The winners are listed below.
Thanks to all who participated and a special thanks to the winners who will spread the joy of numismatics to a YN of their choice.
Since you know who the coin will go to, I figured it is better if I send you a PayPal Gift of $23 ($20 for the coin and $3 S/H) and then you can pick it out.
Please PM me your PayPal email account and I'll send you the $23 PP Gift.
If you do not have a PP account, then PM me your address and I'll pick out the coin and have the seller ship it

Original Post
It was 2 years ago today when I rejoined the forum after around a 6 year absence.
In tribute to that, and to the "smartest forum member" stman and a YN that I knew as a kid here, I'm doing a giveaway.
I called stman the smartest forum member, because he recalled I use the phrase "the nice people on eBay" currently as well as in my original account which is a pretty impressive memory since it was a decade ago.
My old posts still show up from time to time, most notably in LordM's UNO thread which is still alive. The first reply is from me:

Anyway the rules are simple, in a complex sort of way.
No one gets to keep their winnings. You must give away the item to a YN of your choice - friend, child, relative or stranger - to help promote the hobby with future generations.
There will be six winners. Each will receive a modern PCGS coin with a denomination of either 1c, 5c, 10c, 25c, 50c or $1 worth about $20 that I'll buy on eBay and have shipped to you.
To enter, simply note the denomination you would want along with a 3 digit number (000-999).
For example:
5c, 148
or
$1, 419
Only one entry per person, so some strategy could be involved by picking a non-popular denomination. (We'll call it The stman factor)
The winning numbers for each denomination will be drawn at random on Sunday night around 6 PM and the person closest will get that denomination.
Important
Winners must PM their shipping address no later than Monday night 9/26 at 11 PM or they will forfeit their prize.
My schedule next week is hectic so I need to have this completed by then.
So please don't enter if you can't get back to me by 11 PM Monday night.
All times are PST
