Monster Raffle Prize

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

I did not win a prize… 😭

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

But, Hive account@bengy has a good and generous heart. And for some CRAZY reason he felt guilty for winning ALL of the prizes. So, Hive account@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 Hive account@bengy’s prizes in the giveaway!

The item, a donation from Hive account@enginewitty, would be a one ounce piece of silver (my choice) from the 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.

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.

^{My full collection of Rwandan Lunar New Year coins, all mint sealed!}

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

^{Are those tiny dragons?}

^{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. 😄

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