    I would like to see an older U.S. coin, mainly because that is what I collect.
    Thanks @lordmarcovan!

    Entry post: I would suggest something copper. Not saying silver is overdone, but maybe an Indian cent, older wheat back or even a large cent would be of interest.

    Thanks for another fine giveaway, and I am happy to provide some suggestions. Firstly, I collect just about anything I can find, but my primary target is US coins. So, (1) a nice standing liberty quarter (because I have only one of those and it is in pretty rough shape, or (2) a barber dime (same reason). Have a safe trip and fun shopping!

    Well… I found it! :woot:

    Popular demand pointed towards a large cent, and here we are…

    Can’t get good pix of it in here, but the 1838 cent is a nice, even brown with good eye appeal for the grade.

    The prize is no longer a mystery, but I’ll continue taking entries until Monday, when we’ll do the drawing.

    Keep on posting suggestions for future prizes, though…

    This coin has a PCGS priceguide value of $75. Michael had it marked at $48 in the case, but let me have it for $35. Hopefully it’ll make our lucky contest winner happy.

    It was a good deal, at $35 to me. Worth $75 per PCGS.
