Since it it the eighth day of August, and my 888th post, by way of thanks to you all on the forum, I'm giving away eight lots of coins. Let me know if you want to be in the drawing for some of these dreckige widgets.
8. eight Lincoln cents [Won by Eric_Babula]
7. a Barber dime with an 8 counterstamp [Won by Purfrock]
6. six Indian cents [Won by CommemKing]
5. five nickels [Won by Paradisefound]
4. a gold-plated, counterstamped Kennedy half [Won by 3keepSECRETif2rDEAD]
3. three cull three-cent silvers [Won by Oldhoopster]
2. two two-cent pieces [Won by Aotearoa]
1. the center of a Morgan dollar [Won by Smudge]
Let me know if you want to be in the drawing for all the stuff together (one winner) or 8 separate lots (more winners) - I will go with the consensus as of midnight tonight PDT.
[Edit - OK, we have decided on separate lots. I'll start the drawings this weekend and try to wrap up before the ANA show. You can still enter, if interested.]

Spread the 8's. Eight winners.
Edit to add:
For posterity, a pic of the "888" post.
Queen Elizabeth's eldest granddaughter, Princess Beatrice, was born on 8/08/1988.
I believe that the first night game at Wrigley Field was played on that date too. Or maybe it was scheduled for then, but postponed because of weather. Something like that.
...Congrats!...here you go, for when you post again
Spread the love.
Go with 8 separate lots. I'm in.
Yeah, separate lots....unless the postage would be a hassle.
You are 100% correct.
Later, Paul.
Cool numbers~
According to google
No. 8 has long been regarded as the luckiest number in Chinese culture. With pronunciation of 'Ba' in Chinese, no. 8 sounds similar to the word 'Fa', which means to make a fortune. It contains meanings of prosperity, success and high social status too, so all business men favor it very much.
In Chinese numerology, 888 has a different meaning, triple fortune, a strengthening of the meaning of the digit 8. For this reason, addresses and phone numbers containing the digit sequence 888 are considered particularly lucky, and may command a premium because of it.
I ate dinner just now.
8 separate lots and I am in! Super cool coincidence with the 8s.
Count me in please. I agree with spreading the wealth. Very clever! Thanks!

Thanks for the opportunity, i vote to spread it around
OK, 8 lots it is! I'll try to get organized in the next couple days - in the meantime you can still let me know if you want to enter the drawing if you haven't already.
Maybe if I had planned ahead instead of just digging through my "I have no idea what to do with these" pile. I thought of The Gambia 8 shillings hippo, too, but don't have one at the moment.
Or a $1000 Watermelon note would be cool, since 1000 is 8 in binary
