    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 different 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 notice of 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")

    Nyatii I like running w/scissors. Makes me feel dangerous

    I will try again: Crusader States: ca. 1163-1201 AD silver "helmet" denier of Bohemond III of Antioch.
    This coin sure appeals to me, and now I seen nothing I'd like more. Ha!

    Throwing my entry in!! 1917 Half Dollar :woot:

    My first silver quarter was a 1917, so a half will finish the set nicely. Fingers crossed!

    Put me down for the 1943 steel cent. I'd like that one because the only steel cent I have is rusted. Not something I really look for when I'm buyin

    “Faithless is he who says farewell when the road (to his desired coin) darkens.” ~ Gimli ~ Lord of the Rings, Book 1.
    Unfortunately the darkness here is something that cannot be fought off with an axe: the random number generator!
    LOL
    I still will be going for the MS62 ANACS 1922 Peace Dollar. I do not have a silver slabbed coin (or any slabbed coin in general) and I also do not have a Peace Dollar either, so if I win, I would be covering both bases there.
    Also, @lordmarcovan, you said we could suggest an idea for a coin to add to the prize pool. Well. I have one. Since it is the 250th anniversary of America’s freedom from Great Britain, I would suggest a King George III English Shilling from the late 1700s. Those retail for around $40 in VG-8 grade. While not technically an “American” coin, it is very related to our identities before our independence from England, including the King we were once subjected to.

    Thank you for the suggestion! Also for the LOTR nerdspeak. ;)

    Here’s an extra entry for you, to perhaps appease the Random Number Gods.

    (I’ve heard that chanting can also help.)

    No problem! The LOTR is my favorite book and movie series. I swear I've read all 3 at least 20 times. Next time I will need to get a quote from the Chronicles of Narnia (my 2nd favorite series).
    The extra entry is much appreciated, but I don't think the chanting is really my thing haha!

    I'll enter for a chance at lot# 250907-25, the Canadian 2023 Maple Leaf. I always admired HRM Queen Elizabeth. A great lady, a fine example for the rest of the royals.
