    Greetings, everyone, and Happy (almost) Halloween!

    Let's do another fun "mystery" giveaway, shall we? ;)

    There will be two prizes here, and two separate drawings.

    The prizes are a mystery, and will be revealed after the drawings.

    To enter: you must simply choose either "Trick" (Lot 1) or "Treat" (Lot 2).

    Lot 1 (the "Trick") is not even really a coin. You see, it is rather an imitation of one, and it bears a "COPY" stamp on it. And yet, it is still desirable in a way. How? That's the trick. You have to wait and see.

    Lot 2 (the "Treat") is a classic United States Type coin. It is in low grade but it is over 200 years old. That's the "treat" aspect. Despite it being a Halloween prize, it is not too spooky looking. Just well worn.

    Are you bold enough to choose "trick" over "treat"? Should be fun either way.

    Random drawing on Halloween night (or shortly thereafter, should something arise in my schedule).

    Good luck!

    Numismatic regards,

    ~Robertson ("Rob") Shinnick ("LordM")

    Lot 2. My oldest is 1856 (US coins) right now so this would be a paradigm shift and would be quite a special treat.

    Treat!, because I like collecting U.S. coins!
    My oldest U.S. coin right now is an 1833 Seated Liberty Dime.
    Great contest idea! Thanks for the chance @lordmarcovan!

    That sounds like a Capped Bust dime, if it’s 1833! Always nice to have.

    So far we’ve had two who bravely chose “trick” instead of “treat”! ;)

    Don’t worry- both are fun prizes, in their own way.

    Oooooooooooo...of course the "trick", even though you have dogs, you can't send burning paper bags through the mail.

    It’s not colonial. But it is pre-1823.
