Weekend feelgood giveaway----> winner!

SYRACUSIAN · June 15, 2006 11:38AM

Isn't the Darkside great? Only 2 weeks ago, I had decided that the numismatic season was over for me, no more buying or selling until next fall. But ever since Don posted this coin I have been looking at it non stop .Although I do not collect Canadian coins, I have decided that I had to have it,and I almost twisted Don's arm to get it.

I have bought various Canadian coins during the past two years, from 1935 dollars to large and small cents, but the only real keeper so far was a 1936 Pittman ICCS MS63 red cent. This one is a keeper too,besides the nice colours, I also like its cool nickname.

This wasn't the only purchase of the week, I also bought a 1927 PF64 wreath crown, that was the last coin needed for my 1901-70 British type set. To celebrate these additions to my various world impulse purchases, I will offer another Canadian coin, a duplicate (!), 1939 full red cent ,CCCS MS62 red. Just post to enter and I will draw a winner on Monday morning. Again thanks to ajaan for selling me this coin, it really made my day.

Very nice coin. If you really want to start getting into Canadian Coins look at the Large cents they are very nice in hand.

Congratulations on a great coin and on completeing a set.

ps I pass on the giveaway as I don't collect that area

IlikeZARcoins · June 15, 2006 4:40PM

I thought only people like Don collected Canadians.

Since it won't fit into my collection I will pass but nice purchase Dimitri.

Nice coin but I don't deserve it.

TwoKopeiki · June 16, 2006 12:26AM

That's a beautiful coin, too bad it's Canadian

Although I guess it could be worse .... it could be <GASP> .... Newfoundland! It's shaping up to be a great weekend here in Toronto. Would be nice to win a coin Monday, too

Please add me to the giveaway!

Many thanks for the giveaway, please enter me.

And congrats on picking up the 1927 crown, I seem to recall you have been after that for a while. I got mine some time ago but your PF64 sounds much nicer than mine, got pics?

Very good! Count me in, please!

SYRACUSIAN · June 17, 2006 9:58PM

Guys, thanks for inviting me to collect Canadian, but there is a variety of reasons why I won't do this. As strange as it sounds, my collection of Greek (and territories) coins is still my prime priority ,I just don't like the crowd and the atmosphere that prevails there lately, I much prefer to hang out here.

TTT for Sunday, tomorrow we have a winner!

wybrit · June 17, 2006 10:00PM

Congrats on adding that elusive crown to your set!

Will the maundys be next?

farthing · June 18, 2006 7:02AM

Thanks for the chance.

SYRACUSIAN · June 18, 2006 9:55PM

The winner is ...stork! But as she decided to not take part in it, I'll leave the choice of a new winner to her, or she can change her mind and keep the prize too if she prefers. Thanks for the participation.

SYRACUSIAN · June 18, 2006 10:04PM

And thanks for the comments on the completion of the 1902-70 British type set. I received the crown today ,it's a beautiful coin, I'll post images as soon as I can.

Stork · June 19, 2006 8:43AM

Oh the pressure of it all! By the usual method of asking my kids, they went with Grandpop's name and Robert(B) is the winner

. (I really thought they would go for one of the horsie set). Congrats to Robert!
