    You made this hard @lordmarcovan, (btw thanks for the contest). I came here specifically because of the walker, ( my mother's birth year), but the other two sure are fine prizes. However, dance with who brung ya, so I would go with C if I win.

    I want in! My choice is the Trajan Denarius.
    I came to this thread thinking I'd want the Walker since it is my favorite US series. But I do already have that date. And more importantly the Trajan coin really jumped out at me as beautiful and perfect for the only ancient collecting project I'm currently working on: A silver Denarius of each ruler from the Nerva-Antonine Dynasty. So far I have Hadrian, Commodus and Antoninus Pius. Trajan happens to be one that I need.

    I want in. What a generous giveaway with such a great selection to choose from. It became a bit harder to choose after I saw you added a Trajan but I am staying with my first choice.
    Coin B Hamburg 8 Schilling. A nice looking coin I haven't seen before.
    Here is a German States, Saxony 1763.
    Composition Silver (.833)
    Weight 28.8 g
    Diameter 43 mm

    This is an extra bonus entry for @medoraman, who just shelled out money to buy a copy of @mlov43's new book that I will give away on Collectors Universe later (we're also giving away a copy here, on CT.)

    In recognition of that gesture (no good deed goes unpunished), here's an extra ticket in the drawing for you, @medoraman. If you win based off this entry, you can always change your mind on the prize pick and choose something other than the Walker. (You'd have been allowed that option to change your mind at the last minute anyway, should your other entry have won the drawing.)

    Well, now that's neat, @AdamL. Cool coincidence!

    Here's an extra bonus entry in the drawing for you, to increase your odds just a little bit.

    I want in. I would like the denarius because I used to have one of the same type but had to sell it years ago, i wish I still had it.

    Count me in - I would like the Walker because it would complement my MS63 toned walker in a Hallmark slab (the company it was called before being purchased by PCI).

    And every other secret abracadabra saying to increase my odds. ;)

    Now for the tough part. Rob, I need to play the fickle request. If chosen, my selection could be the Denarius because that puppy is suhweet! But I'm suffering that plague of a conundrum called ficklenessitis. Right now I'd also like the white walker.

    What to do, oh what to do....

    Count me in! The Ancient seems a bit Lascivious for my taste; I’m rather fond of the regifted Hamburger, because to me it’s emblematic of a silly Old World Creature known as The Jabberwocky adorned with The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.

    I want in (and I’m feeling lucky).
    Novice logic to follow.
    Coin C would be a great first slabbed coin to own. But I might win a slab in an upcoming auction. Then if I won this drawing it wouldn’t be my first. It will probably find a better home down the road.
    Coin B is very cool. I spent part of my childhood in Heidelberg. And again, if an auction item goes my way, I could be starting a “collection” of sorts. But all that coming together would require a lot of luck.

    So I’m sticking with my first thought.
    Coin A is my choice. Trajan would be a great first ancient.

    I would like coin A if I win. It would be my oldest coin by at least 1,654 years, and cool to have something Roman.

    Here is our invisible cat, waiting on the frosty deck to be let in.

    I'd really like that World Category (Coin B) Hamburg silver 8-schilling of Charles VI
    Yes, I want it!

    I have a comparable 1945 P Walker and a nice Trajan that is similar.
    Amazing giveaway contest! Thank you!

    I’d love to give that Walker a new home! The old slab increases its appeal to me.

    Thanks for the contest Me Lord!

    Count me in, I'm partial to the German coin, for the castle/knight helmet/double headed eagle on the design. Would go nicely with my Wildman Taler.
    Thanks for the opportunity!
