    Congrats @meandyou4ever0 I think you will have a great time looking through @lordmarcovans list of coins and choosing something that really appeals to you. The diversity of poll choices was stunning and was an entertaining runup to the end. Thanks to all who took part. This giveaway would not have been possible without the participation and organizing skills of @lordmarcovan so many heartfelt thanks to you.

    Well, @lordmarcovan has just stated a new giveaway with the winner to be drawn 1st week of February. It would be a shame to choose a coin and then find it was won by somebody else. So, to answer your question, make your decision sooner rather than later, then PM @lordmarcovan with your choice.

    Post your choice here in the public thread so there’s a record of it, please, rather than private-messaging me (though I do have your address now in the private conversation thread).

    Congrat's and nice choice. More for the kids to play Sherlock Holmes with. (You might want to explain to them who he is). LOL.

    That did not happen (sorry), but the package is shipped now, and I provided a tracking link in our private conversation.

    I look forward to hearing what the lad thinks of his coins!

    USPS tracking shows the package as delivered in @meandyou4ever0 's mailbox on January 10th. She hasn't been on the forums since January 7th, so I expect she'll be along eventually. I'm looking forward to seeing what her son thought of the coins.

    yes sir we got the package. Justin has been busy and hasn't been to my house to see what we got. I told him and sent him a couple pictures. I've been busy myself this past week. Long days and crashing in the evenings hasn't gave me much time to look. I have this coming week off work so I will post pictures when I get them sorted. Thank you guys again.:happy:

    I guess she forgot to post the pictures, but that's OK. We know she got the prize. I will now lock this contest down for the archives.
