    Well, since I won the last contest, I will start #50 here, and this one will be a bit harder for you guys to do. But I think that you might have fun with it. Here are the rules:

    As I normally do, I get a couple boxes of coins from the various banks around here every week or so. In my last trials, I was very surprised to find a rare coin in one of the rolls. This is a coin that you would have to be EXTREMELY lucky to find in circulation, as it is no longer being made.

    You mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to identify the coin I found as to the denomination, type, and year I found. The first person to get it correctly will have won.

    The time limit for the contest is as follows: if no one has correctly guessed the coin in one (1) week's time, that is to say, by 12:01am Saturday the 24th of July, I will post a hint for you guys. If no one has correctly guessed the coin by 10:00pm Sunday the 25th of July, I will randomly draw from the people who submitted guesses to determine a winner.

    I also request that each guess be in a separate post, thus making it easier to see who submits a correct guess first. (I.E. do NOT submit you guess as "I think you found a 2005-D penny or a 2005-P penny.") Thanks!

    The prize for this contest is yet to be determined, although I have set a limit of $10 on the value of the prize (mainly because I still need to pay for college!).

    Good luck to you all, and happy guessing!

    Since he said that they are No longer made I don't think this would work...this would be...Not made yet ;--)

    Wow.... that's REALLY close! :p

    Seriously, though, you're all making good guesses, but none have been exactly right so far!

    I think you guys have been reading my previous posts. If you had, you'd see what kinds of things I get from the bank! None correct yet....
