    It wasn’t just you. There were indeed problems, and the site was down for a day. I’m glad we’re back up!

    It is now time for the final round in this contest, which, as I have hinted previously, is something of a "grand finale", thanks to the generosity of our kind donor, @BuffaloHunter.


    banner- day 12.png

    @BuffaloHunter gave to thee...

    • (1) 1937-D Arkansas Centennial commemorative half dollar, PCGS MS64
    PCGS cert. #04929313.

    This is a $175 coin, folks! :woot:


    12a.jpeg 12b.jpeg


    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, we will have the final drawing on or shortly after 12 January (depending on my schedule), after @Randy Abercrombie return from the FUN show in Florida.

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

    I'm not sure how this will go over. But I'll give it a go anyway.

    A little birdie told me that @lordmarcovan has a deep affection for this commemorative. I know the logistics of him coordinating the drawing puts him in a precarious and awkward position entering for himself. Nevertheless, I'd like to put my entry in for Rob. With all due respect to every single person on the CT forum, I honestly can't pick any other member whose more deserving than he.

    So without further ado, please accept this entry for our most giving person on Coin Talk, Rob @lordmarcovan.

    I truly hope nobody has a problem with this proxy entry.

    Good luck to all.
