Lucky 500 Giveaway!!!! Winners in the first post!!!

It seems to be giveaway season here, so I'll join the fray!!!

I just got my purple star on the bay of e (500 positive feedback rating - with a total of almost 1000 positives and no negs image), so in honor of that, I am going to give away 3 coins - an uncirculated South African copper, an uncirculated Jersey copper and one of my purple South African proofs from 1955. I am at work now, so I can't post a picture, but after I get home tonight I will get images of the three coins and post them here.

All you have to do is post to enter - I will leave the thread open until Sunday night and randomly draw a winner at that time!

As promised - here are the pictures:

The red South Africa copper:

The Jersey - I changed my mind and went for this toned 1 pound coin - gold and red in the middle and a bright green ring on the outside):

And last but not least - the purple SA copper proof:

I will close the thread to entries at 6pm CST on Sunday. Then I will draw 3 winners from the list and gice the coins in the order that they are shown above. Good luck to all who enter!!!!


Sorry I'm a little late here - I took all of the names and put them in a hat and let my better half choose the following three names:

The Red copper goes to -> Phut
The toned Jersey goes to -> MSD61
The purple proof goes to -> Cosmic

Thanks to all who entered and congrats to the winners!!! Please PM me your addresses and I will get the coins out this week!

    I had a "purple" giveaway theme, back when I got my Purple Star on eBay. Gave away a pretty little amethyst. I think cosmicdebris won that one.

    Congrats on the milestone!
