Well, since the *Lord* seems to make a habit of hi-jacking threads that have any giveaway possibilities......... (& no, Lord, I haven't made it to post #1888.... yet) - I'm gonna jump in and offer up a *mystery* world coin for 4th place (it's a mystery because I picked up 9 - unknown to me - coins at the fleamarket this weekend). Congrats Newbie ~ Raquel
I have received a pickup slip for the package from Switzerland, meaning I'll have the Mark Antony giveaway coin in hand in the next day or two (not to mention my Aelius sestertius- woohoo).
I will likely do some random number selections soon.
<< <i>Our esteemed Newbiecollector just crossed the big 10,000 post milestone, and we're havin' a PARTY!
Hardly a "Newbie" anymore, is he?
He was lamenting the fact that he didn't have anything giveaway-suitable, as if his presence here (and his own world coin forum on 24hourforums.com) wasn't enough!
He's gotta be the humblest guy I know.
Well, it's time we threw him a party.
So post ONCE to enter. Three prizes, three chances, one post. (Edit- no, make that FOUR.)
Winners will be selected by random number generator whenever Wayne tells me to do the drawing. And he can enter his own giveaway for a chance to win two of the three prizes!
UPDATE: Winners announced!
First, the Marc Antony legionary denarius, circa 1st century BC. From Wayne and I.
ASUTodd won! (I'm pretty sure I have your address, Todd.)
Next, a lovely Red BU South Africa halfpenny with a ship on it! From Wayne.
Bailathacl won! (You two PM each other).
Next, a 1795 Conder token (Middlesex D&H 985). From Farthing.
Iomsir won! (You two PM each other).
Last, a 1749 Dutch East India Company copper 1-duit piece, that was shipwreck salvaged. From Aethelred.
Newbiecollector won part of his own giveaway! LOL.
(Hey, Wayne- there's no use protesting. The random number generator said so! Michael sent me the coin, and I can send it to you.)
If you don't wanna win part of your own giveaway, just tell me who to send it to. >>
Rob,
First let me thank you and all that have contributed to this unusual give away and all that have posted.
I feel like a chit accepting the coin I won.........but I'm going to take it. I don't have the boat and I'm a greedy devil
Thanks again ROB and everyone else!
I will have another give away soon to make up for "stealing" one of the prizes.

Good. I'm glad you're gonna take it. You won it fair and square- the random number generator randomly said so.
Now, mind you, it doesn't have a ship on it- just a VOC monogram and a crest (Frisian, I think). The label says it is from a shipwreck but doesn't say the name of the ship.
