    Ah, Sweet! Plenty of silver!

    I love that Austrian 30-kreuzer type. Found one in a bulk lot once. Lower grade and cleaned, but so what. For the money (i.e., practically nothing), it put a smile on my face.

    @H8_modern gives nice giveaway loot! Wow!

    Now I'm interested to see what I got! It's time for the revelation!

    Preparing to open package... stand by...

    OK... here we go!

    What have we here?

    Ta-dahh!!!

    Oh wow, @H8_modern! You really shouldn't have!

    170521b.png

    LOL ;)

    OK, just kidding. That was the other package. (The $2300 one that USPS delivered to the wrong address, thereby causing me an ulcer.)

    That coin was already mine (and my most valuable, by a wide margin). It was going to be traded off, but the swap fell through, so now it is back safely (no thanks to the USPS, who did their level best to lose it).




    So now, without further ado... the real H8_modern giveaway loot ...

    Oh wow, @H8_modern! You really shouldn't have! (For real, this time).

    Awesome goodies!
    Sorry- crappy cellphone pix follow:

    The Greek coin is quite handsome:

    I'm particularly stoked about the Lundy puffin. Not only is it a nice example, but in forty years of collecting, I've not had one of these until now.

    So HUGE THANKS @H8_modern .

    I shall have to do another giveaway of my own soon, but since I'm still playing catchup on my overdue shipping obligations on the last one (from my Treasure Hunting game), I'll wait a bit.

    @lordmarcovan - How wonderful! Wow! That certainly was incredibly generous of @H8_modern. Congratulations, again! I was so excited merely looking at the coins you got and imagining how you felt receiving and going through the package! I actually know a couple from Essequibo (a group of Islands that supposedly belongs to British Guyana but which Venezuela claims belongs to it). Enjoy!

    You seem to have the luck of the Irish, @NLL.

    And you've still got some loot comin' from my old "Epic Treasure Hunting Game" giveaways! (Watch- now you'll luck out again and get the 1838-O dime in your random envelope! Haha)

    I now have all but two of the other addresses I've been waiting for, so I should be able to get those envelopes in the mail by the end of the month.

    I do seem to find myself to be lucky:). This picture is from last May. I was walking in the hallway at my school and there it was! Message_1463759732748.jpg
    I found another in October laying in the halls at my school. Plus I found this last week! 20170519_160321.jpg
    I guess some people really don't care about money. And yes you are right. My fingers are crossed I get that dime because lord knows I can't afford it!

    I received my prize a couple of days ago, right on time for Fathers Day (which is a different day in every country lol). I have received 3 US coins, a 1987 Silver Eagle with nice rim toning, a 1938 Buffalo Nickel (I love those) and a Washington/Carver commem. On top of that I found a coin from Venezuela and an 1842 half cent from Montreal/Canada.

    This is certainly the most interesting piece, it says "bank token" and must have been some sort of locally issued hard time token. It seems there was a shortage of pennies at this time, and that's why a number of banks were given authority to issue penny and halfpenny tokens. See:
    https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces10125.html

    So I'll keep one coin in my collection, give one to each kid to spark their interest in Numismatics (well, the baby will have to wait a bit...) and send one to a friend who's collecting world coins. Sorry, I can't post pictures due to an issue with Tapatalk.

    Big thank you to H8_modern, CT is more fun with people like you.
