Article in Numismatic News-Southgate 1808 half dollar giveaway
Greetings C4OA members and all "CC" fans. There's a nice article in the latest issue (Nov. 11, 2008) of the Numismatic News business section (page 44) about the four month long, six question competition that Southgate Coins hosted earlier this year. The prize was an 1808 capped bust half dollar and the contest was won by Garrett Allen, an 8-year-old Reno boy. The article contains an interview with Garrett and includes a nice picture. It's a great article about a wonderful event that shows another positive aspect of our C4OA club. Congrats to Garrett

There's an interesting side note about the coin giveaway.
The "Bonnie Hunt" talk show in Los Angeles contacted Garrett Allen (the giveaway winner) to see if he might appear as a guest.
I tell you what; Garrett will be a great poster boy for numismatics wherever he goes.
We'll hopefully get him in to "CCs" soon.
