Dimeguy's Going to a Show Contest

Well, coinshow is in about a week, so I thought I would do a contest to commemorate the event. I don't know what the prize will be yet, but I promise it'll be a cool item(s) I pick from the show.

The details: Ok, the contest will consist of two parts: an entry round, then a puzzle round. To qualify for the puzzle round you must satisfy the requirements of the entry round. Entry round will be 4 days, puzzle round will be another 4 days, unless of course the requirements of each are met beforehand.

Entry round: Since I'll be finishing (hopefully) my Franklin set, to be eligible for the puzzle round you must post a Franklin Half. Grade doesn't matter, but I do want to be able to read the date and mint mark...no obverse or reverse only posts. Once a date/mint has been posted, that particular coin is not eligible for repost. For example, if someone posts a '54S, the next person to post a 54S will not be eligible for the puzzle round. Entry round, as stated above will close 4 days from 10AM EST today or once all dates/mints have been covered, which ever comes first.

Eligibility: 25 posts minimum to participate, US/Canadian residents only please for I am hesitant for overseas shipping

Winner of contest: If you do win the contest I do require you post a pic of the prize, just so it doesn't seem I'm some dirtbag who didn't ship out a prize.

Ok, I think that about covers it. Feel free to post the Franklins below and let's have some fun!

here you go see what I posted and what your example was :

 

Here is mine a 1963 Franklin

 

Here one of my Proof Franklin

:thumb: I will re-post in the AM

 

Better put up the reverse pick. Original instructions included, "no obverse or reverse only posts".

The only Franklin I have is a 1963 Proof but someone already posted a 1963. Damn the luck.

 

Will do

 

Bad pic of a not so nice coin but all my frankies are pretty much bullion.
1954 Philly mint.

 

There we have it...the first 3 eligible:

d.t.menace with the '54P
shoewrecky with the '54S
kovu with the '63P

Jello, you are close. Just show me the bell lines and you'll be in. Keep them coming!

 

I have just one comment, for what it's worth!

Everyone who chooses to run a contest is always excluding our overseas members, and I think it is a slap in the face to them just because the host is too scared, too cheap or what ever to ship overseas. If you're going to give something away, give everyone a chance to play!

here here. i have run two contests and i have had no hesitation in mailing the prizes to the USA.........

 

I'll round out the 54's with a Denver mint:

 

Glad to see someone else posted a junk half. Here is mine.

 

:too-funny: You aren't talking about my high quality collector grade coin are you?!

 

Here's a 1960-D. It's one of my favorites because I won it in a crane machine:

 

Uhm? Might be!

 

Well, this should cover it for 29 more entrants!

Chris

 

That's one way to thin the competition!

 

I wasn't posting them for myself. I'm protesting the exclusive discrimination against our foreign members.

heres my 52

 

Wow, i always wanted to come across a crane game with coins in them!
