After giving away a walking liberty half dollar the other day I got the itch to give another away.

I had to do something to sweeten the pot on the NFL sweepstakes so I gave away some silver. I have a small collection of these half dollars and they are all in the same shape, well used!

Here are a couple more that represent the shape of the whole collection:

Nice coins, but not worth more than melt value. The average silver weight of this coin is 0.3617oz, so multiply that by the current spot price of silver ($28.29) and you end up with a value of $10.27 usd.

These are nice coins and high on a lot of people list of favorite coins, another reason I enjoy giving them away :)

So, I wanted to have some sort of contest to give another away, not just a raffle but something fun. I was thinking back to the wild west days of Steem and all the various giveaways and contests that were held, and I wanted to do something like that.

However, for that to work there needs to be a decent amount of folks participating, and that's just not the case here anymore. It's fine, things change, and I had an idea...

I headed over to the SGS discord with the contest already in mind, but I said this...

And that was it, that was the contest xD

I decided before hand that the first suggestion that was NOT, "give it to me" would win 🏆

But, before I reveal the winner, here is a sample of the other "suggestions", all from different folks...

"Just give it to me"
"It would look great in my collection"
"shipping cost will kill you"
"I can't join because I'm in Malaysia"
"keep it for this years #secretsanta"
"Whatever game you pick, don't let Hive account@silverd510 win it"

Uh, thanks?

The first response I got, and the winner for suggesting an almost real contest, is

Hive account@thekittygirl 🎉Congratulations :D🎉

DM an address and I'll be happy to send the 1941 coin your way 👍

Contest, Part II

That's right, I'm going to raffle a 1943 Walker off now, this one to be exact

The coin will be sent in a regular, first class envelope world-wide, as it is just under and ounce. Here is the card with Hive account@dfinney's winning coin.
