    What the heck, maybe I’ll get lucky again. Anyway, here’s one of the few Peace Dollars I own. Looks to have some die cracks through most of LIBERTY and maybe near the eagle’s head as well.

    Found this silly little song to teach young kids about America's limited circulating coinage


    Just think it the late 1870s it could have been 16 coins ;)

    My, that fella who plays the nickel certainly has a prominent chin! Even in Cartoon World, the other toons probably point at him and go, “Man, check out the chin on that dude!”

    The Round 7 drawing might happen a bit later than the 24-hour mark from when the round was posted at 2:26 AM Eastern.

    I am not working overnight tonight, so at that time I might be asleep like a normal person. Then again, I often wake up in the middle of the night on my nights off. Such are the odd circadian rhythms of a night shift worker.

    I’ll do my best to get to it when I can, on Friday morning sometime. I don’t think I’m gonna stay up until 2:26 AM tonight... because I don’t have to!

    Yes! There is a strong family resemblance there, at the very least!

    I had that exact thought.

    “I’m the tiny little trime! Little brother to the half dime!” :singing:

    Certainly would’ve been a more elaborate song-and-dance routine.

    (*That lyric above would have to have been from a pre-1873 edition.)

    :singing:
    Well, sure ‘nuf, here I am, awake at 4:45 AM.

    “Hmm, I wonder what’s next in the contest?”, I asked myself. So I looked at the list Claire gave me, and a certain song popped into my head. :singing:

    Here’s some classic Reggae for the wee hours, and a hint at what’s to come for Lot 8.

    But first we have a drawing to do for Lot 7!

    And now the eighth day is upon us.

    Lot #8.

    It seems the Buffalo herd from Day 5 must have multiplied, because they're back... with eight this time!

    On the eighth day of COINmas, @Penny Luster gave to thee...

    Eight Buffalo nickels: (1) 1935, (5) 1936, and (2) 1937.

    Want 'em? :)

    All you have to do to enter is say "I want those!", and then post something else amusing and cheerful, per Claire's directions:
    After one day has elapsed, we will then have another drawing, and give these coins away, and then we'll move on to the ninth day of Coinmas, which will be a drawing for nine coins!

    Barley was jealous that Malt's had her picture on the thread but she hadn't. Now corrected. :)

    For anyone who didn't see my prize from a recent @lordmarcovan competition, here is Winnie in all his contemplative glory. By the way, he travelled from Georgia to South East Spain in 5 days
