Monster Raffle Prize

in Silver Gold Stackers3 months ago (edited)

Back on July 20, the silver gold stackers community held its annual Monster Raffle.


I did not win a prize… 😭

As you will see, @bengy won ALL of the prizes! 😄😄

CRAZYBut, @bengy has a good and generous heart. And for some reason he felt guilty for winning ALL of the prizes. So, @bengy decided to give three of his prizes away! He did this with the random number generator tool in the silver gold stackers discord.

I ended up winning one of @bengy’s prizes in the giveaway!


APMEX website. It took me awhile to make my selection, but in the end I chose a new coin from a series I’ve been collecting. My prize arrived in the mail about a week ago.The item, a donation from @enginewitty, would be a one ounce piece of silver (my choice) from the

It’s a Rwandan Lunar New Year Dragon Coin!

My coin, like the others I own in the series, arrived “mint sealed” in a protective plastic covering. This cover has a black mint mark that matches the back of the coin. I DID NOT REMOVE THIS COVER! 🤣😂🤣😂 Anyone who knows me, knows I love a shiny and untarnished coin.

If you know anything about the silver gold stackers community, you know the coin wasn’t the only thing @enginewitty sent.

Are those tiny dragons?

IMG_8037.jpeg

YES! Ba-jillions of tiny dragons!

What’s better than a ba-jillion tiny dragons?

Only a ba-jillion tiny dragons lined up outside of course!

Before I get to the NEXT THING, I would be remiss if I didn’t share with you the specs on the dragon coin. This 1 troy ounce, .999 pure silver coin is the eighth release in the Rwandan lunar new year series. The front depicts a stylized mosaic dragon. While the reverse features the seal of Rwanda. The coin has a face value of 50 Rwandan francs.

But… the coin and dragons were not the only things in this package!

Witty also sent me flowers!

Do I like them better outdoors for alfresco dining?

Or, do we like them better here on the mantle?

The flowers and vase came disassembled in four different packages. While these are not LEGO, the idea was the same (just a different company). I carefully followed the instructions to put together this vase, the two blue bonnet stems and the hydrangea flower.

In exciting news for me, the flowers are also PART OF A SERIES! There are 9 different flowers to buy and build. The others to collect are the rose, sunflower, dahlia, lily, tulip, marigold and daisy. I cannot resist a series, so I will surely be purchasing the rest of these flowers soon! I will probably need another vase too. 😄


MONSTER RAFFLE. And many thanks to the silver gold stackers for being the most generous community on the Hive blockchain. 🩷Many thanks to @enginewitty for the fabulous prize pack. Many thanks to @buggedout for organizing another stellar

I love it. Very classy from @bengy and @enginewitty did an awesome job with his prizes.

Mine arrived yesterday and I need to write it up. Lets just say there is some similarities ;)

Did you also get a bouquet of flowers? 😉

Re-gifted or re-won, in this case they sound the same, congratulations @dfinney 🐉

They say recycling ♻️ is good for the planet. In this case it Wa certainly good for me! 😃

Oh I love it!! The dragons are great, like giant confetti!

Fake legos though 😬😂

Wonder is you tagged @bengy enough?

@bengy can’t be tagged nearly enough!

@summertooth, I am surprised how you could even wonder this. 😂🤣

Did you mean to say the dragons are:

GIANT CONFETTI? 🎉

Ping ping ping....

Ooooohhh... that is an awesome one! Nice choice!

I'm afraid that I only gave away two of the prizes, not three! I kept five for myself!

YOU ARE SOOOOO SELFISH! 🤣😂🤣 🩷

I still can’t believe you gave any of them away! Thank you for feeling prize overwhelmed. 😄

Dam nice of @bengy. Then you got pladunked by @enginewitty…. 😎 Badasses will be badasses….

Congratulations @bengy, looks like you scored some awesome silver!🤗

He certainly did!

🤗😊👍
Hope you are doing well !😊

Hanging in there. 🙂

I just caught up on some of Elizabeth’s posts yesterday. I am so sorry to hear about your daughter-in-law’s father. She and your son are lucky to have you guys to look after Phoenix while they are away & to look after them when they come back. ❤️

It’s a sad time for Agi(our daughter-in-law), and I think this is the first time our youngest son has experienced this kind of loss…..
Now he tells mom and dad to take care of ourselves!🥰
This did give us the opportunity to spoil our grand dog Lol……☺️
Phoenix is so much fun, she runs to greet us when we come back home!
Dachshunds are awesome!🤗

Thank you for contributing more great content to the #SilverGoldStackers tag. You have created a Precious Gem!

How awesome! That is a beauty! I don't like removing coins from protective plastic either, they look best in their intended mint like state. That is quite a collection you have amassed, all very pretty shiny silver. The collection of dragons was equally impressive!

The flowers are cool, at first I would have sworn they were LEGO, what company produced them just out of curiosity?

FAKELEGO™️
xD

The company is brickcraft. Website brickcraffofficial.com. Looks like they have MTV, crayola, and Nickelodeon stuff too…

I love those little dragons, they're so cool. As to the coins, 4 more years, and you'll have the full set. And just out of interest, why Rwanda? It seems a bit random.

You know… when you asked “why Rwanda”, I had never really thought to question. But really… WHY RWANDA? 😄 I have no idea. I do know they have 3 or 4 really popular series of silver coins. This one, one with animals and another with cool sailing ships. And I do also know, that while the coins are considered legal tender in Rwanda… they are actually minted by a private company in Germany! So, the layers of mystery grow. 🕵🏻‍♀️

Cool flowers lol

!pimp

They are cool, but that vase was surprisingly difficult to construct!

Rwanda Lunar coins are fantastic. I have the same collection! I didn't know you were collecting them too!
