    Just a simple contest. This is the first contest I've held so I'll keep the rules simple to start.

    I found this coin today and already have a example in my collection so I'll award it to the winner of this contest. Basically the rules are simple, I want to see how sharp you guys are.

    To Win, you need to provide the variety by the use of Cherrypickers' #, Breen# , or Potter# for the coin whose mintmark is shown below. This mintmark is the only clue, so lets see how sharp you really are! Provide your answer here, by posting directly on this thread. Do not PM the answer, just post on the forum. Once you've posted an answer please do not edit your post, this will void your guess, instead just post a new reply with your answer to eliminate any accusations of cheating. Up to Ten guesses/answers allowed per person, so keep trying!!

    First correct answer WINS the coin I found today, in good+ circulated condition. PLUS an additional SILVER bonus weighing 1 troy oz!!! Let the game begin!

    My guess is Breen 2156.
    However, unless this is a different die state, it does not (exactly) match any cherry picker variety that I have seen.

    Ok this is one last clue that should make it fairly easy to figure out...

    I am going to say it is the 1941-S Large Mintmark 5 cent, Breen #2676.

    Congrats Jake, I wondered if that last picture may have given a bit much away... PM or email your mailing address and I'll get that out for you tomarrow! BTW... The Silver Bonus is a 1999 Silver Eagle!! Congrats again, DAK!

    I saw the 41 s, but the picures don't show the RPM (west) that your picture shows.
