This Contest will be for young numismatist only....what does that mean?
Well if you are under 18 yrs of age and are a member here on Coin Talk you can play.

Whats the gig? Ok here it is...

I found 10 First Day Coin Covers in the safe and wanted to have this contest.
All you have to do is submit a Letter explaining why you would be the best candidate for the 10 covers. I have asked 3 fellow CT members to be judges in this Contest and I am waiting to hear back from them.

It will be the 3 judges who make the decision on who wins the prize.

What are the 10 covers??
"They are all sealed in the plastic wrap from the mint".
To my knowledge, these are no longer available from the mint and the issue $$ was ~ $15.00 each..so the value is ~ $150 of First Day Covers to some lucky young boy or girl.

Here ya go; 1st Place Prize

1. California
2. Minnesota
3. Peace Medal Nickels
4. Return to Monticello Nickels
5. Keel Boat Nickels
6. Minnesota ( again)
7. Bison Nickel

2nd Place Prize = A Small Size FRN of my choice in Gem Condition
