Put me down for the Antoninus Pius denarius. I have several Roman Republic Denarii but nothing from the Imperial period and I would like to rectify that at some point, if I ever finish my 7070.

 

Entry post!
I’d choose the 1873 seated quarter. I only have 1 example in my collection and it looks like it lost a fight with a wood chipper!!!

 

Let’s give @Abramthegreat another chance with this post!

If I were to enter this one, I think I’d choose the same coin though I’d rather have a shipwrecked piece if I was going to get old Spanish silver.

 

Why thank you @BuffaloHunter, that's very generous of you!

 

So So Nice!!

 

Entry post #47 was my original post, but I didn't say why I wanted the morgan. I like it because I want to give a morgan to my grandchild. Regards.

 

@lordmarcovan I am just letting you know that the Septimius Severus and an unexpected elongated rolled over a buffalo nickel host coin, safely arrived this morning. almost an additional Saturnalia gift. Many thanks.
PS, the mailing envelope, just completely covered in postage stamps is brilliant.
As the thread for giveaway #118 is closed for replies, this is the most apt place to acknowledge the arrival.

 

Entry. I like the 2021 silver eagle. I have a couple of the older designs but not this one. Thank you

 

Thanks, @lordmarcovan, for yet another wonderful giveaway!

I choose this one: Roman Empire: ca. 318-320 AD bronze Æ17 of Licinius II, camp gate, Heraclea mint

Why? Because it would commemorate a great spring event that I took part in. This April, my wife and I volunteered to help excavate at the Roman Vindolanda Fort, near Hadrian's wall in northern England. It was a great two weeks of work, digging up a 3rd/4th Century Roman Fort, finding walls, roads, pottery, jewelry, and yes, even Roman Coins!!! Unfortunately, they wouldn't let us keep any of the coins we found, so this would be a nice commemorative of the time I spent there. And, this actually looks like one of the coins that were found while we were there (the one I found was too mucked up with mud to identify, and they didn't want us to clean them)!

Thanks again!

 

Entry post for the Antoninus Pius silver denarius. The five good emperors have always been a favorite of mine to collect, and the one up for givy is in much better condition than the one I currently have.

 

Roman Empire: ca. 318-320 AD bronze Æ17 of Licinius II, camp gate, Heraclea mint


I collect Campgate coins from Licinius II. This coin from the Giveway would enhance my collection of campgate Follis. I like it for being from Heraclia and getting a twin to mine.

Very interesting writeup on metal detecting in England. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

 

I'd like to try for the Venezuela 5 Bolivares (although the Antoninus Pius Denarius and Japanese 100 Mon were tempting).

I've been wanting one for awhile now. I really like the design on both the obverse and the reverse. The example you picked is a very nice example. Thanks for the opportunity to own one!

Japan (Edo Period): ca. 1835-1870 cast bronze 100-mon, Tenpō Tsūhō. I collect a lot of strange and curious currency. A lot of it from South East Asia. This would be welcomed in my collection. I believe it would fit the theme quite well. When Charles Opitz's collection was sold on HA, I acquired some pieces from his collection which were featured in his book. Looking his book over he also collected many of these elongated coins.

Good luck to everyone , thank you very much for the opportunity. And a wonderful New-Year.

 

Passing this opportunity to @expat. Happy New Year
to one and all.
