[CLOSED] The Half Dime Coin Contest - #1

Update: this contest is now CLOSED.

Up for grabs are 6 coins that are all of quite good quality, ranging from a Lincoln cent to a silver quarter. This is only me first time doing this, and I wanted to try it out.

Shipping is completely free for anyone in the U.S. I currently do not ship worldwide.

Here are the rules:
1. You may enter for a chance to win any of the first 5 coins, and you can enter in as many as you want.
2. To enter, tell me a number between 1 and 50 for one of the coins. You cannot enter a number that another member has selected for the same coin. However, if the same number for another coin is not selected, you may do that.
3. You do not have to enter a number for all of the coins, but that is required if you want to win the 1935 quarter.
4. To win the 1935 quarter, you must win at least 4 out of the 5 coins.
5. On the 15th, I will draw winners using a random number generator. There will not be a guaranteed winner for all of the coins unless every number is used, but since there are 50 numbers, there could be a good competition and chat with coins.
6. If you won something, PM me with your address so I can send the coin to you. I will NOT use any of your information against you in any way.

Here are the coins:

(1) 1982-D Lincoln Cent, Large Date

(2) 1920 Cuba 5 Centavos

(3) 1959 QEII Half Crown, with Pendant (Pendant may be silver, has not been tested)

(4) 1941 East Africa 5 Cents
(5) 1955 Mexican 5 Centavos

Grand prize pictures will be sent in the next post.

Good luck, everyone! Remember, to enter, simply tell me a number between 1 and 50, and what coin(s) you want to enter for.

Here is the Grand Prize: a 1935 Washington Quarter, 90% silver!

 

Well, I do thank you! If I do decide to ship them to you, so you can ship worldwide, it would be for just this time, as I don't want to take advantage of you.

Thankfully, as I learn more about worldwide shipping, I will try it. Likely in the next contest, I will do it with raw coins. Until a few minutes ago, before looking it up, I had never heard of a global forever stamp, or that worldwide rates were actually as low as $1.55.

Hopefully soon, I can expand to silver, and possibly even gold! For this one, it is basically a trial run for what might be a running series.

Also, are there any coins in this contest that you would like to enter for a chance to win?

 

I choose the Cinco Centavos 1920, Number 14 after this Monday, my Birthday.

 

I may enter for another later, but for now I'll guess #17 for the 1955 Mexican 5 Centavos, as I think my youngest brother would love to add this to his growing collection. Every holiday I give him a bag of foreign coins to add to his pirate chest.
@The Half Dime, I appreciate your generosity in hosting a giveaway.

 

Thank you all! At 6 on Tuesday, I will announce the winner of the drawings. You could easily be the next lucky winner of some coins, depending on how many you enter for.

Also, Abram, you mean the 1955 Mexican 20 centavos, right?

 

Yeah, I just copied and pasted what you said without catching the error.

 

I'll take the Cuban 5 centavo for lucky #7 please...

 

Here are the winning numbers:
1982-D Lincoln Cent, Large Date - 41 (no entries)
1920 Cuba 5 Centavos - 23 (2 entries, no winner)
1959 QEII Half Crown, with Pendant - 11 (1 entry, no winner)
1941 East Africa 5 Cents - 46 (no entries)
1955 Mexican 5 Centavos - 7 (2 entries, no winner)

Each one was done in an honest manner, as the first number drawn was the one put down.

Thank you for participating, and I hope to see you in the next one!

 

Thanks for the giveaway. I notice you said 5 Centavos again...

 

Ah, crap, I noticed that 5 centavos again.... copying and pasting is gonna get the best of me one of these days!

Hopefully I can bring in some more items for the next giveaway. One day, I could eventually give away a rare paper note (if I ever decided to buy one)!

 

I pick the Lincoln cent. I like 3 for my pick

 

OMG...My DOB is in '45

 

Is this contest still open? Or, did it close at the drawing?

 

It closed at the drawing, but hopefully I can get another one going.

 

OK, it was still open on the forum page.
