Ok, I'm in, but please give to @BuffaloHunter if I win! Man, you almost made me cry! LOL!

Great story, and I hope you win!

 

This is a wonderful looking coin, and I am in for it!!!!! My tidbit is that in Russian, this was known as either as a polushka or poludenga. Even though it is a 1/4 kopek, it was started as a way to have half a denga and polushka is the Russian word for Half, and Poludenga is their word for half a denga (polu = semi, and semi is the same as half), and a denga was a half kopek. Interestingly, now, denga is simply a word that we would translate as money. Not minted since the end of the Russian revolution in 1917, denga remained as a term not for the denomination of money but for money itself. So still, go to Russia and you need denga.

And I have been to St Petersburg.. spent several days there once. Had a lot of fun seeing the sights and learning to take the metro.

 

Thanks, Eric, I sure do appreciate that.

Geez, I didn’t realize I would hijack the second giveaway. Sorry, everyone, as that was certainly not my intention.

 

No worries! I figured that you really wanted this coin, so why not see if I can help out a little bit!

 

I'm in and like to give mine to @BuffaloHunter, what a great story. Here is one that I didn't do very good on. Let's just say it taught me a very good lesson.

 

Thank you, kindly, for the extra chance!

 

Jimminy Cricket, I've got to make this drawing somewhat balanced. I'm entering for me. For the sole reason of equitable distribution of entries.

And I'll follow along with @Sting 60 and post my 1909-S IHC

 

Sorry man. I'll get you next time it's not too exhilarating.

 

Congratulations @Dimedude2 !!! Your spoils are on the way!

 

Congrats, @Dimedude2!!!

 

I am fortunate and honored.

 

I definitely want this prize, I have 18 coins on the way, I'd love to see 19

 

I'm in too and if I'm drawn, please give it to @BuffaloHunter , appears to be serendipitous synchronicity to me!

 

Thank you for the extra chance!

It just so happens that one of my favorite downhill runs at my local ski resort is named Serendipity.
