I recently won Ed Sims' contest and received a beautiful silver coin, and since I am nearing my 1000th post here, I thought I'd open my own contest, and give something back to the community. The prize is a small world silver coin 90 percent or better. How does it work? All you have to do is to post a picture of a modern world coin (non US, 16th century - 21st century); the coin must be yours, you can not use pictures you find online. Who wins? -each member posting a picture gets a chance to win (one entry) -whoever gets most likes from the fellow cointalkers gets one more entry -whoever gets my vote gets one more entry I will then place all entries in a bowl and pick the lucky winner. Contest ends last day of August or the moment I reach 1,000 posts, whichever comes first. Good luck!
Here is my entry. I love it. This thing is a beast: weight-39g, diameter-35mm, silver-0.925 Thanks for the contest!
Thanks again! Although I'm not sure it was a smart deal on my part. Ever since I received this coin I find it to be lonely and in need of more toned friends to hang out with......
