condition coin, and a handwritten statement of authenticity from me, once they send a check directly to T.A.P.S.
The coin comes in classic “Red and Gold” or the elegant “Silver and Gold”, your choice. This is a limited one-time offer*, to add a rare, collectible limited-edition collectible coin to your collection, and help a really good cause during a time of need.
No pressure, but I told the T.A.P.S. folks this would likely end their funding problems in the short term
Thanks!
*Unless it’s REALLY successful, in which case we might do it again.
