Well, I still have almost 2 rolls of nice golden toned 1957P nickels. Have been thinking about having another contest. The other night I'm sitting in my office looking at the "stuff" piling up against the wall I've picked up a yard sales to sell on ebay and thought I really need to sit down and list this stuff. Well I have a stack of Official US Mint Jefferson Nickel Albums (not folders) so.... I think I'll have a Nickel Trivia Contest. The prize will be a US Mint Nickel Album with at minimum a BU 1957P Jefferson Nickel in it. Now for the contest. Answer the following questions. You can post them here or PM them to me. One answer per member please! I'll pick the winner by drawing a name out of a hat. All disputes will be settled by an arbitration panel contisting of me and all decisions are final unless I decide otherwise! The contest will be ending 12PM EST 8/14/2008. Carefully answer the follows question. 1. What was the 1st NICKEL produced by the US Mint? 2. What where the years of production of the 1st NICKEL? 3. Who is the designer of the current NICKEL? 4. What are the years of pruduction of the CURRENT NICKEL? 5. What does NICKEL actually mean? Careful and Good Luck!
Thanks 4 the contest. Sent PM. Learned that Nickel will shrink if placed in a magnetic field as well as some other things.
