Happy Mardi Gras! Every year my friends and I compete to see who can go to the most parades. Our only rule is that we must bring back a cup or doubloon with the krews name on it to count it. As a coin collector, I feel like doubloons are the only way to go. If it is shiney and round, I want it. So here is the contest... Guess how many doubloons I will get. Different only, duplicates don't count. A hint, many parades throw many different colors and designs (each will be counted). Each member will be allowed three guesses with the final guess allowed at midnight three weeks from today (2/10/13). winner will be announced the following Wednesday. Good Luck! The prize will be two four coin sets of proof presidential dollars in OGP with COA. I went to the first parade of the year today, the first of about thirty five or so. Here is the only one that I cought.
