My 11th Board Birthday - Giveaway

in Precious Metals
So it's been 11 years since I found this place. Don't remember how, but it's been a long, strange, insightful trip.

Giveaway time: I have an object here on my desk. Describe it. Go into detail. If you think it's a hunk of silver, what size, what shape, serial number or blank, etc. If you think it's a coin, is it raw? Graded? By whom? What's the cert number? Denomination? Mint Mark?

Have fun, folks. Contest ends next Friday night 11/09/12 at 5 pm ET.

    Close, Dave. You got everything right except it's about half empty.

    OK - it is coin and/or bullion related. Since I am not one to start off-topic threads, I assumed that much to be obivous. image

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    Mine was a whimsical guess. There's no way that Wingsrule would be giving away a Marilyn Monroe.image
