[CLOSED] LordM Giveaway #106 (Twelve Days of COINmas) 2023

@Jersey magic man posted his receipt in another thread. Thanks for the update.

Sorry the chocolate bar didn't travel so well. Hope that's not an issue with the ones I sent to everyone else, but it might be. I stored them in the freezer prior to shipping them.

 

It's time for the Round 8 drawing.

Our lucky number was 243.



Post #243 was by @Travis G .

Coingratulations, @Travis G - you have eight Indian Head cents coming!

I shall of course need your shipping address, and will message you shortly.

Please respond to this thread later, when you have received the prize, so I can update the

Round summary in Post #1.

 

So now we come to Round 9, meaning there will be nine coins in the lot.



Lordmarcovan gave to thee...



(9) Assorted silver War nickels.

Loose circulated: One dateless (worn slick), one 1942-P, one 1943-P, one 1944-P, two 1945-P, one 1945-D, one 1945-S.

In a flip: one Choice AU+ 1943-P with minor laminations.

In other words, one is junk, one is nice, and the rest are average.

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.

Round summary in Post #1.

 

I’d have to put the coin under a loupe to tell you, and I don’t have it with me right now. It was originally in a cardboard Mylar holder that someone had labeled “BU / laminations”. I did briefly put it under a loupe at home- enough to tell that it’s a just a slider AU rather than full BU. I didn’t see any major laminations, but as I recall, there were some very slight ones on the reverse. Which of course is not uncommon on War nickels.

IF I remember later, I’ll take some closer pics.

In any event, I did not find the laminations on the coin (if any) to be all that noteworthy. It’s just a nice AU that looks UNC at a glance.

 

I can’t remember offhand.

 

Wow, and there are exactly nine ballerinas in that photo. Well done!

 

Yep. There appears to be a small lamination under the second window from the left on Monticello. That's all I notice. It's not much to speak of, but it's there. I note also that the coin has nice squared-off rims, almost like a proof would have, though I doubt it is an impaired proof. It is lustrous but not mirrored.

(I attempted to take better pics of it, but failed miserably.)
