    I don't believe I won another lot! Well I did need some help from my friends. Thanks again to PamR and Expat for their extra entries.

    How the heck do you get the "@member name" in blue so they know they were mentioned???

    I don't collect dimes nor want any (of all the coins out there, dimes are on no interest to me. I don't know why, I just don't like them. Maybe it is their size.).

    Anyway, I would like to reciprocate and if my number is picked please give the gift to PamR.

    I would love to enter for round 11! I love Mercury dimes, but I only have one right now! I'm in the process of getting a higher grade slabbed one, but it's from the 40's, and I might start my Mercury dime collection by collecting one from each decade.
    Thanks @lordmarcovan for the contest!

    Usually if you type it, the forum will automatically create that link when you post it. Usually. But not always. You have to type it precisely, and there has to be a space before and after each end of the tag you’re trying to create.

    I'm in.

    We are currently having a crisis. My husband may have broken my daughter's bubble squezee thing (no idea what it's called but it has a bubble filled with fluid under a net and when you squeeze it bubbles come through the net). She's laughing now so I'm guessing it is fixed :happy:

    I want in on @expat behalf. A truly good soul.
    Eleventh drawing gets a coin with "11" in the date, sorta.

    "UND" representing the number "11"

    Wow.

    And I wouldn’t have known about “UND”. Interesting. I would have expected them to go with CCCCXI for 1411.

    Starting with 1402, the date was written:
    1402 CCCC:SECUNDO
    1403 CCCC:TERCIO
    1404 CCCC:QUARTO
    1405 CCCC:QUINTO
    1410 CCCC: DEC
    1411 CCCC:UND
    Starting with 1412, they used Roman numerals

    Simple to remember how to spell the members name precisely, as @lordmarcovan pointed out.

    When you type the @ symbol, just type the first three characters exactly as the member spells their screen name. The system should automatically populate a dropdown menu of all names that begin with those three characters. If you know a 4th character, the auto pop will narrow down your choices to those first 4 characters.
    Some members names are a bit tricky. Some have an underscore '_' as the first character. Some a space. Some a lowercase 'L' looks like the number one, etc.

    Anyway, when the system auto populates, just select the member name and voilà, you're on your way to seeing their name in blue clickable font.

    Hope this helps.

    The Mercury dimes look great and I don't have any so count me in please!

    This one takes a little thought:

    That one flew over my head, I'm afraid. Unless it's about "you'll go down in history"?

    Too subtle for me.

    I'd like to enter round 11 for @masterswimmer and his grandson.

    My 7 year old has taken a decent interest in coins lately and I love that there's still interest being sparked in the newer generations (not that I'm ancient....yet).

    4 days til Christmas everyone! woot woot
