<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LaCointessa, post: 2855043, member: 87186&quot;]Hi CT folks!</p><p><br /></p><p>This is my first give-away. It&#039;s not to celebrate any anniversary here or anything like that. I&#039;m doing it just because I have been the recipient of plenty of cool loot for no reason at all by many extremely generous CT members. I also appreciate the support and encouragement I get here on Ct as I learn about coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>In an effort to give back to the CT community, (even though my collection is preliminary, basic and super modest), I want to do this little give-away. I hope it will be fun.</p><p><br /></p><p>While I think bank roll searchers - especially searchers of cent rolls - will be most interested in this give-away, anyone is welcome to participate, especially those who would like to get youngsters involved by presenting them with a set of coins like these upon which they can continue to grow a collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want your name to go into the &#039;hat&#039; please post something that indicates your interest. When you post, if you have a moment, it would be helpful to know what part of the give-away interests you most and why so I know for the next time I am putting together a give-away. The cut off time for registering your interest is September 30 at midnight; and, I&#039;ll draw and announce the name of the winner on October 1st in the morning.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Here is what is included so far:</b></p><p><b><u><br /></u></b></p><p><b><u>U</u></b><u><b>S COINS - Cents</b></u></p><ul> <li>10 &#039;unsearched&#039; Loomis cent rolls - I purchased a few boxes of these rolls believing the seller that they were unsearched. But, I don&#039;t know, you know? These rolls are in the condition in which I received them. And the boxes of 50 rolls came sealed - supposedly sealed by the Federal Reserve Bank. Well, one thing I really like about the rolls is that I found lots of &quot;s&quot; mint cents in them. I hope you will also find them. These are not rolls of wheat cents but you may find wheaties in there. Who knows? Maybe you&#039;ll find something good in there.</li> </ul><ul> <li>&quot;s&quot; mint cents - 25 &#039;s&#039; mint cents of various years from 1920s through 1970s.</li> </ul><p> <ul> <li>Wheat cents -<ul> <li>1930 - 1939 - All the years are not included because I did not have all years; There are a few holes but most are included.*</li> <li>1930d - 1939d - All the years are not included but most are.</li> <li>1940 - 1949 - All years included</li> <li>1940d - 1949d - All years included</li> <li>1950 - 1959 - All years not included because of production issues in some years but most are included.</li> <li>1950d - 1959d - All years not included but most are.</li> <li>1960 - 1969 - All years included</li> <li>1960d - 1969d - All years included</li> <li>1970 - 1979 - All years included</li> <li>1970d - 1979d - All years included</li> </ul></li> </ul><p> <ul> <li>Indian Head - One <span style="color: #ff0000">1906 (edited, post originally said 1909 but I don&#039;t have a 1909! Sorry). </span>Indian Head Cent.</li> </ul><p> <ul> <li>2017p mint Cents - Some will be included but I&#039;m not sure how many it will be. It won&#039;t be a roll. I know I don&#039;t have that many.*</li> </ul><p> <ul> <li>2009 cents with special Lincoln reverses - Set of four different ones - These are not mint condition - I found them roll hunting and these are the best ones that I found so far.</li> <li>Extra &#039;steel&#039; cents - a couple of the better ones I have found</li> <li>One 1963 silver dime.</li> </ul><p><b><u>WORLD COINS</u></b></p><p><br /></p><blockquote> <ul> <li>Britain</li> </ul> <blockquote><p> <ul> <li>1/2 New Penny - 1971</li> </ul></blockquote></blockquote><p> <ul> <li>Canada<ul> <li>1 cent - 50 year anniversary of Statehood 1967-1992</li> <li>1 cent - 1953</li> <li>1 cent - 1964</li> <li>1 cent - 1976</li> <li>1 cent - 1980</li> <li>1 cent - 1981</li> </ul></li> <li>Egypt<ul> <li>25 Piasters coin</li> </ul></li> <li>Guyana<ul> <li>5 Cents coin - 1990</li> </ul></li> <li>South Africa -<ul> <li>1 Rand - 1994</li> <li>2 Rand - 1991</li> </ul></li> <li>Tanzania<ul> <li>50 Senti coin - 1990</li> </ul></li> <li>Uruguay<ul> <li>$1 Nuevo Peso Coin - 1980</li> </ul></li> <li>Yugoslavia<ul> <li>1 Dinar - 1984</li> </ul></li> </ul><p><b><u>ANCIENT COIN</u></b></p><p><br /></p><p>At least one ancient coin (maybe more) will be included. Ancient coins are just incredible and if you never held something that has existed for 2,000 years in your hand, you really should. I love them.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><u>FLIPS </u></b></p><p>Some cardboard flips in various sizes will be included. I don&#039;t know how much more I can stuff into the priority flat rate envelope I&#039;ll use; but if there is room for more stuff, I&#039;ll see what I can cram in there.</p><p><br /></p><p>*As I continue to put the give-away together, I will be able to define more particulars, such as the number of 2017p cents. I have not reviewed all my wheat cents and may be able to fill out some of the holes in the 1930 series. Also, I may include some 1920 cents. I will try to edit the post when I have that information.</p><p><br /></p><p>ALSO - Let&#039;s make this a giveaway for those in USA and CANADA so I won&#039;t have to declare bankruptcy due to shipping costs. I&#039;m not even sure whether shipping to Canada presents customs issues. We&#039;ll see about that. Would be great if those in Canada had address in US for shipping purposes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
