Another Coin give away thread-Winner announced

I am giving away the following coin. It is an extremely rare didrachm of Trajan. I would like a good home for it. Please do not enter if you have won a coin giveaway in the last 30 days. I am also adding another stipulation. If you are hoping to win this coin so you can sell it I would rather you not enter. I cannot stop you from doing so but I hope my wishes can be respected in this regard. I want this coin to go to someone who actually wants it. I will draw a random winner tomorrow at 7pm. I am limiting this giveaway to North America for shipping cost reasons.

Enter me. Thank you.

No worries, I've never sold a Roman coin...except for a Antoninus Pius once as a charity auction to raise money for Doctors without Borders.

Definitely would never sell this beauty.

 

I am always impressed by the generosity of the ancients forum. I'll enter as well, thanks @Orfew!

 

Wow @Orfew that is an amazing give away! Please enter me.

If I win I will not only swear to never sell the coin but will also pledge to give the coin a full research essay/article and to have an ancient coin giveaway in the near future in your honor!

Thanks again for the spectacular generosity!

 

Very generous of you @Orfew. I'm in too.. thank you.

Thanks Orfew. I'd love to enter your most generous giveaway.

 

Don't enter me either (surpisingly I'm not in north America), but it's a nice gesture on your part. I'm green with envy towards the one who will get it
