    Turnaround is fair play, so I give up my chance to @No Ragrets. Here's hoping!

    Twelve days left until Christmas and we’ve still got six rounds left to go (plus the remainder of Round 5).

    Given my intention of having a drawing every 2-4 days, this means we’ll either have to shorten the intervals to finish in time by Christmas (Option 1), or…

    (Option 2) Just not worry about the Christmas deadline and keep the rounds a normal length, even if that means the contest continues into late December.

    I’m for the second option, as longer rounds suit my schedule a bit better, and also, given the somewhat slower participation, it allows more folks a chance to find their way here. What say ye?

    We can play it either way.

    I like option two as well. The last round could be someone’s Happy New Year.

    I'll throw down my vote for whatever suits your schedule best, Rob. If one round is more convenient for you to draw in one day, great. In two days, awesome. In three days, magnifico.

    I think option 2 keeps with the spirit of this contest and allows more folks to enter.

    Option 2 it is, then. We’ll keep the rounds 3-4 days long and let the festivities run on past Christmas.

    Another chance for @masterswimmer Grandkid. A great present for under the tree.
    Doing a little inventory control and found a couple seasonal rounds.

    It is time for the Round 5 drawing.

    Our lucky number was... 121.

    upload_2025-12-16_0-50-28.png

    And Post #121 was by ... @mrbadexample!

    COINgratulations, @mrbadexample! You have won the 1943 Mercury dime and Walking Liberty half combo from @Eric the Red! He will need your shipping address, but since I have that from your recent win of Tibor's denar giveaway, I will provide it to him, and message you both shortly.

    @Eric the Red - please post a message to this thread as confirmation when you've shipped the prize. It will be an international shipment (to the UK), so if you would like me to pitch in a little on the added expenses, just message me.

    @mrbadexample - as usual, if you would, please post a receipt to this thread when you receive the prize.

    COINgrats @mrbadexample. You seem to be on quite the lucky streak. Nice!!!

    As for the international shipping....if @Eric the Red would like any contribution to pay for the shipping, please leave @lordmarcovan out of it. He's given infinitely more than necessary to this community. I'll pick up the shipping if you would like any help with it. Just PM me and I'll send it right on over.

    Merry and Happy to everyone!
