    And Post #194 was by @The Half Dime, on behalf of @ksmooter61!

    COINgratulations, @ksmooter61, and kudos to you for your kindness, @The Half Dime.

    Of course thanks go out again to our generous donor for this round, @Eric the Red.

    I will message y'all shortly.

    @Eric the Red - as usual, please post a notice in this thread when the prize has shipped.

    @ksmooter61 - please post a notice in this thread later, when you have received the goodies.

    @Eric the Red has another fun prize for us, coming up next. It is not another Merc/Walker combo. What will it be? Stand by... :)

    To enter this round, all you need to do is:

    1. Say that you want this lot, and
    2. post something else coin-related or cheerful.

    Then, sometime in the next 2-4 days (depending on my schedule), we'll do the drawing and move on to the next round.

    You may of course say you want it for someone else, if you name that person.

    Okay, I'm in on this one. I only have one pre-1900's and it is an 1836 lettered edge as well. Thanks @Eric the Red for the donation. :)

    Interesting that they didn't give a details grade on that. That must be an older Genny holder.

    I know, right. It's listed as "cleaned". I paid $140 for it also.

    Thanks! I just felt guilty being gone so long and taking away a chance for other people.

    What an amazing coin to give away! This is flat out one of the most important years in the history of our Country and marks a time of change for our Country's mints that stands unrivaled to this day. I am sending in my entry once again in the nameof @MeowtheKitty . Know this Meow. If it were not for the fact that I finally found the exact 1836 I wanted for my own collection Christmas charity would have taken a huge hit . James
