[CLOSED] LordM Giveaway #106 (Twelve Days of COINmas) 2023

I would love to enter.

Don't get your hopes up too high (I've never won anything), but if I do win give to @masterswimmer for his grandson.

Why didn't I get a dropdown???

Edit: I didn't get a dropdown, but when I put it on the thread it did show up correctly.

I am in for round 11, and if I win, I hope that @paddyman98 would be able to say he would want these sent to him. I don't see him much on the contests, but I know he likes finding things, so....

And for Christmas, I remember having the ornaments be primarily "Mercury Glass" ones, though I don't have any remaining.

 

Thanks!

 

That's exactly it!

 

Aww you are too nice. Thank you very much @Jersey magic man …. And when you type @ type the name with no spaces… it pops up and you can tap on that box or just type it out @PamR

 

I do miss those. I might have some from my childhood days packed away, but haven't used them for years.

 

Thanks.

 

Never thought to save the ones I liked the most. Which is sad. I would love to have a few to use to decorate, ones I had as a kid. And another thing I don't see much anymore at Christmas is ribbon candy. That was something we got every Christmas in the mid to late 60s. For a candy bowl and it was even more of a thing for us than candy canes. Times change and we don't realize that it is so we don't make the effort to keep what we like.

 

Those Christmas ornaments had a slow attrition due to breakage. Every year you loose one or two until there are none left. As I recall they were very fragile.

 

You are so right about things changing and realizing. I hadn't thought about ribbon candy in years, and when I looked at a photo of it...wow...when did that go away? And why didn't I notice? You just look at it and see Christmas. We always had tins of Christmas candy with them in it. Sigh...

 

I want those Mercury dimes for @Rushmore !

Though I don't have many of these, I do love the design. When it came out in gold, I just had to acquire one for my collection.

 

Entry post. The Mercury Dime is one of my favorite designs.
Thank you @lordmarcovan!

 

I would like to enter for lot #11 if it is not too late. We have been out of power for the past three days due to the storm and are just now up and running again. Here is a wheat cent I pulled out of my change yesterday.

 

Yep. Fragile, they were.

 

@Jeepfreak81 and @lardan thank you both for your entry's. Very nice of you.

 

I’m in for round 11.
Back when I first started collecting a neighbor gave me a 1943 Mercury! Still have it to this day.

 

I'm in, I would like a shot at the winged Liberty dimes. I'm all for freedom of thought. Thanks again LordM.

Neat story Rob!
