<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 2858027, member: 14873&quot;]There haven&#039;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 [USER=76543]@Johndakerftw[/USER]! I know she lives in Canada, but [USER=51347]@Alegandron[/USER] [USER=44132]@Bing[/USER] [USER=76329]@GerardV[/USER] ...... 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 [USER=76543]@Johndakerftw[/USER] 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:</p><p><br /></p><p>------------------------------------------------</p><p><br /></p><p>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&#039;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.</p><p><br /></p><p>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.</p><p><br /></p><p>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.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
