Hi everyone, I am coming up to my 3,000th post of quality coins and banknote. As you may know I buy a lot of British, New Zealand, Australian, Fijian and other silver coins and some banknotes. I have a lot of spares and nice items. For all the support and fun I have here I want to give back! Here is what I do (With a big thanks to Numis Rob for the idea, which he kindly let me use). I am giving away 12 prizes described below. Each prize is a nice coin or banknote. At the very least they are worth $10 and most $50. There are no losers or booby prizes, all are fabulous items. The prizes 1. GB 1829 Halfcrown in Fair condition   2. NZ 1933 Halfcrown in VF condition   3. Australian 1914 Florin - Fair condition  4. Fijian $20 note - 1990s series C - Fine+  5. 6 selected NZ Silver sixpences and threepences 6. Australian 2013 Queens 60th anniversary $2 coin (Very scarce and the major prize) - AU  Coin on left 7. A 1929 British Florin in aEF  8. A pair of NZ old $1 and $2 banknotes - condition Fine  Just ONE note each of the $1 and $2, NOT ALL of them 9. 2 Australia commem $2 coins, 2016 Decimal currency and 2020 year of Peace both AU/UNC  Coin at bottom only  1 of these! 10. New Zealand Bimetallic 50 cent coin - 1994  11. A pair of NZ 2015 Anzac and 2018 Armistice 50 cent coins - UNC and getting rarer  12. A 1949 Silver NZ crown - condition VF/EF may have toning and slight defects  Next the rules and YOU MUST follow these to the letter. Edited by Princetane

RULES
1. You must live in New Zealand, USA, Australia, UK and Ireland, Canada, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Western Europe to Austria, Germany, Japan, Singapore and all of Scandanavia or South Africa.
If you live in Eastern Europe, China, Russia, Africa other than South Africa, any Latin or South America, Indian subcontinent or Asia outside of Japan and Singapore you may not enter sorry as your postal services are too unreliable and I have not interacted with anyone from those regions. If you enter and I see you are not in the approved countries, you will be ineligible.
Your postal address must be a basic street address, no PO Boxes, Postbus, rural or far out locales, it must be reached by standard airmail.
2. Choose a number between 1 and 12, first to choose that number gets that number. However the numbered order of each item is not necessarily the item you receive (So if you choose number 3, you may get number 8 instead etc).
3. When you choose a number, state the country you live in.
4. Do not choose a number chosen before you, in the case of people posting with seconds of each other, the first post will be counted.
5. Do not post more than one number, one number per account, if you post two numbers or twice, YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED AND FROZEN OUT!
6. ONE NUMBER PER ACCOUNT!
7. NO returns, its a lottery - what you get is randomly selected.
8. After all 12 numbers are selected, I will email you for your address (DO NOT post it on the thread).
9. I will then post a list of each number and the user who has got the item.
10. All items will be posted by "Standard Airmail" - so at your own risk, I can not govern how well your post office performs. Do not ask for priority or parcel mail as it will not happen, you are getting a free item after all.
11. IMPORTANT - I live in Auckland New Zealand which has the MOST STRICT LOCKDOWN in the WORLD right now. I can not post anything until these restrictions are eased enough for the post office to reopen. So I can not post the lots until this happens. This will be at least 2 (TWO) weeks from now and could be longer. I will post on the thread when the lots have gone out.
12. Please post on this thread what you have received when you have received it and a photo if you want.
13. Have fun and good luck, we are opening this now!

3 numbers gone thanks.
2 more rules
1. You must have 50 posts.
2. Limit of 3 numbers per country, so 1 left for USA and 2 left for Canada. Would prefer at least one each for Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
On thinking I may also allow applications from Israel, Turkey and Greece as well.
These will be the last rules.
