Congratulations to Brian Sparks, the winner in our Holiday Craft Contest. His creation, 'The
Pennyman,' was apparently enough to scare off the rest of the
competition, as we had no other entries.

Brian will receive the first-place prize pack, which
includes:
- A 1962 silver proof Franklin Half Dollar
- A 2012 ANA special edition of "A Guide Book to
United States Coins" (the Red Book) with an error on the cover (the
type is doubled on the cover).
- A copy of Paul Hollis's book, "American Numismatist."
- A copy of David Akers's book, "United States Gold
Patterns."
The second- and third-place prizes will go back into the prize
vault, but will no doubt resurface soon. Follow us on Twitter or
