    Sorry for the delay. I am a little busier this month, but I should be able to update everything at least every seven days, which should be fine.


    If you would like to enter, please host your images with whichever image hoster you prefer (so I don't have to save them to post them into the voting thread). You may enter up to 3 coins in any of the five categories (IE: 1 in most valuable, 2 in most unusual etc.). All the coins entered must have been found in the previous month (in this case, September). Your entry does not have to be a coin if it is entered in the most unusual category. Anyone can enter, and anyone can vote. You do not have to have an entry to vote, and you do not have to register to vote. Voters are encouraged to vote in all 5 categories, but that is not necessary. Only one vote per category. Members who have entered their coins can vote, but not for their own coins, obviously.

    Please have your photos submitted before 11/15/2007. Any photos submitted after that date cannot be accepted, unless they are entered before the actual contest thread is created.

    You can enter more than one coin for an entry, if they were all found in one roll. For example, if you find 9 1964 silver halves in one roll, you can enter them as one coin, and foreign coins can also be entered in any of the categories.

    The five categories are:

    ---

    Most valuable roll find

    Coolest pre-1920 roll find

    Best error/variety roll find

    Most unusual roll find

    Coolest overall roll find

    ---

    Please do not vote in this thread. Due to the delay, voting will end this month on 11/25.

    -- Please enter only coins that were found in the month of October --


    I guess that's it! Sorry for all that technical stuff. This is really about having fun, and giving somebody the knowledge that they have made the best roll find of anyone else on the forum! Thanks for visiting, and keep in mind that the most important thing is to have fun!

    I will not be entering this month, in the interest of impartiality.

    Hey BigH, do rolls from your dealer count, like wheat cent rolls?

    Phoenix :cool:

    Well, I thought about it for a while, but unless the coins are purchased at face value, they should not count in this contest. Occasionaly I will bend the rules to make an important decision, but this time, they will have to stand. Good question though!

    Also, for the record, the following coins are acceptable:

    Coins found in bank rolls or special issue rolls from the U.S. Mint (purchased at face value)
    Coins found in bags from the bank or U.S. Mint (purchased at face value)

    And the following are not acceptable:

    Coins found in anything purchased over face value
    Coins found in cash register, in change, on the street, etc.
    Paper money (although I am thinking about including that in a seperate division in next month's contest)
