    @Jersey magic man's prize was shipped on Monday, January 5th. I have not heard from him yet, but I got his address from @Randy Abercrombie. Maybe he will be pleasantly surprised when he learns he won (or when the prize lands in his mailbox).

    My gold arrived today!! And yes, I was surprised to know I won. Now when people ask if I stack gold, I can tell them that I just started. Thank you, Lord M, for all you do for CT.

    Picture to follow.

    Here is the coin I received. I stood a sewing pin up on the right so you can see just how small this gold coin is. I think it is thinner than the pin head but about the same diameter.

    WOW! SO small. Can you image having a pocket full. :jawdrop:
    I one found a Silver 3 cent. I thought it was small also.

    I can't imagine actually using this coin in trade. Getting lost in a seam of clothing or money bag, or a good wind and bye-bye.

    Next to that teeny-weeny Indian gold coin, a 3c silver would look like a manhole cover! :hilarious:

    Yeah, sneeze and you’d blow it away! Good thing it’s in the slab.

    Thanks for the receipt update. Now you’ve started your gold stack, but it’s a very tiny stack indeed! LOL :p

    That kinda adds to the fun, though. Conversation piece, and all that.
