<p>[QUOTE=&quot;USS656, post: 1959797, member: 6641&quot;]I saw these back in November and definitely wanted some.&nbsp; I was hoping to win one on a drawing Patrick Rothfuss offered as part of his Worldbuilders charity give-away (that is open to anyone that donates.) You can visit Thetinkespacks.com or Shirepost.com for more information.</p><p><br /></p><p>They are made by a private mint (Shire Post Mint) owned by Tom Maringer.&nbsp; I first heard of the mint from Tom years ago here on CT.&nbsp; He hooked me up with some nickels with counterstamps back then.</p><p><br /></p><p>In honor of this recent purchase I am going to offer some of the nickels up in the contest section a little later.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rules:</p><ul> <li>The first five people to name a coin in the contest thread (not already mentioned or shown by another CT member including me in this thread)</li> <li>that is used in either story (George R. R. Martin&#039;s Game of Thrones or Patrick Rothfuss&#039;s The Name of the Wind)</li> </ul><p>Will receive a free counterstamped nickel as shown in the contest thread I start. Should be easy to figure out where to find some of the coins used in the stories.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I loved both of these stories and they are both very high on my recommend list.&nbsp; If you read The Name of the Wind you will love the second book A Wise Mans Fear which I feel bested a great 1st book.&nbsp; Someday Mr. Rothfuss will release the 3rd book in the series (I don&#039;t time travel so I don&#039;t know when but I will bet it will be worthy of 5 stars - lol <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ) I really do love when these two hobbies combine and the stories come to life in a small but fun way.&nbsp; Hope you get something out of this thread besides a chance to win a nickel!</p><p><br /></p><p>Best Regards ~ Darryl</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s235.photobucket.com/user/USS656/media/NameoftheWindObv2_zps3e6b1316.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s235.photobucket.com/user/USS656/media/NameoftheWindObv2_zps3e6b1316.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee123/USS656/NameoftheWindObv2_zps3e6b1316.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><a href="http://s235.photobucket.com/user/USS656/media/IMG_9384_zpsf260aa42.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s235.photobucket.com/user/USS656/media/IMG_9384_zpsf260aa42.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee123/USS656/IMG_9384_zpsf260aa42.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><a href="http://s235.photobucket.com/user/USS656/media/FacelessManRev1_zpse6abbbec.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s235.photobucket.com/user/USS656/media/FacelessManRev1_zpse6abbbec.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee123/USS656/FacelessManRev1_zpse6abbbec.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><a href="http://s235.photobucket.com/user/USS656/media/IMG_9382_zps51bf287f.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s235.photobucket.com/user/USS656/media/IMG_9382_zps51bf287f.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee123/USS656/IMG_9382_zps51bf287f.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><a href="http://s235.photobucket.com/user/USS656/media/CopperStarofDorneRev1_zps63b078c9.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s235.photobucket.com/user/USS656/media/CopperStarofDorneRev1_zps63b078c9.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee123/USS656/CopperStarofDorneRev1_zps63b078c9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><a href="http://s235.photobucket.com/user/USS656/media/Books_zpsd9809865.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s235.photobucket.com/user/USS656/media/Books_zpsd9809865.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee123/USS656/Books_zpsd9809865.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
