    Hello, everyone, and welcome to the latest giveaway. This one is actually brought to you by @Dafydd, who sent me a big, fun package full of stuff to give away. Since space is at a premium in my safe deposit boxes where I keep all my stuff, I'm giving this coin away first, but stay tuned for the rest of his goodies in future giveaways! I have also purchased quite a few new prizes for the upcoming contests.

    To enter this contest: all you need to do is say you want in.

    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.

    The prize is this 2011 Great Britain Royal Wedding £5 commemorative coin, still sealed in the Royal Mint case and outer packaging. The packaging doesn’t reveal the other side of the coin, but we all know it’s QE2 on there. The type is Numista-19996.

    Totally free: the contest is free of charge, open to everyone, with free worldwide shipping. The only further requirement is that 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")

    Hanz, Cindy, Fred, Zoe Zoe, and Rika were the names of 60 years worth of dachshunds in my parents' homes.

    I'm going to designate @masterswimmer grandson as my proxy.

    I'm in for this prize. I would gift it to my wife since she just loves the Royal Family. :)

    I'll jump in on this one for the grand, and also to bump it up for more entries.

    Hmm. Not a whole lot of entries in this contest, so the odds look pretty good for @masterswimmer's grandson, @SensibleSal66's wife, or @beaver96's wife. ;)

    Unless someone else joins in, y'all each have a 1 in 3 chance to win!

    It's bad enough that we talk to our pets. Especially Cats. Mine is clueless. The other day I caught him staring at the wall. However, my dog is a sharp as a tack. He actually responds to the word, "mailman".

    Since I will be out of the office over the weekend, I decided to do the drawing on the 31st instead of the 1st. So without further ado...

    Our lucky number was... 2!

    And Post #2 was by @Tall Paul ... on behalf of @masterswimmer's grandson! :)

    Good on you, @Tall Paul, and COINgratulations to your grandson, @masterswimmer! He has a coin a-comin'!

    Pretty sure I've got your address, but I'll message you anyway.

    As usual, please post a receipt notice after the prize is received. (And IF you felt like it, a picture of the lad with his loot would be really fun. But only if you feel like it.)

    I was thinking something edible, :woot:

    Diamonds are sorta edible, I guess, if you try hard enough. Kinda crunchy, though...
