    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 goodies list.

    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 goodies list, 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 view the prize list.

    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")

    Submitting another entry post for the small roman bracelet from time machine. Been a few months, but hoping one day luck will favor me in obtaining this interesting antiquity.

    Cool piece! Never seen one. Do you suppose that's Uncle Sam on there?

    Entry post. Once again I would like to try for the Greek lion, it would be the oldest example in my collection. Here is a lion, although 1,700 years later
    Cilician Armenia. Royal. King Hetoum I, with Queen Zabel AD 1226-1270.

    Could be, we'll never know but a good question I never thought of, he definitely looks like 4th of July vibes for sure, but I think the Uncle Sam idea came later than 1898 but I could be wrong. thumbsup.gif

    Here is Uncle Sam in a political cartoon from 1897. I had to look him up.
