    The book arrived in great shape due to Chris B's superior packing skills. Thank you all once again and especially Dano for naming me as their proxy.

    Just a quick post to let you know that I did receive the package a few days ago. I got busy with life, and completely forgot to post this.

    Thank you @Dafydd for the wonderful prize, and the bonuses! Now, I have to find a way to display this coin, and postcard! Oh, woe is me! And, I have to put the One Pound coin in a special place, also!

    Thanks @lordmarcovan for another successfully run contest!

    Glad you liked them @Eric Babula and thank you @lordmarcovan for all the work you do around these giveaways.
    A point of interest, and in an idle moment, I calculated the journey this coin has made logging each journey from its original minting to arriving with you. It travelled from the "New World" to Spain, captured by the British , across the Atlantic another three times and finally Wisconsin. Conservatively it has travelled 25,225 miles or more than a circumnavigation of the Earth! It's been in the hands of the Spanish, British and now an American and has travelled by Sea, road and air. This must be some sort of record!

    Yikes! :nailbiting:

    The drawing on this final round was due a week ago, on April 4th, so we’re a week overdue! :sorry:

    And unfortunately I do not currently have time to do the honors (you see, I prefer to do all that hyperlinking and stuff with a real keyboard and mouse, not my phone).

    Sorry- I’ve just had too many irons in the fire lately. I’ll get this contest caught up as soon as I can, and in the meantime, we’re still open for any last-minute entries that might trickle in.

    After that, I might delay the launch of CTF4 for a little while.

    No worries, Rob. The Buffalo has been patiently waiting in the corral.

    I will now apologize for the upcoming delay in CTF Giveaway #4. Since I've got a fair amount of distractions right now, I am going to wait a little bit before I roll that one out, OK?

    Okay, but no need to apologize. I'm probably the only one listening. It's way too early for the other Ladies/ Gentlemen to wake up. Won't be long though.
    I'm eager to see the next coin though. I have a meeting tonight. I hope I don't miss it.....

    Hey @alhenry92 when you get the Buffalo inhand check it for an RPM, and OMM. The MM position looks like it could be one.

    Will do! :) I was going to ask if that's Frasier's initial but it doesn't look like an F to me under the date
