    Nice "Merc"!
    If I win, you can trade me it for a Connecticut Commemorative. Okay? ;)

    Thanks for the extra spot in this giveaway. I only have one commemorative and that is the Oregon Trail. I think it is just a fantastic design.

    Still no word from @MeowtheKitty regarding his Round 8 win, which he is still unaware of, having not been on the site since December 12th.

    We’ll give him until January 27th (a month from the R8 drawing) to claim his prize.

    Apologies to our R8 donor, @masterswimmer, for being stuck in limbo until then.

    Well, folks, this has been a blast, but now that we're well into 2026, it is time to wrap up COINmas 2025. You will recall that this contest, which started last Thanksgiving, was originally intended to close around Christmas Day of 2025, but it ended up "running long". I don't know about you, but I think the added overtime was fun. :)

    But now... 'tis time for the final drawing: Round 12.

    banner- day 12.png

    Our lucky number was... 385.

    upload_2026-1-13_3-30-26.png

    And Post #385 was by... @dwhiz!

    COINgratulations, @dwhiz!

    You have won yourself a heckuva nice commemorative half from @BuffaloHunter! He will need your shipping address, of course. I shall message y'all shortly.

    @BuffaloHunter - as usual, please post a shipping notice here after you mail it.

    @dwhiz - please post a receipt here when you have received it.

    :)

    I must say thanks to @lordmarcovan and @BuffaloHunter for the contest. And much to my surprise I won. I did send Buffalo Hunter my shipping address.

    Back home again. Here are some pics. of the gifts @BuffaloHunter was kind enough to give me.
    The original prize is an NGC MS-65 1943 Steel cent. I cannot tell you how different it looks from the "Gem" steel cents I bought when i was 12; so i took a picture instead. The one doing it's impersonation of a galvanized washer is my childhood coin. (I have 49 more of those).

    @BuffaloHunter also enclosed 4 tokens, (picture here). I hope he will not be offended if I regift those. My daughter is head librarian for 3 small towns and always on the hunt for "prizes" to give away in her childrens reading programs. The minute she asked; they were given; because otherwise they wil just get lost in the messs I call an office.
