This is the "1960 Historical Contest" The prize: 3 BU 1960 Cents, so there are 3 Historical Questions about 1960. (some may have small fingerprints on them ) Anyways, here are the questions. First person to PM me the correct answer wins. (it should be fairly easy) Q1) What country did multiple Nuclear tests in 1960? Q2) The idea of the Peace Corps is suggested by who? (hint: he's on a coin) Q3) Which [in]famous Nazi was captured in the mid '60's?   01-09-2008, 04:21 PM   #2 (permalink) Phoenix21 *The King Of Jokes*     Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: PA Posts: 8,924 My Mood: PM sent.

He was the 2nd person to answer, but the 1st one with the right answers. The answers were: 1) France 2) John F. Kennedy 3) Adolf Eichmann #1 was the hardest. And to our first respondent, Indianhead, he will also receive 1 1960 BU cent. Because he responded twice, both with the incorrect 1st answer. so Phoenix and Indianhead, please PM me your addresses.   01-09-2008, 05:00 PM   #4 (permalink) indianhead Numismatist   Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: PA Posts: 3,685 My Mood: Blog Entries: 1 Quote: Originally Posted by Magman Phoenix is the winner!
