Ok, here's the scoop. Just post to enter. I'll draw at least five mystery coin or medal winners starting the evening after the following two things are true:
a) I hit 500 or more messages here, AND
b) my daughter makes me a grandpa for the first time. (We expect b. literally any day) image

I've also recently passed 555 positives at 100% at eBay with a total of 1100+ positive feedbacks...

BTW, the prizes are picked at random as well as the mystery coins. Eventually, they'll recycle... image

Winner #1 is hookedoncoins!
The mystery coin is a hand-struck medal from the 1848 French Revolution:
image

Winner # 2 is refrema!
Another mystery choice guy! This is actually an 1834 medal struck in Strassburg:
image

Appropriately enough, Winner #3 is stork!
A woman who knows a nice little coin when she sees it:
image

Winner #4 is laurentyvan!
Another who chooses to stick with a good thing:
image

Winner #5 is spoon!
And the mystery coin is the one ounce toned round from 1973:
image

Winner #6 is ante!
Another mystery choice man, this is a beautiful medal struck in the early 1820s:
image

The last winner is colinCMR! Congrats and please PM me your address...

Thanks everyone for playing; I've had fun and I'm looking forward to spoiling the newest collector in our house... image

    image to grandparenthood. image Once he/she arrives you'll find out that the best thing about grandkids is that you can spoil the heck out of them, then hand them back to their parents (grandchildren are the best revenge).image

    Frankly, if I'd known how great they are, I would have had them first!image

    Zdenek Dominick D'Argo McCrea made his appearance this morning and everyone is just fine! Pics to follow but he was 8 pounds 8 1/2 ounces (3900 grams for our metric friends), 21 inches long and arrived at precisely 7:36am Pacific US time. Three more items to give away starting with (drum-roll) spoon!
