I am gifting a London Mint Tetrarchic coin

@jamesicus : I would be glad to send it to Erin (@Johndakerftw ) should she win. Should I win, I would still send it to Erin. Thanks, Brian

Thank you, I would to enter. K.D.

 

Ok, I will stay in and find a way to pay it forward if I win.

 

BTW, I am notoriously forgetful to award "likes" to the posts of others on this Forum. Please excuse those omissions -- I am getting increasingly forgetful in my dotage.

Yes, John, it is a thick coin on a generous flan.

 

Unfortunately you are not on the eligibility list (see my original post in this thread) @Krd046 for this coin. However, as I mentioned, I will be offering gift coins of this type in a similar fashion from time to time in the future -- so please keep on participating.

 

Thank you, Bing and Alegandron for offering to send me the coin if I win, I really appreciate it!

Man, this forum gets better and better each day. I don't think there's another like it on the internet.

James, you are a total boss! You're doing great work!

Erin

 

I understand the motivation completely James. Inspiring interest in these pieces of history is a lofty goal imho. Of course, there is another upside, giving makes one feel good.

 

Very generous give away @jamesicus . The coin is a great example as well.

 

Thank you for the offer and a chance to win.

 

Yes, it does make you feel good Orfew, I guess that is another reason I do it.

Awesome coin! Thank you very much @jamesicus ! Since I've already gotten to sweet coins from you, I'd feel bad winning a 3rd (If i'm lucky enough) so I'll pay it forward to @Alegandron if I win.

 

In Flagstaff, we have better bucks to hand out to those in need. They can only buy certain items with it. Do they have anything like that down there?

 

I don't know, Randy. My own giving is a personal thing -- no strings attached.
Actually this thread is beginning to drift in a direction I didn't intend (threads often do) but that is mostly my fault and I apologize for that.

As I mentioned previously, I will be gifting more Tetrarchic coins in the future using somewhat similar criteria and procedures that I am using in this thread except eligibility will be determined by significance of posted contributions to the chosen thread as determined by me. Edit: revised in later posting.

 

Very generous of you @jamesicus. I am considering moving to the States

 

Thank you Randy for that very nice gesture. Also @Bing and @Alegandron for making similar offers of help. It appears that there will be a good bit of heartfelt sharing going on and that is very admirable indeed.

 

@jamesicus thanks for putting me in your generous giveaway, I appreciate it. I'm in Canada though so if I do win I'd like it to go to @Alegandron as well. Thanks again jamesicus!

 

Thank you for your generosity, @Ajax.

 

I will restate my motivation in gifting the coins the way I do: I want to perpetuate interest (especially that of new collectors) in the kind of coins I specialize in researching and collecting -- a way of giving back something to this hobby that has provided me so much joy and contentment for so many years. I don't think I am doing anything particularly noble or meritorious in this. I do hope my gifted coins go to those who are genuinely interested in London Mint Tetrarchic (and closely associated) coinage. However, I offer my gifted coins with no strings attached.

From this point forward I intend to offer gift coins to those individuals who I perceive to have a more than passing interest in London Mint Tetrarchic coins and have made what I consider significant contributions to Tetrarchic coin centered threads I initiate from time to time on the Forum. I will do it by Private Message.

I am no longer able to drive and so I mail everything from my home using United States postage stamps and I do not have any Customs declaration forms. But, I can use the following procedure for those who do not have a US mailing address: If you can find a relative or close friend who resides in the US who would be willing to re-mail the coin to you, I will mail the coin to the name and address you provide.
