[CLOSED] Randy & Rob’s “Twelve Days of COINmas”, 2024

December 18th is very nearly upon us (at least in the Eastern US), so that means a week ‘til Christmas.

Given the planned 2-4 days between rounds, even if we stuck to the minimum of two days per round, we’d run out on the Christmas clock and go into overtime.

So in the interest of moving things along, I intend to do the Round 8 drawing tonight (in the wee hours of Wednesday morning Eastern US time), once I catch up on my chores here at work.

That leaves you late-night stragglers (or overseas folk) just an hour or three to get any last-minute entries in for this round.

 

7 days to Christmas, and we've got four rounds left to do after this one. So...

TIME FOR THE ROUND 8 DRAWING!



Our lucky number was... 314!



And Post #314 was by... @INDE1977 !

Inky the Cat for the win! Coingratulations, @INDE1977 ! You have won Lot #8.

I will need your shipping address, and shall message you shortly.

Please be sure to post to this thread after you have received your prize. We will all be interested to know what your "mystery" prizes were, as well!

It's comin', after I finish the food they brought me for "lunch", which for a hotel night auditor means 2-4-ish AM. (It was Taco Tuesday- my favorite employee meal).

 

Hang on a sec while I polish this off. I was starving.



But y’all don’t care about my overnight “lunch”, I reckon. You wanna see the coin, don’tcha?

Hang tight- Randy has put up a nice one for y’all in Round 9…

 

LET ROUND 9 BEGIN!



@Randy Abercrombie gave to thee...

A lustrous, high grade white 1957-D silver Franklin half dollar.





This example is Choice AU+ at the very least, if not Brilliant Uncirculated.

There will also be some additional "mystery prize" items.

To enter this round, all you need to do is:

1. Say that you want this lot, and
2. post something else coin-related or cheerful.

Then, sometime in the next day or two (depending on my schedule), we'll do the drawing and move on to the next round.

You may of course say you want it for someone else, if you name that person.

Note that I changed the drawing timetable from "2-4 days" to "the next day or two", as we're speeding up the rounds a little bit, in the interest of finishing up around Christmas.

 

Let's have another quick review of the previous rounds for which we're still lacking information. So far none of the prizes I've shipped have been reported as arriving. I hope that happens soon. I suppose the mails could be a bit slower due to holiday volume.
