Okay, let's get straight down to business, when I went to bed last night we had 7 spots left for the Guatemalan dos reals silver coin.
When I got up this morning there were 22 more entries 🤣
So, instead of leaving these fine folks out of the fun I'm going to add a second coin to the raffle so there will be TWO WINNERS!!!
The first coin to be raffled off is this sweet 1868 dos reals from Guatemala...
Here's yesterday's post if you want to read more about that coin:
Here's the second coin I'll be giving away. A really nice 1885 Mexican 25 centavos. 90% silver, just like the Guatemalan coin.
This one seems to be worth about $20 as well, or at least that's what an average looking coin like this one is going for on ebay.
Now let's see if I can make sense of how this will work. First the players...
This brings the total tickets to 40 and we'll call that sold out.
NOTE: Since I changed the contest, you can opt out if you don't like the changes and I'll send you your HIVE back :)...otherwise...
First I'll toss this list into the random.org List Randomizer.
This will scramble the names and give each entry a number. From there I'll use the True Random Number Generator™️ to pick the two winners.
First number drawn will get the Guatemalan dos reals
Second number will win the Mexican 25 centavos
The only caveat is the same number cannot win both prizes. If the exact same number is drawn on the second draw I'll just re-draw. Capisce?
I'll do the draw tomorrow, good luck!!!
