LordM Giveaway #142 (pick your prize)
Contest status: CLOSED
Drawing: 28 February 2026
Winner: @Tall Paul, on behalf of @Jersey magic man
Shipped: 4 March 2026
Winner's receipt: 10 March 2026



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. Come back here to post an entry, stating which prize lot 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.

Alternately, you could enter on someone else's behalf. Just name them. In that case, 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 later, 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.

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...

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")

This contest is brought to you by Bean and Elvis, seen here practicing their “Feline Mind Merge” superpower.

 

So… I’m sure y’all have noticed how the price of silver has shot through the roof lately.

Sorry, but I succumbed to temptation and sold all the silver in the Giveaway Goodies list.

Ha! Just kidding! No I didn’t!

It’s all still there, and up for grabs.

What I did was add more.

There’s now three pages of giveaway goodies to choose from, including lots of silver.

There’s even one teeeeny-tiny gold coin, if that floats your boat.

So be sure and read the list of prize lots, and choose something fun!

 

Best of luck, Sal!

 

It’s meant to be challenging and hurt your head a bit.

I remember going into the “31 Flavors” Baskin & Robbins ice cream store as a kid, and having a hard time choosing.

I hope to keep expanding and improving the giveaway goodies over time. If that makes it tough to pick a prize, it also makes me feel like I’m doing my job.

Don’t forget to pick a prize before the drawing, though. You have to pick a prize and say why you chose that, in order to qualify. You can always change your mind after the drawing, however.

 

I feel for you, @expat. I’ve been without my uppers for more than a decade now. And my 88-year-old father in law who lives with us just had all of his remaining teeth pulled, and like you is not back on solid food yet.

 

I never wear my denture. Don’t like it. I just get by with no upper teeth. (I still have my lower ones.) I get by fine, but crunchy stuff is off the menu now. I miss eating nuts. Couldn’t do those now, even with the denture in. I used to love dry roasted peanuts, but if you gave me some now, it would be like feeding me gravel.

It doesn’t affect my smile, which was never toothy to begin with. Most folks who see me have no clue that I lack upper teeth. It did change the way I enunciate certain words, though.
