    Hello, everyone, and welcome to the latest giveaway. This will be another one of my "pick your prize" contests, so you can hopefully win something you'll like.

    To enter:

    1. Go view my Giveaway Gallery.

    2. Post an entry here, stating which prize you would prefer.

    3. State why you chose what you did.

    NOTE: That last bit is important. To qualify, you have to not only pick a prize, but also say WHY you picked it. Just a few words will do.

    However, if you are entering on someone else's behalf, you are not required to pick a prize or say why. Your designated proxy will get to pick their choice later, if your entry wins for them.

    Your prize choice need not be final. I do periodically add new prizes to the Giveaway Gallery, so if you win the drawing, you'll be given a chance to change your mind at the end, if you see a new prize you like more. I just enjoy reading everyone's initial selections up front, since it gives me an idea of what folks like.

    Click the pic below to go to the prize gallery.

    The drawing will be done via random number generator sometime on or after the date mentioned at the top of this post. The timing will depend on my schedule. You may consider the contest open for entries until such time as I have posted the final result of the drawing.

    Totally free: the contest is free of charge, open to everyone, with free worldwide shipping. The only further requirement is that if you win...

    Please post a receipt in this thread after you get the prize, so we'll know you got it (that helps me keep track).

    Good luck!

    Numismatic regards,

    ~Robertson ("Rob") Shinnick ("LordM")

    Rob, I’ll be your Huckleberry! If I win I choose:

    …the 1818 copper Coronet Large Cent. I chose this one because it would be not only be my first Coronet but also my oldest U.S. cent coin. This aligns with my strategy to find coins from a series that will be a first for my collection. I will enjoy it immensely in the here and now, but ultimately it will be inherited as a family heirloom…Spark

    You know I've got a cat named Huckleberry!

    I've also bought more large cents to (eventually) add to the giveaway goodies, including both Coronet and Braided Hair types, but this 1818 you chose is a tiny bit nicer than the new additions, I think.

    Nyatii I like running w/scissors. Makes me feel dangerous

    I'm in for the Crusader States 1163-1201 AD silver denier again.
    I don't have anything from that period and just like the design.

    Thank you, Paul. Very thoughtful of you.

    Thank you, @lordmarcovan. You rock, buddy!

    Entry Post....

    The two silver dollars, Morgan and Peace, would be great additions to my grandsons collection.

    The Half Dime Arrows!

    I'll go for the MS66 Steel cent - from the pictures it appears to be a very nice coin.

    I would love to have the 1853 Braided Hair Large Cent. I have always collected the typical late 19th to mid 20th century circulating coinage but recently purchased a Dansco 7070 album, and this would be the perfect coin to inaugurate it with.

    Another fine contest @lordmarcovan, always thankful for a chance for one of your fine prizes. I'll try again for the Morgan and peace dollars, love the sound of silver. Here is a IHC that came yesterday, it looks better in hand. Regards.

    Thanks for hosting the giveaway!

    I choose the 1945 S silver war nickel, as this was actually one of the first coins that got me into coin collecting. My first coin set that I assembled included the war nickel (though it was a 1943). :woot:
