My Mood: | Ryan's Coin Contest! Round 1
Hey everyone!
I have decided to hold my first contest, in a way of giving back to all of the members that have helped me in the past and encouraged me to keep on collecting. This is going to be a nice, challenging contest. It would require you knowing your U.S coins, and also being smart about it.
The object of the contest is to guess which coin I post a picture of. Simple, isn't it? Well, I'm only going to post a very small part of the coin and you have to guess what it is
You do NOT win if you guess what it is "first", you will just move on to the next round. The last one who has not yet been disqualified (to however many rounds it'll take) will be the winner!
Prizes: The prize(s) will be very nice, trust me! This contest will defiantly be worth it, so give it a try! What do you have to loose?
Round 1 ends March 20th. After that, this round will be closed and no more PM's will be accepted. I will announce who has made it, then round 2 will being. PLEASE *PM* ME WITH YOUR ANSWER! DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWER HERE. THANK YOU! Good luck and have fun! |

I know this sounds like a dumb question, but what answer do you want. i.e. small cent, Lincoln cent, 1960 Lincoln, 1960 small date, 1960-D small date rpm, etc. Save yourself, and others, some trouble and state just what you are looking for.

So your answer would be something like "Indian Cent, Matron Cent, Walking Liberty Half" etc... |
