    It happened last Thursday 2/13/2025, but I waited to receive something very special to create this thread..

    Thanks @Neal for that like to get me to 69,000! ;)

    I recently won in a CoinTalk contest a 1797 1 Stuiver -
    I received the notice of my win one day before my birthday!

    After waiting a few days longer than expected for my delivery, it finally arrived this evening personally handed to me by my local mailman :rolleyes:

    Cool chunk of silver Paddyman. I watch quite a bit of Story TV. They had some episodes on Pirates, and the East Indies company.
    Cool piece of history!

    I think that particular type is copper, actually, but yeah, it sorta does look like silver in the pics, doesn’t it.

    Happy belated birthday and 69K+ likes, @paddyman98 - and kudos to @Chris B for offering such an interesting giveaway prize!

    PS- I like the selfie. It’s much better than the one I shot by accident the other day. :facepalm::rolleyes:

    I made the same mistake at first glance.
