Halloween Ugly or Scary Coin/Currency Contest Results!

Okay, so the votes are in and we have pretty definite winners!

The winners for the Ugly portion are:

CoinKeeper for his beat up Trade Dollar
and
Billy_Kingsley for his uber trashed LHC

The winners for the Scary portion are:

d.t.menace for his John Q. Adams $1 coin
and
scottishmoney for his Gallia Belgica ancient

I would also like to award an honorable mention prize of a Chinese 1 Yuan note to each of the following people for getting a vote each:

Randygeki for his Domitian ancient
yorkiedad for his (I think) New Zealand penny
CamaroDMD for his 1943 10 Yen note
and Ardatirion for his ancient

Congrats to all the winners! Now please post ON THIS THREAD which of the four prizes you would like:

The 1967 British Penny with blue and purple toning
the Trinary $1 note
or one of the TWO prizes of 10 mixed Asian coins (those will be a surprise)

I will also need the winners and honorable mentions to please PM me their addys if they want their prizes.

Just so no one gets left out, I plan on doing some shopping this weekend. That way ALL the entrants may very well get a prize! Keep watching!

Thanks for the contest. I guess that ugly Adams dollar is worth more than a dollar after all! I think my eight year son would be impressed with that toned penny.

The packages are being mailed today, with one exception. (I'm still waiting on his addy.) Please everyone PM me when they get their prizes so I know they arrived safely! Unfortunately, I don't think I'll have the money for the consolation prizes that I wanted to give ALL of the entrants, but there's always next time!

Thanks Dan, my son got his prize today. We weren't expecting the yuan note. He was more impressed with that then the penny! The extra was much appreciated.
