    LordM Giveaway #65 (pick your prize)


    This giveaway is brought to you by Mister Bojangles. I did not name Bo after that old song, though I do love the song, too. Actually, I named the cat "Bojangles" by mistake. That's another (kind of dumb) story. I'll tell it if you ask.

    Hello, and welcome to the latest giveaway. :)

    This is my monthly "pick-your-prize" contest for November, 2021.

    To enter this giveaway:

    1. Type the words "entry post" at the top of your entry. You may reply to this thread multiple times, but only one entry post per contestant.

    2. Tell us how you might hypothetically spend your prize voucher if you win. The prize is a $25 ("pick your prize") credit from my inventory. You may always change your mind later, if you actually win. I just like to hear in advance which items people find appealing, and why. If your prize selection(s) total less than $25, I will add additional gift coins to your package to round up the total. You may also choose prize(s) worth more than $25, but would owe me the difference if that is the case. Your prize here is the $25 voucher plus free worldwide shipping.

    Update: thanks to a surprise $25 matching-prize donation from @tibor, the winner of this contest will receive a $50 credit rather than the usual $25! Thank you, @tibor!

    I will try to add some additional items to the inventory list by the end of the month. I remain woefully behind in getting all my new stuff photographed and listed.

    Alternately, if you do not feel like entering the contest on your own behalf, you may nominate another CoinTalk member to receive your prize instead. Just name your designated member. Then if you do win the drawing, your nominee will get the prize credit.

    Entries from international members are welcome. As usual, there is no shipping charge nor any strings attached. Minors, please get your parents' permission to receive items in the mail.

    The random drawing should take place on or around December 1st, 2021, but if it happens to get delayed by my absence, you may consider the contest to still be open and running until I return and announce its closing.

    Numismatic Regards,

    I have always been a fan of early coppers, and this one right here stood out to me.
    I am digging the details on this picture:)

    Good question. I don't exactly know what I would spend my credit on assuming I won. However, that Gallic antoninianus of Victorinus would be my first choice as of now.

    A bit of trivia about "bojangles".. most people think that song is about sammy davis jr, but they couldn't be more wrong... Mr Bojangles was one of sammy's idols... Mr Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. If the name doesn't ring a bell, he was the tall skinny black man that danced with Shirley Temple :D his name was not originaly in the credits but were added years later...

    I like the sound of silver. I have no walking liberty coins. I would spend it on ice cream (hypothetically). It would make a nice addition to my small silver stack.

    And now a bit of trivia about Mister Bojangles the Cat, above (this is the "kind of dumb" story I alluded to in the intro):

    I found Bo when he was a feral kitten living in the bushes behind a Cajun-style fast food chicken restaurant. He was living off scraps the restaurant workers would toss at him when they were taking out the trash. He was a "dumpster kitty".

    Anway, I thought it was a Bojangles restaurant (we had those up in NC when I lived there). So I named him "Bojangles", of course.

    The problem I later realized is that we do not in fact have Bojangles restaurants here in Glynn County, GA. I got my Cajun fast food chains mixed up. Bo was actually captured in a Popeye's parking lot. So he really should have been named "Popeye"! But "Bojangles" stuck. I like the name more anyway.

    Yes, good on you, @tibor!

    @spirityoda - I thought of your Normy and Gucci when I saw this clip recently, which cracked me up. It's part of a whole series of green screen movie parodies this guy does with his cat, OwlKitty. I'm a big OwlKitty fan! Gorgeous cat. Funny clips.
