Entry post:
Cool prizes, I'll give this month a go. Thanks to all donors past, present, and future. This is an original print from a steel engraving done in the late 1800's. It depicts Roger Williams greeting the Narragansett Native Americans, who he became a great friend to, and advocate of. View attachment 809030 Im getting it framed and matted for my Wife for her bday. (Williams is a relation of hers).
And here is a coin featuring the famous meeting. This amazing Commemorative Half Dollar was a gift from @green18, totally blew my mind when I opened it last Christmas. View attachment 809031

LordM, H8_modern, Kasia, & Nas giveaway, July 2018

Deadline for entries: midnight Eastern US time, Friday, August 31, 2018.

View attachment 808893

Hi, everybody, and welcome to the latest monthly giveaway!

To enter, here's what you'll need to do:

1. Please include the words "entry post" in your initial post to this thread. This enables me to sort out the eligible posts from the secondary commentary posts later, when the drawings are held. You may reply to this thread as many times as you like, but each member gets only one eligible entry post per month. If you put the phrase "entry post" into more than one reply, you will disqualify yourself for the month.
2. In addition to the words "entry post", post something else that's fun, creative, amusing, or interesting. Anything you like. However, please note that your post must include something coin-related, though we do welcome general chitchat and pet pictures and whatever else. Just find some kind of numismatic tie-in for your post, is all.
3. If your lucky number (the permalink number of your entry post) comes up in the drawing at the end of the month, you've won a prize. Drawings are done with the random.org True Random Number Generator.
4. To see how this works and has played out before, look at some of the past monthly giveaways (I've put an archive of those in Post #2).
5. I will gladly ship prizes outside the USA (or reimburse donor partners for doing so), but if international shipping proves to be cost-prohibitive, I do reserve the right to substitute prizes (such as with an electronic PayPal gift, etc).
6. If you are a minor, I'm delighted to have you play, but please make sure you have your parents' permission to enter this giveaway, since if you win, I will be required to ask for your mailing address, obviously.

This month there are (4) prize lots, so four winners will be drawn.

Since some of the lots this month have multiple pictures, I will put each in its own separate post below. Scroll down to see the prizes in Posts #3-6.

Good luck to all contestants, and many thanks to my donor partners, past and present.

ENTRY POST

Found this 1893 Indian head in my mother's jewelry. To bad I don't have a complete coin, but I will enjoy wearing this.

MontCollector · Aug 31, 2018

Last chance to enter.

Good luck to all who entered.

NLL · Sep 1, 2018

Entry post. Edited to add I guess I was to late.

lordmarcovan · Sep 1, 2018

Howdy, y'all.

Greetings, and welcome to September.

As some of you have noticed, I have been on a longish hiatus and away from the forums and numismatic life for the last few weeks. My life has been a bit of a whirlwind, but hopefully the dust will be settling soon. My family and I should be moving into our new home today, for one thing.

So sorry for the slow response to PMs and for being absent.

I'm going to dash off a quickie drawing here (no screenshots and such), just so we can wrap up this August giveaway.

So without OK, with some further ado, here we go:

The winning numbers are:

#22- @Dougmeister! 1st choice of the prizes in the original post.

#32- @Ryro! 2nd choice of the prizes in the original post.
(Honorable mention for an amusing post, as well- I liked the "Apollo" pun.)

#78- @Kevin Dore! 3rd choice of the prizes in the original post.

#64- @Wal888! Whatever's left.

If y'all would be so kind as to sort out who gets what, according to the order of precedence above, I'd appreciate it. Then once the prize selections are complete, send a message to the person who donated your prize. One of you will of course be getting the prize that I put up.

Now I'm going to disappear again for a little while. But I'll be back before too long. Sorry I've been so scarce.

@H8_modern, @Kasia, and @Nas - thank you for partnering this month. If y'all wouldn't mind overseeing the final prize allotments, I'd appreciate it.

There are no firm plans for the September giveaway yet. There should be one later, but it might be a pretty basic, solo, single-lot endeavor on my part, for simplicity's sake. This despite the fact that many people have come forward to offer goodies for future giveaways, and some have in fact shipped stuff to me (thank you, @spirityoda).

We'll have to do a nice big one with lots of donors and prizes after I get back into the swing of things. Maybe in October. We'll see.

Good to see you back & hope everything goes smoothly with the move.
I have refrained from spamming your inbox but do await your PM when things ease a little, just let me know when you are ready.

Actually, that's likely worth about the same as a piece of coin jewelry as it would be if it were an intact, average circulated 1893 Indian cent. It's a neat piece. My mother has a cutout Chinese dollar in her jewelry box. It's cut out around the sailing junk design. I used to admire it as a kid. This year I bought an intact coin of the same type for my collection.
