67 Proof Sets - $800.00 retail value could be a great start for the right person.
You must either be a YN or promise to give this gift to a YN to be eligible to play, friends and family included.
I'll keep this one simple for the both of us 
To win, pick the correct number between 0 & 101, if no one guesses correctly the closest over or under wins.
In the case of ties I will draw the names for the random winner.
One entry per person - Edits disqualified - All else is free game.
Contest ends 5:00 central time, Thanksgiving Day!
Good Luck!
The year was 1621, when the newly arrived Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Indians gathered at Plymouth for an autumn harvest celebration, an event regarded as America's “first Thanksgiving.”
1621 wouldn't fit, 16 & 21 were too obvious so, I went with 62.
@erwindoc With the guess of 64 your player is the winner 
Happy Thanksgiving to all! And thanks to all who participated.

I'm entering this guy!
64 for the contest
Who pays for the shipping?
37.......you pay the freight.
I always miss something
Yes I'll gladly pay for the shipping. Tis the season.
I enjoy gifting other people things ... and I know some kids with at least a passing interest and will find more. I recently even sent a package to a YN on this board, but he and his Dad seemed to go dark right after. Ah well, all we can do is try.
Put me down for #22 and I'll make the comment to find a way to give it ALL away

Meanwhile - Feel free to share any success stories or Thanksgiving traditions. Here's mine on the success front.
Around 15 years back and only 4 after starting my business I was struggling to pay bills etc.etc.etc. I was ready to give up and
so I began to apply for a job with ALL of my competitors here in the Houston area. I had 14 years experience yet no one would hire me. That failure inspired me to work harder, I didn't have much of a choice, right.
Now I make 4 times the amount of what the top of my industry pays.
Just joking. I'll pay the freight. Did I win?
My Thanksgiving tradition, is actually for the Friday after. Whichever of my kids want to (or can) go with me ... we pack up the rig and head out at o'dark for new places unknown. It's kind of a "Thnaks for giving us the ability" thing.
Last year didn't happen with my kids, but I convinced a friend to tag along. We had a great time.
This year my youngest Son (24) wants to join me again ... and I know as he get's older it'll be one of the last times we probably can. Not sure where yet (we're discussing), but I'm sure we'll find a cool place to say we've been.

Not entering but very nice giveaway!👍
I can't believe pursuitofliberty already picked my number- #22. I had that on my baseball jersey for years. Oh well, can I have 67?
Wisdom has been chasing you but, you've always been faster
All right, I'm not believing this - Flackthat just picked 67 - What are the odds of that happening? Just too strange count me out
Wisdom has been chasing you but, you've always been faster
I'll guess 42- have two young guys in mind I'd love to split these between.
Maybe just maybe, it's a sign that you should play.
Come one, come all, including anyone I may have recently offended (Elmer) I have plenty of opinions, rarely humble
@Mizzou Wait a minute. You were a professional ball player? If so, that's really cool.
Very kind gesture. My 9 year old is excited at the chance. Thanks. He guesses 44.
Best regards,
Ron
Nice...no pick here...just want to see the out come.

So nice of you to do. This will definitely inspire some YN's. I have two I'd like these for. I'll guess 92.
Thanks!
Very nice giveaway. Thanks for your kindness.
Thanks guys! I couldn't give it away on the BST, then I thought give away, perfect.
My 4 yr old grandson gets very excited seeing coins...what a cool giveaway. Our Thanksgiving tradition is to always go around the table, everybody says what they're thankful for. 27 is my guess. And special thanks to CoinscratchFever for coming up with this giveaway!
No pic needed, just the promise.

Nice giveaway!
I can't lose if I don't pick a number.
This is true.
Very generous giveaway!
My Grandson will hopefully become a YN, but he’s only 8 months old. I have to wait until he’s old enough to decipher the difference between collecting coins and eating them.
Good luck everyone!

Good on you and a great thing to do for the holidays.
I'll meet the requirements with a few that I have started down the YN path and guess 79
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
My grand kids, 8 and 9. They would have a ball.
Number: 89. of course.

Many thanks for the chance.
92
As good a number as any other one.
BHNC #203
Not professional, just rode around the country in a bus playing other minor league teams. That was forty some years ago, we played against small town farmers and a couple of prison teams (Anything to make a buck). Wouldn't trade the memories for anything.
Wisdom has been chasing you but, you've always been faster
Still very cool.
69...

33 for my kids...you know, because we’re Birds.
Thanksgiving traditions are out the window this year since we can’t travel. Hopefully what we start this year doesn’t stick.
A fun one has always been the Black Friday prep, which has big significance for us because we do “Kids Christmas” on Saturday before everyone has to travel back to other states. Eat T-giving lunch and then everyone tries to figure out what to get each other on sale so we can wrap it by Saturday morning.
I’ll enter my son and go with #17. Thanks!

Love all the bright & shiny faces, mud too
My Grandson Dylan will be 18 so that will be his number.
Thank you for such a generous gift. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas.

BTW, I notice you have several number picks with the same number. #'s 44, 64 and 67.
