I'm in for the 1864 US 2 cent. It's the year that I graduated high school and I have other US coins 100 years from that date, but not the 2 cents. Thanks again for your giveaways.

"It" being 1964, I presume.

Thanks for the chance on this sweltering Saturday. I chose the 24 Peace dollar because as a kid in Brooklyn, I could walk in a bank with a hand full of change and get a Peace dollar. That's something. Have a good day. Peace Roy
Who doesn't love a giveaway, and it's fun reading the choices and reasonings. I really like the United States: 1864 bronze 2-cent piece. I recently bought one and it sure would be nice to have two twos too to compare them!!! (Can't believe I strung four twos together in a sentence!)
Where have I been. Must have overlooked this post giveaway.
I guess I've been staying busy. Not that that's a bad thing
Bolivia (Spanish Colonial, Potosí): silver 1-real, "cob" looks like it has some honest wear...must have some secrets?
They are all fine looking specimens, very generous of you. I would likely choose the United States: 1873 silver Seated Liberty quarter, arrows at date, Open 3 variety (ANACS G4). It would fill a hole in my homemade typeset binder which has mostly been filled with finds from circulation(CRH) or metal detecting. I enjoyed just looking at the photos on the link.
Welcome to July, everyone. I have done the random drawing. Here's how I did it. I numbered all the replies to this thread (there were 68), and used a random number generator to select one.

The Gordian III coin catches my eye. I'm always amazed by very old things that manage to survive and still be in good condition. I wouldn't be surprised if coins circulating at the time of this coin's minting were in worse condition.
@MWK- if the Gordian III antoninianus is your final selection, it is yours. Be aware that I did add some new prizes to the Giveaway Gallery over the month, however, so have one last look before you make your final choice, and let me know. I shall message you shortly.
Two more things-
One, please be sure to post to this thread later, once you have received the prize, just so we'll know you got it.
Two, please be aware that we are experiencing postal problems with outgoing mail in Georgia. One of our senators is grilling the Postmaster General about it. I have had had outgoing domestic packages take as long as three and a half weeks to reach their destination in recent months. But the stuff does eventually get there. Hopefully our USPS problems have improved, and it won't take as long for your prize to reach you.

1896 Morgan dollar. Like the look of the coin. Thank you for the opportunity.

I'd pick the Roman Provincial because it's such a neat history piece and I've dreamed of owning something like that.
Thank you for the chance!
Thank you!
I think I’d pick the “Hungary: 1550-KB silver denar of Ferdinand I”. Because I don’t have any coins from that era, and have ancestors from Hungary.
Count me in! I'm looking at that 1838 Large Cent... perfect for the album! Thanks for the chance...

Thanks for the chance - the 1919 Canada large cent - I have an interest in that time of history and I really like the George V depiction.
The 43 in the older NGC holder speaks to me. Thanks Rob!
