    LordM Giveaway #106 (Twelve Days of COINmas) 2023

    Contest status: CLOSED

    Drawings & shipping status: see round summary below

    Hello, everyone, and welcome to my holiday giveaway. We'll be revisiting the "Twelve Days of COINmas" theme, meaning there will be twelve rounds and twelve drawings for twelve prize lots.

    The lots will increase in size sequentially. There will be one coin the first day, two coins the second day, three coins the third day, and so on, all the way down to twelve coins on the twelfth day. The game "days" (rounds) will happen every 2-4 days or so, between Thanksgiving and Christmas, with perhaps an occasional pause in between.

    To enter: go to the round summary below or see the most recent posts to see what's in play. Want the lot that's up for grabs? Just say you want it, then post something else coin-related or cheerful, if you like. You can still enter on someone else's behalf if you don't want a lot for yourself. Simply name the person you'd like to receive it.

    The drawings will be held in twelve rounds, with one drawing every 2-4 days or so, depending on my schedule. Just check the round summary or the most recent posts to see what's in play and where we are in the contest.

    Totally free: the contest is free of charge, open to everyone, with free worldwide shipping. The only obligation is that I ask that if you win, please post to this thread later, when you have received the prize, so that we'll know you got it (that helps me keep track).

    Good luck!

    Numismatic regards,

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

    This year all of the prize lots will be United States coins.

    The lots are modest in value, but there will be a good many coins given away over the course of the twelve rounds:

    1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12 = 78 coins total.

    (1) Ornate love token hand-engraved on a high grade 1898 Indian cent.

    The host coin has Choice AU+ details. It was likely engraved in 1898 or not long afterward. The script initials include J, R and S. Really a nice piece, if love tokens are your cup o' tea. (I've always liked them, because each one is as unique and individual as a snowflake.)

    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.

    Yes, please, I want in. I'm working on a IHC set because 8 years ago I came upon some bad times and had to sell my set. This is my favorite one that I have now.

    Thanks, Rob. With all you've got going on at this time, I'm stunned that you,
    1- have the time to run another giveaway, and
    2- have the wherewithal to run such an involved 12 drawing giveaway.

    You're unbelievable.

    I'd like in, for @ryanroscheck

    That IHC truly has a sweet obverse. And the reverse is tastefully and skilfully done. I just don't have the interest in love tokens.

    Good luck Ryan!

    I want this lot

    As always, thank you LM and hope the family is coping and Father-in-law is doing better.

    I don't have a single love token and that is a nice one.

    I only have 4 or 5 Indian Cents at the most. This is my type coin set representative.
