Trick or Treat!!! (giveaway) WINNERS ANNOUNCED!!!!

Billet7Billet7 Posts: 4,923 ✭✭✭
First prize winner is......Tahoe98. Second prize winner......blue62vette. Congrats on winning, and thanks everyone for participating!!!





HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!! I'm doing 2 giveaways! The forum has been good to me, and I would like to show my appreciation by offering this giveaway! All you have to do is reply to this thread and tell me what you are going to be for halloween (post pics if you like)...or what you would be if you weren't glued to the PCGS forum. image I will pick 2 winners using a random number generator. Winner numer one gets the archive, number two gets the peace dollar. You have until Sunday, November 7th at Midnight to respond.

Giveaway #1: I had this listed on the BST for a while, and it didn't sell for what I wanted to sell it for, so instead of giving it away for some really low price, I thought I would just give it away!

Park City Silver Mining Archive. I don't have room in my office for all my stuff, so I am clearing out this archive. It contains a Park City Stock Certificate, a bunch of silver coins (Morgan, Walker, Franklin, Merc and Roosie) that are well matched, and an original sketch by yours truly (pen and ink and gouache.) The frame is very high quality, handmade, by a local company. I removed the glass to photograph it, but will ship it with Plexyglass (to avoid breakage.)

Giveaway #2: 1926 Peace Dollar, Probably UNC according to details. Nice toning, which means it's been cleaned (these didn't tone naturally like this.) Doesn't seem to be too hairlined IMHO, the pics look worse than the coin does in hand... a VERY pleasing piece for those going for looks!!!

    I live in a rather rural area so giving out candy usually amounts to me giving my mouth a treat (much to my butt's dismay) during every TV Commercial.
    I do need to save two pieces for the neighbor kids though since they just might show up this year!
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Thanks for the opportunity. Instead of giving out candy this year, I am doing something different. I normally get 20 to 50 trick or treaters. I am giving each one a circulated Eisenhower Silver Dollar. I figure it might generate coin collecting interest in some of the children. It also will surely initiate discussion at home with the parents. Good luck to everyone in the thread.

    A fun give away.

    I will be Scooby Doo. My wife, son and I went to the Mall of America last year with my brother in law, sister in law and nephew for halloween. I was Scooby Doo last year as well and had a great time with tons of little kids coming up for hugs. I took lots of pictures with kids. Several people asked if the mall has hired me to walk around...LOL.

    I will be going as a Zombie Killer. Private poker party and I don't think I'll be in costume long. STI .45 ACP race gun on a SafariLand thigh rig and my custom AR10 slung up. Walk in the door and scare a few people (really) then change to something more poker friendly.

    With the proliferation of Zombie movies . . . I'll fit right in . .

    I conduct a "Spooky Music" concert with my community ensemble this evening, coming out after intermission as a vampire-meets-KISS-meets-bad a$$ conductor in tails for the second half of the program. It's a great time of year.
