I am gifting a London Mint Tetrarchic coin

There haven't been any postings to this thread for a while and it seemed pointless to wait until the 25th of this month to draw the winning name. So I drew the name out of a hat this morning, and the winner is @Johndakerftw! I know she lives in Canada, but @Alegandron @Bing @GerardV ...... maybe others (I apologize for any omissions) have offered to re-mail the coin to her (or any winner who does not have a US address) if I send it them. I think that is an admirable gesture -- symbolic of the spirit of community generosity that exists here. I am sure we can work this out for @Johndakerftw via PM. This gifting has been, and continues to be, a learning process for me. Following is an outline of the procedure I intend to follow in the future:

------------------------------------------------

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.

Congrats to @Johndakerftw!

 

A very worthy recipient! I know she and her brother are passionate collectors and learners.

Way to go James.

 

If the two of you agree, I will be more than happy to post it for ya'll. BTW, congratulations to @Johndakerftw, a worthy recipient.

 

Thank you very much for your usual generosity Bing. @Alegandron has already offered to act on this and I have sent coordinating PM's to both of them.

 

Any time my coin friend.

 

Congrats ^_^ @Johndakerftw and thanks @jamesicus

 

Wow! Thank you so much, James! I am truly honoured! My brother and I will give Maximian a good home!

I've learned a lot from your posts and look forward to reading them!

Also, thank you to Bing and Alegandron for offering to ship the coin to me!

Y'all pwn. Never change!
