The answer to the Second Eagle giveaway has been posted

As promised, the answer to the Second Eagle giveaway was posted sometime in June. I also put numerous clues in other articles, with more to come this month.  Anyone who actually reads this blog should have no trouble finding the answer.

Place your entry at http://coins.aplawrence.com/2014/06/second-2014-silver-eagle-giveaway.html

Remember - you need to provide the name of a numismatist - or at least their middle name.  I can tell you that we have already had correct entries, so if you did not enter a name, go back and revise your entry now or you cannot win.

Note: All my coins are in a safe deposit box. I keep nothing in my home.

Second 2014 Silver Eagle Giveaway Starts Monday June 9th

Name the Numismatist Giveaway

Yes, I'm giving away another 2014 Silver Eagle. The contest starts Monday, June 9th and will end on July 31st.

Silver Eagles are made by the United States Mint and are one Troy ounce of .999 silver. Their value depends upon the spot price of silver, which is around $19.00 per ounce right now.

This one is a little harder than the first giveaway.

Sometime in June, one of my blog posts will casually mention the middle name of a certain numismatist.  That's what you need to know to win!

If nobody gets the answer, I'll draw a winner from those who answered incorrectly.

Don't bother to go looking now - the post with that name hasn't been posted yet and may not be anytime soon - but it will be posted before the end of June and you have until the end of July to find it!

And remember - this person was a numismatist.  He was not just someone who had something to do with money like a bank president. That's an important clue!

If I get more than than 200 entries, I'll double the first prize to two  Silver Eagles AND award a second prize of one Silver Eagle.

Also: be sure to tell your friends, because I'm not announcing this on Facebook, Twitter or anywhere else (doesn't mean you can't do so, of course).

THERE WILL BE CLUES IN OTHER POSTS.  These are important, because more than one middle name is mentioned!

The incredible doubling 2014 Silver Eagle Giveaway

This contest has ended. There will be another soon.

I need to get the word out about this blog - right now we usually have less than 100 visitors daily. Once in a while it gets close to 200,  but that's rare.

So, I'm going to have a giveaway. The prizes are going to be 2014 silver eagles from a roll I bought a few months ago.  Here's how it works.

A random winner will be chosen on  June 1st 2014, and if that is yours, I'll be mailing you at least one 2014 silver eagle.

Silver Eagles are made by the United States Mint and are one Troy ounce of .999 silver. Their value depends upon the spot price of silver, which is around $19.00 per ounce right now.

If I get more than than 200 entries, I'll double the first prize to two  Silver Eagles AND award a second prize of one Silver Eagle.

How do you enter? This is the easiest contest ever! You don't have to Tweet, Like, Plus or Comment: you just enter! That's it. Of course if you do tell other people about it, you might get a better prize, but that's up to you.
