Just post once to enter. Winner will be drawn sometime by or shortly before Halloween, maybe when I'm shipping my next round of eBay auctions.
This coin came from my last casual 19th century VF-XF type set, and I think it's a good album coin. It's a "black beauty", but in hand, it is not as dark (or as granular) as the photos indicate.
Forum consensus said it wouldn't grade at a TPG (but who would want to submit a $20-ish coin to a TPG, anyway?)
And I'm not so sure. Looking at it under a glass, I considered it to be a problem-free (if somewhat dark) example.
I liked it because I was striving for a "Circulated Cameo" appearance for my set, and appealing CircCams are hard to come by in copper.
Now it can be yours, for the special one-time price of zero dollars, if you're the lucky winner of the drawing.

That's a nice looking coin! Add me to the "donate to a YN" pile. An Indian head cent played a large role in sparking my interest in numismatics and it wasn't anywhere near as nice as this coin.Learn about our world's shared history told through the first millennium of coinage: Colosseo Collection0

Don't draw my name. I just wanted to comment something moderately humorous and remark that I think this black cameo coin is perfect for Hallows' Eve! It would go great with a pumpkin and spider web!0 -

The walnut reference was an inside joke from one of my MD Forum peeps.
Demodigger was plainly trying to disqualify himself, as I hate walnuts.
Pecans, too, which is unpatriotic considering I'm from south Georgia.
I don't have anything against peanuts, though I can no longer eat them or anything crunchy since I lost all my upper teeth.
Speaking of humor, look what happened when I linked to this thread from the Darkside forum.
And while we're doing Halloween stuff, here are two totally true frightening forum stories. (Nice alliteration, huh? Thanks.)
Just in case you're new to the forums in the last three years and missed the first one, or are visiting from the Sportscard side.
Or simply have WAY too much time to waste. (You must, or why else would you be reading this, right?)
