“Twelve Days of COINmas”, 2025 Brought to you by: @JoshuaP @Randy Abercrombie @Eric the Red @masterswimmer @lordmarcovan @BuffaloHunter Contest status: OPEN - this contest began on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 2025, and will run until around Christmas Day, December 25, 2025. Drawings & shipping status: see round summary below. Note: this will be a rather long contest consisting of twelve random drawings. Please take a moment to read the introduction below. There will be a series of handy links at the bottom of this introductory post that you can use to see where we are in the contest, and hop to the latest ongoing round. You may join in at any time. Hello, everyone, and welcome to our holiday giveaway. Just like in 2024, 2023, and 2022, we will be revisiting the "Twelve Days of COINmas" theme, meaning there will be twelve rounds and twelve drawings for twelve prize lots. The game "days" (rounds) will happen with random drawings every 2-4 days or so, between Thanksgiving and Christmas, with perhaps an occasional pause between rounds. To enter: go to the round summary below to view the links to the most recent announcement and 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. You can 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 @lordmarcovan's 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 we 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 us keep track). Good luck! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ SUMMARY OF THE ROUNDS Round 1- OPEN Donor: @JoshuaP Prize announcement: 27 November 2022 Drawing: pending Winner: pending Winner's receipt: pending Round 2- NOT YET OPEN Donor: @JoshuaP Prize announcement: pending Drawing: pending Winner: pending Winner's receipt: pending Round 3- NOT YET OPEN Donor: @Randy Abercrombie Prize announcement: pending Drawing: pending Winner: pending Winner's receipt: pending Round 4- NOT YET OPEN Donor: @Randy Abercrombie Prize announcement: pending Drawing: pending Winner: pending Winner's receipt: pending Round 5- NOT YET OPEN Donor: @Eric the Red Prize announcement: pending Drawing: pending Winner: pending Winner's receipt: pending Round 6- NOT YET OPEN Donor: @Eric the Red Prize announcement: pending Drawing: pending Winner: pending Winner's receipt: pending Round 7- NOT YET OPEN Donor: @Eric the Red Prize announcement: pending Drawing: pending Winner: pending Winner's receipt: pending Round 8- NOT YET OPEN Donor: @masterswimmer Prize announcement: pending Drawing: pending Winner: pending Winner's receipt: pending Round 9- NOT YET OPEN Donor: @lordmarcovan Prize announcement: pending Drawing: pending Winner: pending Winner's receipt: pending Round 10- NOT YET OPEN Donor: @BuffaloHunter Prize announcement: pending Drawing: pending Winner: pending Winner's receipt: pending Round 11- NOT YET OPEN Donor: @BuffaloHunter Prize announcement: pending Drawing: pending Winner: pending Winner's receipt: pending Round 12- NOT YET OPEN Donor: @BuffaloHunter Prize announcement: pending Drawing: pending Winner: pending Winner's receipt: pending ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
11/13/25: I have edited the round lineup slightly, due to some extra prize additions by the donors. I would like to recognize @Eric the Red and @BuffaloHunter here. Each of them went way over the top with their contributions, taking three rounds each... and they've put up some very nice prizes in those rounds! Stay tuned! Thanks to everyone else who stepped up as well. See you on Thanksgiving!
@JoshuaP gave to thee... (2) Ancient coins (1) mostly-full Canadian small cent folder starting at 1920 (50 approx.) World coins, old and new To enter this round, all you need to do is: 1.
