(4/19/08 - WINNER ANNOUNCED - JimK has won the medal, and has been sent a PM for address. Thanks to all for participating!)

Hi Everyone:

I recently sold my "niche" chess web domain CORRESPONDENCECHESS.COM after a run of almost
12 years. In honor of that, and recognizing all of the great folks here at the CU Forums, I would
like to have a giveaway.

The rules are simple - post once in this thread. About a week from now, I will use a random generator
to determine the winner. Entries from all over the world are welcome. The winner will receive:

Here is a bit of information about this medal:

CORRESPONDENCECHESS.COM

10 Year Anniversary Medal

Limited, Numbered Edition - Total Mintage: 100 Pieces

Specifications:

1 1/2" bronze metal, multi-colored, 38.1 mm (same size as old USA Silver Dollar), 3 mm thick, about 25 grams in weight, misty silver colored/plated finish. Coins are serially numbered on the reverse. Each delivered coin is housed in a collector-safe (long-term storage safe/non-PVC) plastic 2x2" (50mmx50mm) double safety flip with paper insert containing a description on one side and a signed certificate of authenticity on the other. The image is a stock photo - the medal that you receive may have a different serial number on it.

Credits: Design Concept - John C. Knudsen; Design Art/Coin Die - Rusty Payne.

Thanks for the chance,

Hi William,

The 015 on the reverse is the serial number (piece 15 out of 100). All of the medals have individual
serial numbers. I think I only have about 30 left out of the mintage...

The Amici Sumus on the reverse means We are Friends and that is the motto of the
International Correspondence Chess Federation (ICCF), which is the world body which governs
international correspondence chess.

I recently made some chess boards using Jotoba or Brazilian Cherry as it is also known. Very hard and extremely heavy wood, such a coincidence.
