Winner of the Charles II 3d is pendragon1998!!
Since there were so many contestants I've decided to add a few runner-up prizes, they'll be a surprise
Winners of these are:
JCMhouston
DCH
OchoReales
JimK
goossen
PM me your address, guys, and I'll get these out to you!
I hope everyone had fun and thanks to all who participated! Remember, there's still the Never Ending Giveaway going on too, so if you didn't win here you can be sure to get some goodies there
We don't have nearly enough giveaways here anymore!
Just post to enter!
EDIT - not to make this thread SSP, but in fairness I should mention that I added the chance for two entries in this drawing in my BST thread.
Here's the loot:
I just remembered I won this from Lloyd years ago. Here's what he had to say about it:
"Error reads OAROLVS. Reported as 'C over O' but more likely to be C over inverted C (as some farthings from period)."
Now the question.. what's it worth?
I've listed it on ebay a few times now with what I thought were modest starts, most recently $35, only to get not a single bite. I've seen low end 3 pence of that date sell from $30 to $80+, so I thought with the extra coolness of this one that'd be fair... guess karma was trying to remind me this was a giveaway coin
I'm just curious on the value, no need to answer that to enter.
Winner to be selected by random number next Sunday.

Whats it worth....hard to say using ebay guidelines.I watch this type of coin regularly , theres no real rhyme or reason to bids,ive seen coins that go for $180 one week go for $70 the next.
I would have thought your estimate of approx $30 has to be in the ballpark for that one.

I love it, but I must confess I'd probably end up selling it anyway, since it's outside my core focus collections. So don't enter me unless you feel like it.
If you do, and I win, I pledge a giveaway of equal value.
Edit: aaargh. I like it. Please enter me. I am just too tempted by that black-n'-white CircCam-iness. If I win, I will give away something nice.
Today's been a bad day. Since I'm still up at 5:22, I'll give it a shot. Think the 3d would look good with my 4d?
I'll take a guess at $30 value, but I'm not sure.
Maybe I should mention free shipping for forum members on anything over $10 or $1 otherwise.
(Not that anyone ever reads beyond the first post in a giveaway )

That is a nice 4d, Michael! I've always liked the stylized monogram as denom on these

Hey, thanks so much for the Charles II giveaway! I was really hoping to put that cool error next to the 4d. I can't wait to see it in-hand. I need to put together another giveaway myself sometime soon.
