    Hello fellow coin collectors,

    What I have here is a contest that´s easy enough for everybody but you have to do some small research.

    What you see here is the Icelandic 2 Kronur coin from the year 1929 with only 77 thousand minted. This coin is one of Iceland’s rarest coins and in UNC state there are only 4-5 known to exist. This coin could not be collected by Icelanders as it was far too valuable. If I remember right you could buy 2 and a half sheep’s for it in 1929.

    The name of the game is to guess the weight of the coin on my digital scale " seen in the picture ". My scale is 4 digits 00.00 and I use grams.
    I will ship the coin in the picture to the winner free of charge of course :)

    The contest will close on the 14th of May 2010 at 21:00 GMT

    The first one to get it weight right or the closest to it wins :)


    Here you see the coin

    Have fun everyone,
