A big Wonderfull shout out to David McCarthy, I won a Quint. America's first Coin
Thanks to David aka @Regulated. He ran on Instagram a contest as said below,
.
.
I will be giving away a 2018-dated gold reproduction of the very first coin struck by the United States government, the unique Plain Obverse Quint (click the link in my bio for NPR’s article about the Quint). The grand prize is one of two examples struck over an 18th century gold coin, and was made using hand-engraved dies on a real screw press - just like the genuine article. A second winner will receive one of only two silver reproductions (overstruck on an 18th century silver coin), and ten runners-up will be awarded an example struck in white metal with a mintage of 750-pieces.To enter, Follow @x_coinnerd_x, repost this image, and use the following hashtags: #firstamericancoin, #freegold, #freesilver. Winners will be randomly chosen on September 15th at noon PST

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......2 -
It's great to see it go to someone on the forum and who plans to keep it! A lot of giveaway accounts and people wanting to flip it reposted so I am glad someone here won it.

I don't know whether I'd feel right selling the ones I have left. I'm thinking about what to do, since I've had a surprising number of people ask about them.
