Hi, everybody, and welcome to the latest monthly giveaway!

This month there are four prize lots given by three donors.

Like last month, each winner will get to choose the prize he or she wants, in the order of their winning. (First winner drawn gets first pick, second winner drawn gets second pick, and so on.)

In other words, there will be four drawings and each contestant will have four chances to win something!

My donor partners this month are:

@Santinidollar
@Nas

So many thanks to them for their generosity!

To enter:

1. Please include the words "entry post" in your initial post to this thread - and only your first post. You may reply to this thread as many times as you like, but if you put the phrase "entry post" into more than one reply, you will disqualify yourself.

2. In addition to the words "entry post", post something else that is coin-related in some way- whatever you like. This can anything- as creative, funny, interesting, or inquisitive as you choose to make it- but coin-related somehow.

3. To expedite the prize allotments after the drawings at the end of the month, please specify your prize choice, in order of preference. (List your first favorite choice, second favorite, etc., in order.) The first winner drawn will get his or her first pick, and then the next winner will get his or her first pick from the remaining prizes, and so on.

• If your lucky number (the permalink number of your entry post) comes up in the drawing at the end of the month, you've won a prize. Drawings are done with the random.org True Random Number Generator.
• To see how this works and has played out before, look at some of the past monthly giveaways (I'll put an archive of those in Post #2).
• I will gladly ship prizes outside the USA (or reimburse donor partners for doing so), but if international shipping proves too costly, I do reserve the right to substitute prizes (such as with an electronic PayPal gift, etc).
• If you are a minor, we're delighted to have you play, but please make sure you have your parents' permission to enter this giveaway, since if you win, we will be required to ask for your mailing address.

(There were a few others, but these were the ones that kind of settled into a regular monthly pattern.)

 

Oh, snap! Now that's cool! Modern repousse work, I would imagine? Has a 21st century appearance to it.

 

Neat. I knew about this stuff, but that thread has more varieties than I've seen. (It's by the Penny Lady, so that figures.) Maybe your Walker half eagle there could be vintage work? Dunno. It just has a modern patriotic, post-9/11 kind of look to it, if you know what I mean.

 

That's a great-looking one! It's a CircCam, y'know.

PS- I can't recall seeing a 320. Cool. I've had the 20 and 40 in copper (counterstamped and otherwise), and a big silver 960 or two, but can't remember any other denominations I might have had.

 

Get a folder or album and start pluggin' those in!

 

Well, you've got @dwhiz to thank for last month's loot. Hope you have fun with it.

 

I can see why that was a "must have".

My winged horsie is just a teensy bit older.

That modern gilt example is pretty stunning, though. Love the way it's flying out of the clouds.

 

Neat. First I've heard of that. I don't keep up with moderns very well.

 

While they aren't cheap, they're not always frightfully expensive, either.
