[CLOSED] LordM Giveaway #122 (pick your prize)

LordM Giveaway #122 (pick your prize)
Contest status: CLOSED
Drawing: 3 March 2025
Winner: @The Half Dime
Shipped: 7 March 2025
Winner's receipt: pending



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 Gallery.

2. Post an entry here, stating which prize 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.

PS- I made a lot of new purchases at the FUN show in January; many of which are intended as future giveaway prizes, but which have not yet been added to the Giveaway Gallery as of this typing (2/1/25). See the note in Post #2 for even more prize goodies to choose from!

However, if you are entering on someone else's behalf (which you may do), 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 Gallery, so if you win the drawing, you'll be given a chance to change your mind at the end, 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 that 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")

Our "spokescritters" for this contest are Teddy, Grace, and Lucy, seen here frolicking in the first snow that had fallen in the Golden Isles in 36 years.

"Hey! What's all this white stuff?!?"​

 

NOTE: as of this typing (2/1/25), none of the new purchases I made for the giveaways has yet been added to the Giveaway Gallery. I hope to do that throughout the month. If you would like to browse through my entire (long) report from the FUN show in January, you may take note of anything I mentioned in there as being earmarked for future giveaway prizes, and choose one of those items as your prize, even though they are not yet as of this post added to the Giveaway Gallery.

(No, you can’t have any of the gold coins I also bought for my own collection at the show, or the $50,000+ trophy coins some of the dealers let me hold.)

Additionally, I have also recently acquired ten different one-ounce silver bullion coins and silver rounds which are destined to be added to the Giveaway Gallery once I've had time to photograph and individually list them. So if one of those pieces appeals to you, they're also eligible prize picks.

 

Note to myself, later: specifically the 1818 large cent.

There is at least one later-date large cent I’ll be adding to the prize selection later, so while the 1818 happens to be the only large cent in the Giveaway Gallery as of this post, that will change soon when I add the other(s).

 

Aren’t you forgetting something, Sal?

 

Ah, but which Greek coin?

 

I'll let you know when those are invented.
