Another one of a kind... or rather 1 of 10 in existence donation will be available during the Charity Auction.  This iron coin features the Faceless Man, from A Song of Ice and Fire, and is #4 in this very limited run.  George RR Martin was given #1, and has signed a card included in this package. 

Crafted and donated by Shire Post Mint, this coin was actually sent into the stratosphere via a weather balloon in 2015. The manufacturers call it the “Spaceless Man Coin” when discussing it among themselves. It includes a piece of the balloon and other event artifacts, including a thumb drive with video and stills of the coin's assent into the stratosphere.

 We've spotlighted donations from dealers, vendors, members, and staff. This is the first to come from an organization!

Also included: a plushy ghost, Season Four of Being Human (she's the ghost), and a Big Finish production of Doctor Who: The Haunting of Malkin Place starring Lalla Ward and that guy with the scarf and the hat.
