A Competition & Prize for You: Identification

[drkrish]

Congrats !!

[Figleaf]

A great gift and encouragement, Drogunks. Make sure it gets a good home, with pleasant neighbours in your collection. It's also a wonderful opportunity to read up on Rabindranath Tagore. He's the perfect role model for a young, enthusiastic Indian.

(Happy to see you have electricity today; apparently, others are not yet so lucky.)

I and Paise decided to gift the coin to Drogunks (Akash). The correct tracking number is EU675827882IN. It can be tracked here
Speed Post Tracking It took extra time to reach Bhubaneshwar. Now Akash has confirmed that he received the proof coin.

Excellent Akash, glad you like it !

[drkrish]

So, as the suspense is over...plz tell us how did you guys  get his address??

[paisepagal]

I've had it for a long time, and I still have to send Akash a little something

[paisepagal]

Btw, it was this particular post that helped me choose, the fact that he's the youngest active member of our forum

Really nice of both of you to encourage a young collector!

[Drogunks]

So I am the youngest here.  I like it.    Yes Peter, I will get good neighbours for my coin. Right now he doesn't have any pleasant ones. He will leave with my cross 2rs mule coins of 2005 and 2007, 1996 milled edge 5 rupees coins. For now he will have to live with them. And yes I am accessing net through laptop. We have electricity but for no good. The voltage is very very low. The light is less brighter than candles.

Ashwin ji thank you very very much for recommending me. You can never guess how happy you have made me.

(And yes the light is bright again )

Congrats, Drogunks!! I was dying to know the name of the winner. You are just 18 and you still have loads of time. I am sure you will have many more proof coins in your collection soon. I am also planning to buy my first Indian proof coin soon but price is definitely the biggest concern. 

Kansal ji, when is the next competition? 

[srinath]

if i am not wrong, this young man must be the youngest person on the forum and has not responded to this thread..

I can imagine what a joy it was to receive such a lovely and unexpected gift. 

The missing electricity made the news today - even here in Australia!

I dont know how many proof sets of Civil Aviation were made by the Mumbai mint with a die crack error.
I request members like The Orcle, Paise, Engipress etc to inform if their proof sets have die crack or not.
