    I have about 70 british pennies in various conditions dating back to the 1700's until the later 1900's. There are no duplicates.

    Please refrain from entering unless you are a YN, or have a relative or kid you can give these to who is younger and interested in coins. To enter simply post a reply. I will pick a winner at random tommorrow night.

    Woo, I'd be interested. For my kids that is :). A 9 year old girl, (almost) 7 year old girl and a 2 year old boy. Although the boy doesn't have much of a collection yet :).

    I am interested and have an 8 year old son who started searching rolls of coins with me last year and a 5 year old daughter who is just starting to read numbers who occasionally searches as well. I give most of the foreign coins I find to them (particularly my son since he seems more interested).

    Zane, I hope you don't mind me chiming in here. What a great contest. Zane, if you dont mind I would like the losers to PM me with an address and name and I will send all the losers some Penny's or something from Great Britain as well. This is one contest that I feel should have no losers from the list prior to me posting this. (Sorry if I am out of place here Zane)

    I'm also working on a contest that I'll run soon---there has been a ton of contests lately so I'm waiting for them to die down so they last longer!

    They are sooo much fun (even if I don't win) I love the challenge of learning something new with the possibility of a reward at the end. It's almost like roll searching as there is something to learn within each roll...
