    I wanted to keep this fair so I drank 6 beers until everything was blurry and I couldn't read the names. I threw all the scraps of paper up in the air and 30 minutes later when I woke up I picked one at random. Congrats Donnie! pm me your address.

    Wow! I can't believe it! Thank you so much! I don't have a medieval coin in my collection and I have been very envious of your digs. Are you sure you read the name correctly after six beers?!? Lol! I will send you a PM shortly. Thanks again!!! Wow!!!
