Ryan's Passage Contest! Round 4!

Hey everyone!

Well, not one person got everything right, but these are the people who only missed one thing: These people got everything right besides one thing:

Duke Kavanaugh
Lehigh96
Treashunt
Mcarney1173

Okay, so I was mainly looking for:

Tuesday, February 19th, 1992 was NOT a true date. It was a Wednesday, not a Tuesday!

Since the coin is 10 years old, and the passage was dated 1992, the coin must be a 1982 and can't have a scratch through the 84 in the date.

The coin is a two PENCE piece, not a two CENT piece.

The 2p piece did not have a motto on it's side, therefor the scratch going through the six words couldn't exist.


Okay... so here we go!


Round 4's Passage:

October, 2009.

It was Tuesday and I was on my way to my friends house on my brand new bike. It was a good 30 minute ride, but I managed... When I got there, he welcomed me in and introduced me to his family. He had a brother, Joey, and three sisters, Haley, Kelsey and Betsy. Haley is the new born baby and is only 3 years old. Kelsey had been adopted in 2005 and is now 23 years old and in collage studying bio-chemistry. She wasn't able to come home this week since she had so much work to do. Betsy was also adopted, in 1993, and is currently in the mental institute due to being emotionally hurt and suffering from depression. Then there's the parents... Mike and Jona Heinrich. Two very strict parents, but at the same time caring.

After talking with the family, we went up to my friends room and started playing video games. While we were playing, I noticed he had an unusual coin sitting on his dresser. It was a 1909 wheat cent. I asked him if I could pick it and and look at it and he didn't mind... after all, he didn't realize what it was besides a penny. Knowing me, I look to see if it has the VDB on the reverse, but no luck. Then I look on the obverse to see if there was a mint mark, and by golly there was! I was filled with happiness! I told him I was a coin collector and that this piece was worth a few hundred bucks easily... he was too amazed. So since I was the founder of it, but he was the owner, we decided to split the sale 50/50.

It was getting late and tomorrow was Thursday so I had to get ready for school tomorrow. After saying goodbye to my friend, his parents and Haley, I riie my aged bike back home within a couple of minutes and tell CoinTalk about my magnificent find! And boy were they jealous!

I need to start making more friends....!!!





Okay, people, the round will be over when everyone answers. Good luck!
