    Thank you Lord Marcovan and also all of the donors, this was the most fulfilling event for me in many years. As mentioned in another post, thanks to the generosity of you all I was able to visit the Children's Hospital and make a small donation in memory of my sone, in the name of all here at CT.

    Now something the kiddies of Dawson, Canby & Madison will have to do without is the final gift from @BuffaloHunter . I posted about this in a @SensibleSal66 thread earlier but deserves repeat mention. Here is a 1993 Tribute dollar to Thomas Jefferson. I am a hardcore populist and he is the "THE" populist. I don't know how @BuffaloHunter knew to send this or if it was just dumb luck but I will treasure this.

    No offense taken at all, James. The gifts are yours to do as you please. I rather like that they get out into the wild, that's why I give them away!

    I just received the 1947D MS66 nickel from round ten. But WOW that was not the only thing I received! I was also gifted from Buffalohunter a PR70 DCAM Statue of Liberty Centennial half dollar AND two fireman tokens (challenge coins?) AND two round "tuits" (which being lazy and retired are needed...I gave them to my wife to give back to me when she needs something done).
    A big thank you to @lordmarcovan and @BuffaloHunter for running and donating to the giveaway, and to @No_Ragrets for giving me the winning spot in the number generator. I am going to the casino tomorrow in hopes these wins point the way to a lucky year.

    That leaves only one last bit of unfinished business from COINmas 2025.

    Unfortunately, despite the passage of more than a month now, @MeowtheKitty has never shown back up to claim his prize from Round 8. (He was last seen on December 12th).

    This puts the ball in the donor, @masterswimmer's, court. I am awaiting word from him on whether or not we will do a new Round 8 drawing (from amongst the folks who entered it at the time), or whether he (@masterswimmer) will opt to wait indefinitely for the return of @MeowtheKitty.

    I think a new drawing is probably in order, so as to not keep poor @masterswimmer waiting forever.

    OK, per @masterswimmer's instruction, it is now time for the RE-drawing for a (new) Round 8 winner.

    Our
    new winning number was... 263.

    upload_2026-1-28_6-51-2.png

    And Post #263 was by... @beaver96!

    COINgratulations, @beaver96! You have won @masterswimmer's Round 8 lot, which was originally a mystery, but was later revealed in Post #281.

    @masterswimmer will need your mailing address, obviously. I shall message y'all shortly.

    Please remember to post here later, after you receive the goodies, and then we'll be able to finally wrap COINmas 2025 up for the archives.

    If @MeowtheKitty should (hopefully) return someday and lament his lost opportunity, I have it on good authority that, though he lost out on the Round 8 prize, @masterswimmer will still come up with some kind of consolation prize for him. (And I offered to chip in on that, but @masterswimmer said he’ll have it covered.)

    So here’s hoping we see Meow again someday, when he’s ready to return.

    masterswimmer A Caretaker, can't take it with me

    So @beaver96, this prize lot includes:

    - 2015 1 oz. SILVER LBJ medal**, the LBJ $1 coin and stamp

    And

    - 2016 1 oz. SILVER American Liberty medal

    ** There is an ERROR included on the printing next to the LBJ silver medal. The printing describes the reverse of the medal as having the date of LBJ's inauguration of January 22, 1965.

    In actuality it should read the reverse has the date LBJ took office on November 22, 1964. That is the date inscribed on the medal itself.

    So @beaver96, you get two 1 oz SILVER pieces and an 'error', of some sort.
