    Well time for me to give back to the forum for all the help and great threads I have read.
    One prize only but a pretty good prize. A set of Lincoln Cents in a Dansco album. Dansco album says including proof-only issues but none are in the album. Album goes from 1909-2007.
    Missing coins: 1909-S VDB, 1909-S, 1912-D, 1912-S, 1914-D, 1922 Plain, 1924-D, 1931-D, 1931-S, 1970-S small date, and no proof S mints.
    Condition: Older dates average circulated with some cleaned (1910-S, 1914-S cleaned badly. From about 1940 on some nice coins with quite a few BU wheats. The 1943 steel wheat I think might be reprocessed. The memorials are all in nice shape. So a pretty nice set of coins at a great price...Free!

    Contest rules: Contest will end at 2200/10:00 pm eastern time Monday May 17. All answers by private message only.

    As usual I will ask a few questions on World War 2. Answer the questions by private message. Get them all right and you will be the drawing for the Lincoln Set. As usual, my now 5 year old will draw the winner and I will mail out your winning prize within a day of receiving shipping information. Ok..Let's light this candle!

    1.< Why was Hitler refer to his reign as the "Third Reich" and how long did he say his Third Reich would last and how long did it really last?

    2.< Who is the only American that Hitler mentions in his book "Mein Kampf" and what does Mein kampf mean?

    Ok...That's all..questions a little tougher and may take a little longer so only 2questions. Good luck!
