    Hi folks,
    I got a wheresgeorge dollar bill in change. Nuttin special, just a common Series 2003A. Now I don't just want to go spend it anywhere.
    The last one I got never got any hits and vanished after being spent.
    I'd like to give it away to someone who will register it on the website and be careful as to who it goes to next. So this is a contest with the bill going to the first member who correctly identifies my avatar.
    The contest will run until someone wins, or comes close. If nobody wins in one week's time, I'll start to give hints. Thanks for looking.

    Its half of a 'magic coin' set. Changes from a regular Half Dollar to a gold coin right in front of their eyes!

    I don't know if four guesses at a time is fair? I know I did not stipulate one guess per post, but...
    If you had to pick one and only one of your above 4 trys which would you select?

    Wow that's impressive. I got a couple before I knew what they were and just spent them.
    Then there was an article in the newspaper and I learned what they were. Then I got one and gave it to my girlfriend who registered and spent it. Never heard anything more.
    Now this one (the giveaway prize). It first came from Rhode Island and took 99 days to get to me.

    I can't say too much without taking the fun out of it but the above is not correct. Well I don't quite know what to do now. I guess there should be a limit of one try per post from now on though.
    You can post as many times as you want but only one guess per post.
    There may be the addition of a contingency prize too. I hate making up new rules in the middle of a contest.

    Ok this is the first day. I wasn't giving any hints until a week has past with no winners.
    If you read my answer to Twiggs again you will see that I did not want any details.

    ha! i just refreshed my report just now and got 2 more hits today! now i'm up to 19! seriously, if you guys haven't tried this out, try it! you can hand write, but buying a stamp is much easier.

    When I looked at the website store they said the stamp is no longer for sale. Probably some flack about defacing currency?

    It is obviously not a rel Kennedy half. Could it be a counterfit (Chinese?) Kennedy half?

    I think Twiggs was right when he said : "Kennedy Half Dollar 24kt Gold-Plated from Morgan mint?"

    I vote that it is a regular kennedy...the light is hitting it just right to give it that look IMO.

    WINNER!
    Yes. We have a winner. It is a gold foil covered chocolate. If you compare it to a real Kennedy reverse you will see it can't be a plated half dollar. There are too many differences:
    The number and placing of the stars are wrong.
    The tail feathers do not have those 2 extensions on a real half dollar.

    Twiggs, please PM your mailing address and your US dollar bill will be mailed to you.
    Please enter it on the wheresgeorge website.

    Thanks everyone for your participation.

    Right it can't be a real coin. There are too many differences in the reverse.
