Note: Successful applicants have now all been notified!  Hi to all my CCF friends!  Yesterday I went to the bank and changed £100 into 50p coins to sort through, hoping maybe to find the elusive 2009 Kew Gardens or the two 2018 Beatrix Potter coins that I'm still missing! I didn't find them, but among my ten bags of 50p coins was a sealed bag of brand new uncirculated 2019 50p's! They are the normal definitive (shield) design with the latest Jody Clark portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse.  It seems a shame just to spend them, so I'm going to offer five of them FREE to the first five CCF members who send me a PM with their postal address. - One coin per person - You must be a CCF Member with at least 50 quality posts and 14 days' membership to apply (as per CCF Rules) - If you are successful, I will send you a PM to let you know! - Coins are circulation standard, not specimen BU coins! - Coins will be sent uninsured via the normal UK postal system, wrapped in paper or card - It's not compulsory, but it would be nice if members could post a photo of their coin when they receive it! Best of Luck!

I count four entries, so, if available, I'll throw my hat in. PM on its way.

This beauty was waiting for me when I arrived home late last night. I told Rob this is the first mail I've ever received from outside USA. Thanks again, Rob! (cell phone pics)
