    Civil War tokens with ships on them would fit nicely in the price range (at least last that I knew).

    I didn’t read all of the posts but a 2019-W Cent would be a nice giveaway prize.

    The mystery prize was announced in Post #36, and as it happens, there IS a Civil War token in the 3-piece lot. It doesn't have a ship on it, though.

    The FUN show is over, so the prize has been bought.

    The final prize lot consists of three pieces:
    • An 1863 Civil War token (Indian Head/"IOU")
    • A 1999 Lincoln cent, off-center error, ANACS MS66 Red, in an old soap bar holder
    • A 2026 FUN show medal

    Sorry the late addition of the prize has caused some confusion. When I posted the original post, I had no idea what the prize(s) were going to be, obviously.

    I missed that. But the Civil War token is neat.

    I ventured over to my CU account too and posted.

    Thanks. I try. It is a labor of love. I spent a little more than the stated fifty bucks on this prize lot, but not too much more.

    Since I will be out of the office over the weekend, I have decided to do the drawing on the 31st instead of the 1st.

    So here we go.

    Our lucky number was...11.

    And Post #11 was by... @tibor!

    OK, you will recall that people entered this particular contest by suggesting a prize for me to buy at the FUN show. What that prize ended up being was this 3-piece lot:

    • A cool 1863 “IOU” token (mislabeled as a “Hard Time(s)” token but it’s a Civil War token)
    • A lusterbomb 1999 MS66 RD off-center cent in an old ANACS soapbar holder, and
    • A prooflike 2026 FUN show medal.

    COINgratulations, @tibor! So that's your loot. :woot:

    OR... Per your suggestion, however, I did buy a Seated quarter at the show, so if you would rather have that, you may. Click here to see it.

    OR... If you prefer, you may pick any lot from my regular giveaway inventory instead. (There are a lot of new additions to the list- now three pages of stuff to choose from.)

    So make your final prize choice and let me know! I shall message you shortly for a reminder of your address.

    As per usual, do please post to this contest thread later after you have received your prize, so we will all know you got it.

    Numismatic Regards,
    ~Robertson ("Rob") Shinnick ("LordM")
