    I always like to cater to the 7070 collectors. Folks after my own heart. I did the 7070 2-1/2 times, back in the day, before I switched to slabs.

    Well, I'm still going for Lot #250906-06 Crusader States: ca. 1163-1201 AD silver "helmet" denier of Bohemond III of Antioch, as it still calls to me, Rob.

    I have the same shirt. Washed it once and now doesn't fit right. I'll give it to one of my club members. It tells it like it is. Regards, Mike.

    Please count me in on this contest. If i am fortunate enough to win, i think I'll go for the pair of silver dollars your sister contributed to the prize pool. I've always loved well worn coins that have done yeoman's service to commerce(or perhaps the Peace dollar was just unlucky enough to be stuck in a casino for years?!?)
    Thank you as always for running these contests.

    I would love to have Giveaway Lot: #250907-13. I've always wanted a Peace Dollar to add to my collection, and I don't have a graded coin either.

    I'm in.

    I'd like the German white gilt porcelain medal. It's a bit obscure (which I've come to love) and it would be my first porcelain numismatic item as well as my largest. I chose it over the other porcelain medal because it's a bit scarcer and white seems to be a less common color than reddish-brown.


    Speaking of obscure...

    Since I will be away from my desk on Sunday the 1st, I have decided to do the drawing a day early: today, Saturday February 28th.

    Our lucky number was... 6.

    upload_2026-2-28_1-45-7.png

    Post #6 was by @Tall Paul ... on behalf of @Jersey magic man !
    @Jersey magic man expressed his prize choice later:
    Good on you for your kindness, @Tall Paul, and COINgratulations, @Jersey magic man!

    Unless you opt to change your mind and select a different prize, this is what you have won:

    Giveaway Lot #250907-26

    Great Britain: 2023 silver 2-pounds of Charles III, Britannia bullion coin (1 ounce, .999 fine)
    [​IMG]

    Numista-353110. KM-2370.

    A Gem Mint State Britannia bullion coin. This issue was the second Charles III Britannia type for 2023 (the first, issued for his coronation that year, featured a crowned portrait instead of the bare head seen here). The design of this coin incorporates many of the modern security features (contoured backgrounds, micro text, etc.).

    1 ounce, .999 fine. In a plastic capsule. Most if not all of the faint scuffs seen in the photos are on the plastic, not the coin.

    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    @Jersey magic man - as usual, I will need your shipping address and will message you shortly. Please remember to post a notice in this thread later, after you have received the coin, so we'll all know you got it. :)

    Nah, his birthday appears to be in November. But he's been racking up the contest wins, for sure. Thanks to @Tall Paul, this time.

    Good choice, that Britannia. That is the only Charles III British coin I have owned so far.

    Edit: Oh, I see what you mean now. It is @Tall Paul's birthday, not @Jersey magic man's!

    Happy Birthday, @Tall Paul! Your birthday luck rubbed off on @Jersey magic man!
