hubs are raised to strike the die to make an imprint on the die so it then can strike to make the outline of the coin

DS is the one running this. So send him a PM and ask him what to do. I should have clarified this and apologize for not doing so.

I posted the verification so he would see it. I should have sent it directly to him instead...but was wanting to issue a congratulations and didn't think about it!

I will send it directly to him now. :D

Hmmm...I thought Daniel had re-opened these.

I will let him make that decision.

I sent the info to DS (admins can send PMs), and also asked him to explain the workings of this whole contest to me so I know who to contact when I need to.

DS has the verification now though so I assume when he is on the forum next time there will be progress.

And...y'know...we (well- its me assuming for all of us!) expect pictures of the prize so we can all once again congratulate you when you get it :D

Only certain individuals can PM. Just can't PM someone who does not have the PM authorization.
