-- BEST ROLL FINDS CONTEST - October 2007 - Voting thread

Ok, here it is! Sorry for the delay, but better late than never!

Here we go...

For you voters, please only vote for one coin per category. For instance, pick your choice for most valuable, your choice for most unusual, your choice for best overall. In other words, you cannot vote for two coins that are in the same category.

For the folks who submitted their finds, you are allowed to vote, but not for your coins. Aside from that, all the other rules apply in the same way to you.

In the most valuable category, please vote for the coin you think is most valuable. Be it for it's precious metal content, date, or overall condition.

Ok, that should be it!

Here's the first category,

That's it!

Let the voting begin!

 

P.S., to LSM, I'm sorry, but coins cannot be entered without a picture.

 

For the coolest pre-1920, I vote for the 2-cent piece as no-one would ever expect to find that in circulation.

 

Voting will end on October 21st.

 

For the error/variety, I vote for the 1988 cent as that takes one heck of an eye to catch.

 

For coolest overall, I vote for the silver proofs. I've searched over a ½ million dollars in halves so far and have only found 2 silver proofs (one was severely mutilitated), and yet this guy finds three of them in the same box.

Phoenix

 

Thanks, Phoenix! I'm gonna try to have it every month. It's actually a lot more fun than I thought it would be! At first I thought I wouldn't have enough time, but it's really not bad. Actual contest work might have been an hour total.

I'm not sure if you roll search, but anything you find this month will eligible for next month's competition!

 

TheBigH: The images I posted were thumbnail links to larger images; not sure if it matters at this point but I could send you larger pictures so my entries don't seem so small.

I'd like to vote for the 2-cent piece in coolest pre-1920 and the guitar pick in most unusual, and abstain from catagories I'm in!

 

I would like to vote for the Franklin(#2) for Most Valuable.
Coolest pre '20 I would give to the 2cent piece(#3)(what did you find that in a roll of?).
Most Unusual the guitar pick(#10).
and Coolest Overall (#12) the magicians coin.

Good luck guys.

 

Oops, sorry! I thought they were small. They have been fixed!
