P0CKETCHANGE 2000th Post Celebration & Giveaway 🥳 ***WINNER SELECTED***

This is my 2000th post! 🥳
I joined the boards four years ago, when I was getting back into collecting in 2019. Little did I know a pandemic would ignite the coin market the next year. This (rekindled) hobby became a welcome distraction during a crazy time, and I’ve become more determined to build a really cool collection.
One big focus this year has been on the mysterious and esoteric double dime, and I’ve enjoyed sharing my appreciation for this quirky, uncommon series. In that spirit, I’m happy to announce that I’ll be giving away this PCGS XF45 1875-S, which I happily acquired from the BST recently.
This fantastic type coin is pedigreed to the @ad4400 type collection, and it's a wonderful example of a mid-grade coin. The circulation cameo and sharp strike give it tremendous eye appeal. I expect the new owner will be very pleased.
How to enter: Reply to this post and include a photo of a 20c piece. It doesn’t need to be one you own, although it’s cool if it is. (Note: If you want to be excluded from the drawing for any reason, just note that in your post.)
Rules:
1. You MUST include a 20c photo to enter! Again, there's no requirement that it's one you own.
2. Entrants must have a forum “join date” before today, and have at least one post made before today. This is to prevent duplicate account creation to get more entries.
3. The entry period will run for one week and the drawing will happen on Saturday, Nov 25th (exact time TBD).
4. I will assign each qualified entry a number (consecutively, in order of reply) and use a random number generator to draw the winner.
5. Winner must claim and confirm shipping address within 72 hours, or I will redraw. I will PM the winning member immediately after the drawing, as most people get an email when PM’d. If you don't, you can enable it in settings.
6. Shipping address must be in the United States (sorry for our international friends).
7. In the unlikely case where this giveaway commitment is not fulfilled in part of whole (for ex., my untimely death or demise, damage or loss by the USPS, etc.), even if due to my own gross negligence (for ex., bringing the coin on a boat and accidentally dropping it into the ocean), the winner shall not be entitled to any further claim or entitlement to the coin and/or any monetary compensation or recompense.
8. No griping or grousing about the rules.
9. Good luck!
Nothing is as expensive as free money.

Wonderful series to attempt. Short and expensive!
I no longer own a double dime but here's a pic of a grade and date/mm I did own at one time.

I hope this counts.
Thanks for a chance. I haven't owned a 20 cent piece in about 30 years.

I don't have a 20¢ coin and thought @MarkKelley was brilliant for posting your coin. Wait, I do have one....not sure where I picked it up. Cool contest, very original and congrats on posting this giveaway exactly on your 2000'th post!

Congrats on the milestone. Still searching for a nice 20c to add to my collection so don't have one I own to post.
Heres a pretty proof example from coinfacts.

Not mine, but I sure wish it was.
Here's a somewhat older 20c.
Not mine, although I do have a lower grade example.
Not mine but had one very similar to this. Thank you for your giveaway. You are very generous!
Congrats on 2K. Double Dimes are one of my favorites.
A very generous giveaway. Thanks for the opportunity. This is the only double dime I've ever owned.
Thanks for the opportunity. I wish I’d found this board pre-pandemic, it would have been a welcome distraction from the things going on in my families life far more serious, but glad to be here now.

Not my coin, but i like the originality of this coin!
Thank you for the chance!
@PocketChange , thanks for the opportunity, but more importantly, thanks for sharing your insights, wisdom, and experiences over these past four years!
Hey @FlyingAl , what a great looking 1875-CC shown way above! I guess I’ll have to post one of my others to enter, lol (this photo was taken by another great photographer).

Not mine! Thanks for the chance! And Congrats!
20c patterns definitely count.
I’ll allow it! I’m not familiar with any non-US 20c, so cool to see.
This is a DREAM coin. The 1877 proof is a tough coin, and that one is a beauty.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Cool series...thanks for getting me to take a good look at some coins I know little about!
Congrats on the 2000 mark

Congratulations on the 2K posts! This is my only example of a $.20 piece. It resides in a holder with a mechanical error describing the coin as a quarter.
How about one that someone probably hoped to pass as a quarter. I found this one in change ~60 years ago.

Happy 2000, cool giveaway. Unfortunately, not mine.
