<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3197335, member: 19463"]I can. In the past, I have given coins to people for whom they were a bad fit. I know some were expecting mint state rarities and found my coins beneath them. Coin Talk rules do not allow the kind of contest where the winner has to pass a vetting process like they do if you want to adopt a puppy. Does anyone remember a gift coin showing up on eBay a week or so later? That tends to limit the desire to gift more to random winners. I wish there were a way we could identify people who would like the coin as separate from those who did not read past 'free'.</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing that would help would be for anyone who might be interested in receiving such gifts would fill out the profile details on Coin Talk completely enough that we would know if we are sending coins internationally (more than one of us have problems with this) or to someone which will need a parental permission. I'm not suggesting that you should share your address etc. with the world but knowing you are 18 and from Florida would get more free coins than 15 and one of those countries like Turkey that will not allow private ownership of coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
