    Hello, folks, and welcome to my 2026 FUN show Mystery Prize giveaway!

    You see, along with my intrepid travel companion @Randy Abercrombie, I will be attending the 71st annual (2026) Florida United Numismatists (FUN) show in Orlando, just like we did last year. And as before, I intend to make a spectacle of it, and do a live report of my walkthrough on the bourse floor, with lots of pictures!

    While I am at the show, I will purchase a prize coin for this giveaway. As of this initial writing, not even I know what that prize will be! So it will be fun to see what I can find.

    To enter this contest:

    Simply post a suggestion as to what you'd most like to see in a coin prize costing $50 USD or less. The final prize selection will be up to me, of course, but I will read all your suggestions and keep them in mind as I walk the floor at the show. After the show is over, I will reveal the prize I bought, but we will keep the contest open for entries until on or after February 1, 2026, at which time we'll have the random drawing to see who won the prize.

    Naturally I will be wearing my world-famous Holey Coin Hat to the show. Here is a picture of me at the 2025 show:

    For that budget you should be able to pick up a 20th century world silver coin at around spot price. You may even be able to find a graded one.

    I'd say the holey coin hat demands the prize be equally as holey. I'm thinking a Greek or Roman holed coin would be a good fit.

    There will be two mystery prizes given to the lucky winner....... Provided that I get the steak dinner I been craving for a year.

    Some civil war tokens can be had for that price, even slabbed, and that would be a nice prize.
