    I'm 16 and currently working on a merc set. I already have the 16D, I just need the 21's and a few common dates. Thanks for the opportunity! ;)

    Oh yeah, also my favorite coin is the Capped Bust half dollar.

    My granddaughter is 9. She saves all her 2009 lincoln cents. Her birth year. She would love a merc dime. Pretty sure she doesn't even know they existed. Thank you

    Alrighty, looks like I got about a 14% chance, but if I quickly do some numbers here.... x-2, 42+56, x/67, sine of 32^2,
    yep looks like the math checks out!

    Last minute entry!

    I'm 15. I think the 1921 Merc you are giving away looks like a very attractive circulated coin with no major dings or hits. The wear is very even, the coin is original, and it looks like it did its time in circulation.

    I have several favorite key dates. I like:

    1926-S Buffalo Nickel
    1843-O Dime
    1864-S Eagle

    I have a VG 1926-S Buffalo and I have an upgrade, an F-VF coming in the mail that I stole bought for $15 BIN. I feel like the 26-S Buffalo is a key that doesn't really get much attention.

    The 1843-O dime is a very scarce coin that is somewhat overshadowed by the 1844 - I will try to buy one sometime soon.

    The 1864-S $10 is known by about 24 examples - it's a coin I can dream about.

    Thank you very much for doing this giveaway - super generous! Merry Christmas!

    I was wondering where you were OmegaRaptor.

    Yes, the 1926-S is indeed an underated coin with such a low mintage. I bought a nice VG one at the 2012 Ontario show which I eventually sold. This was when I was collecting without much focus.

    I like yours, which has much better detail than my previous example.
