    What do I think? Well, as you've seen, I will look out for you. But I will also call you out.

    Yes, I expect there would be a large crowd of screaming nerds with flaming torches and pitchforks and nooses at my door... LOL

    That's great to hear. I'd be super interested in and consider this as my entry post for it. I actually have a Roman javelin from Time Machine as well. Been a long time since I've last heard of them. I wonder if they're still active or semi retired.

    I was too busy overseeing CTF#4 to take part in the last giveaway, but I'm eager for the opportunity to enter for the Judaean prutah—though I will say, I find the German rechenpfennig quite attractive.

    Thanks for the opportunity @lordmarcovan, it's good to see you back.

    The gentleman is an octogenarian but a spry and robust looking one, as I recall from chatting with him at the show. He mentioned being in his 80s but I otherwise might not have guessed. He might be semi-retired.

    I swear our spokescritter Dora has grown just since this thread was posted. She seems heavier and more solid when you pick her up.

    Entry post.
    Thank you for running the contest! I love that Schulter skull rechenpfennig. It would complement a couple other similar pieces I've picked up recently.

    I love that 1908-S Philippine Peso. I’ve always loved the design but never owned one.

    I would like to enter for the steel cent please.

    For me it's both interesting and unusual.

    Thanks LM for the opportunity. :)

    Y’all don’t forget Rule 3 in the instructions… a lot of folks have.

    You not only pick a prize, but have to say WHY you chose it.

    (Unless you’re giving your chance to someone else.)

    I like the raw 22 peace dollar because my grandson was born in 2022 and I want to give it to him.

    If I happen to win, I'd like to have the Venezuelan 5 Bolivares. I really like the coat of arms and who doesn't like a silver dollar size coin! I think I speak for all of us when I say, Thanks for hosting these giveaways!

    It is time for the drawings!

    Now, for the first drawing, our lucky number was #27.

    upload_2025-7-1_1-20-23.png

    And Post #27 was by... @No_Ragrets !

    Coingratulations, @No_Ragrets !

    You have won your choice of prize. I see you initially selected a Canadian Maple Leaf.

    [​IMG]

    But subsequently changed your selection to the Japanese 100-mon coin, because it would fit so nicely with the theme of that nifty box you have.

    [​IMG]

    Whichever one you prefer (or an entirely new selection) is yours. Just let me know which prize you want.

    I will of course need your shipping address and shall message you shortly. Please don't forget to post here to this thread later, after you have received the prize, so we'll all know you got it. :)

    This time our lucky number was #47.

    Post #47 was by... @NonFloreatExxon !

    Coingratulations, @NonFloreatExxon ! You have won that 1600s "skullie", unless you wish to pick a different prize. I shall need your address and will message you shortly. Please remember to post to this thread later, when you have received the prize, so we'll all know you got it. :)

    Holy smokes, I won? That's so cool! If you're ok with me having changed my mind, that Japanese coin does look very interesting. Thank you again for running these giveaways!
