I'm a member of the Glendale, CA Coin Club which is having it's annual coin show in Van Nuys, CA on October 23, 2011 at the Van Nuys Masonic Hall.
At the show, a Gold & Silver Coin Drawing will be held at 3pm. The club purchases the gold and silver coins during the year and raffles them off to raise funds for the club. Of course, the gold and silver coins are a significant expense so we must sell a bunch of tickets just to break even, let alone get into the black.
Several cool coins will be given away including the following:
$2.5 U.S. Gold Liberty
$1 U.S. Gold
Hungary 10 Korona Gold
France 10 Francs Gold
Bahamas $10 Silver
China 10 Yuan Panda
Canada $10 Maple Leaf
In order to have a chance to win one or more of the above coins, you must buy tickets!! I'm posting them for sale here because you do NOT need to be in attendance to win the coins!!! Tickets are only $2 each or six tickets for $10. Just think of how cool it will be to tell your friends you bought a gold coin for only $2!!!
Let me know if you'd like some tickets and I'll fill them out and make sure they get into the drawing. I'll also fill out the ticket stubs and mail them to you (at no charge) for your records. I'm making nothing in selling these, just trying to help out one of my local coin clubs. If this type of post isn't permitted here, just let me know and/or delete it
Thanks!
10/10/2011 update - I am very thankful to all of you who have purchased tickets to help out the club. Thank you again and I wish you the best of luck in the club drawing!
To show my appreciation, and because I want to make sure at least one forum member wins something in connection with this raffle, but can't guarantee any outcome of the club drawing, I decided that I will hold my own independent drawing for a three-coin 1976-S Bicentennial 40% Silver Proof Set (total silver weight of over 1/2 an ounce).
The set will be given away to a lucky forum member who purchased raffle tickets through me. Again, this is completely separate from the club raffle and I will select the winner of this special forum member only prize by a separate random draw. You'll get one chance in my draw for each coin club raffle ticket purchased. Thanks again!
And here's what one of the tickets look like for those interested. Thanks again!

Just got back from the show today and am pleased to announce that it went very well. I haven't heard the final numbers, but I believe that enough raffle tickets were sold to cover the cost of the prize coins and to have some left over to help with club activities for the next year. The help provided by over dozen different forum members by purchasing raffle tickets was greatly appreciated.
There were seven coins raffled off, 3 silver and 4 gold. After the first 6 coins were raffled off w/o a forum member winning, I was starting to get a little disappointed. Then came the draw for the final prize, the big one, the 1853 $2.5 Liberty gold coin... and the winner was.... forum member bgman!!!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!!!!
I also promised a smaller prize that would be available exclusively to the forum members who entered the raffle and the winner of the three-coin 1976-S Bicentennial 40% Silver Proof Set is.... timrutnat!!! Congrats to you too!!!!
Thanks again everyone for helping out the club!
