I don't know why I'm checking in after midnight on feast day, but happy to be name-checked on this thread.
The "get PF this cool oddball" and the "get Aspie Rocco a book of nickles" threads were so much fun to be a part of.
You guys are cool.
But I'm going to have to pull my name out of the running for this coin, as I have already proved myself an irresponsible steward of bullion. The one I got at Baltimore went away quickly via the 'bay, and I'm sure that any other that finds itself in my hands will suffer a similar fate.
Appreciate your honorable retreat ...... You are way cool too

My intent is to appease those who were deeply discouraged despite their best efforts ...... so please let me know thru our honor system if you've already obtained one

I was super excited to find it even though I thought it was "only" a flip over in the collar double struck nickel at the time. Then extra super excited when a member here saw on my posted picture that it was actually a different year on the first strike. And then excited still a third time when the registered package arrived back with the slabbed coin.
I still have it, of course. It isn't going anywhere in my lifetime.
I have not acquired the enhanced reverse proof. If I were to be so lucky to receive one, it would be a most cherished momento from the Angelic Spirit that enlivens our earthly experience, and never to be sold.
This is a generous give away. If I won it, I'd flip it as a giveaway on the boards, possibly for YN's (under the age of 40 ) or maybe take it to FUN and ask them to have a raffle for it for YN's if FUN would do that for me. But not sure I am on the list? Is being mentioned in the OP put me on the list? In either case, great kindness by PF!

Incredible gesture , the winner need not only cherish the coin but it's provenance.
Spell-checked if for you, but I agree with your sentiment.
I have been extremely fortunate to have received a couple packages from Hawaii over the past few years, and that unique "Aloha" luster makes then very special.
I love that @Paradisefound finds so much pleasure in giving away some really cool items. I think it may be as much fun as the actual collecting for her. This has probably re-kindled that spark she was searching for.
Your generosity and kind heart is greatly appreciated on this forum and when you are gone, it is not the same. Your kindness is contagious and that is really awesome.
As for the mint, I did not get one but I was a day late because I totally forgot about it. I have kind of given up on these low mintage hot items from the mint after some previous disappointments. I am actually in the minority but I think limited issue items and salting circulating pieces adds excitement and profit to the hobby which I think excites young collectors which is good long term.
You are a very kind and special person who brightens this wonderful coin forum. I am so happy and blessed to be able to enjoy life with my loving wife Linda and daughter Nikki.
Thank you for thinking of us.
Enthusiastic collector of British pre-decimal and Canadian decimal circulation coins.
I didn’t get one for myself but am thankful for all the generosity of others and the love I get from strangers, friends and family.
For me I have all the other ASE and did manage to get a reverse proof on Nov 14th under my sons account but not my own. I made a commitment to sell one at a very low price to another member and did that because it was the right thing to do. For me I know I won’t be able to afford one at market price so I would really appreciate winning one for my collection for those reasons. I would keep it an cherish it. Thank you for your contest and good luck to all for this 2nd chance. Count me in please.
Thanks for the contest. And I apologize for the late entry. I was working 13 plus hours a day excluding commute for the past few days. I barely even had the time to spend with my wife and kids.
Oh I did grabbed one for my kids on the first day. But I still need another one so both of my daughters can have a set of ASE each (beside the 95W in which I am still waiting for the price to drop )
I am blown away. Thank you Paradisefound for running this generous Give Away and being such a great member of this Forum. You bring positive feeling to the Forum and the Numismatic hobby. I'm grinning so hard my face hurts..... in a good way. Thanks to the members who made the original Sacagawea error coin gift to Paradisefound such a special happening. And thanks to Paradisefound for making this a special moment for me that I will never forget.

Well it was not meant to be, if it was then I would have been able to get one from the mint, it was discouraging to say the least. Being as I did not succeed it went ahead and bought a nice Morgan Dollar off eBay, at least it had faster shipping.
I hope someone on the list enjoys it, heck, I didn't even make the list, just show's that I really wasn't supposed to get one.

Circling back to post my "treasure"....
2016 nickel, struck over a 2015 nickel.
I was super excited to find it even though I thought it was "only" a flip over in the collar double struck nickel at the time. Then extra super excited when a member here saw on my posted picture that it was actually a different year on the first strike. And then excited still a third time when the registered package arrived back with the slabbed coin.

Did not get one. Tried and failed. Went about as expected. Thanks for the second chance.

Like a few people have already mentioned, my treasures are my wife and daughter.
I do not collect these so if I were to win this item I would put it back on the board for a giveaway to someone more deserving than I.
