    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 goodies list.

    2. Come back here to post an entry, stating which prize lot 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.

    Alternately, you could enter on someone else's behalf. Just name them. In that case, 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 goodies list, so if you win the drawing, you'll be given a chance to change your mind later, 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.

    Click the pic below to view the prize list.

    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...

    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")

    Something we call, "Rolly Poley Olie", when the cat or dog rolls on their back like this. Oh, so cute!

    Giveaway Lot #250907-24

    The hurricane Helene item. I used to live in this area and some of my favorite places there were sadly damaged. This is a reminder of how fragile our world can be. I hope this gentleman has recovered and is doing well. Thanks for opportunity.

    I'm still going to choose the 1922 Peace Dollar Dollar ANACS MS62 (Lot # 250907-13), as I have the past two months. I am still looking for my first slabbed silver coin, and next to Morgans, Peace dollars are awesome. Thank You!

    Lucky #7 entry. I would like to get the 5-dollar Canadian coin. The one with the Cougar. Giveaway Lot #250907-23.
    Why? I don't have one and beside US coins, I have a small collection of coins from Canada.

    Today is Chesney’s fifth birthday and we came down to the Twin Cities to do some shopping tomorrow. Chesney loves road trips and hotel stays. Poppa bought her a guitar for her birthday.

    Happy Birthday Chesney! My dog (6 Yrs. old) hates car rides (very nervous). Mostly because it means a trip to the doctors. Hotel stays? That wouldn't work out either for Us.
    He likes to steal things from Us knowing he'll get a treat in exchange for whatever he has in his mouth.

    I'm always intrigued by these old silver coins.
    305 years ago someone hand struck this cob and sent it on it's journey...

    Technically that one's a milled piece and not a cob, but yes, it's from that same era when a lot of cobs were struck.

    Enter me please for the 1967 Canada Set.

    I keep trying for this set. I really like the 1967 designs for the Goose Dollar and Wolf half.

    Thanks for the contest!

    If that Canadian silver ounce with the leopard is still available, I would like to cast my lot in again for that one. I like it because it's big, it's silver, and it has a cat.
    Thank you, sir!

    @Eric Babula and @BuffaloHunter donated some new goodies for the prize gallery, but I haven't yet photographed them or added them to the list. Maybe I'll get that done by the end of the month.
