While there is no way to ensure that the contest winner will not resell the set, you could consider the following procedure: (1) Suppose you select the winner on Dec. 25, 2011. The winner sends $400 to you, plus another $[300] that you will hold in escrow. In early January, you mail the 3 common coins to the winner. You hold back the reverse proof and the S-bullion. (2) In Dec 2012, you ask the winner to take a picture of the 3 coins placed on a piece of paper with a text that you will specify in Dec 2012. (3) The winner sends you a picture of the 3 coins placed on a piece of paper with your specified text, proving that he/she still has the coins. (4) You send the reverse proof to the winner. The winner sends you $10 to cover the shipping cost. (5) In Dec 2013, you ask the winner to take a picture of the 4 coins placed on a piece of paper with a text that you will specify in Dec 2013. (6) The winner sends you a picture of the 4 coins placed on a piece of paper with your specified text, proving that he/she still has the coins. (7) You send the final coin (S-bullion) to the winner. The winner sends you $10 to cover the shipping cost. (8) In Dec 2014, you ask the winner to take a picture of the 5 coins placed on a piece of paper with a text that you will specify in Dec 2014. (9) The winner sends you a picture of the 5 coins placed on a piece of paper with your specified text, proving that he/she still has the coins. You will return to the winner the $300 that you held in escrow. Steps 8 and 9 could be stretched out to 2015, 2016, 2017, etc. if you want to ensure that the winner is keeping the coins at least until 2015, 2016, 2017, etc., respectively.[/QUOTE]
