~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The prize for this contest will be a mystery at first. I will pull one coin from one of my random boxes of unsorted World coins. So there's your first hint. It will be a non-US World coin. A pretty inexpensive coin, but it will be older, or interesting somehow, or silver (or maybe all three).

To enter: Be the first to guess the coin's identity (country, denomination, date), and it's yours- if you want it. I might drop some hints along the way if I feel they're necessary. We'll keep guessing until someone gets it right.

You may keep on guessing multiple times, but you must let at least two other people guess in between each of your guesses (in other words, you'll get a new guess every third post, if that makes sense). Since this will require feedback from me as the guessing progresses, please be patient with me when I'm not online. I'll try to keep the guesses moving in the right direction. If this new contest format works, there will likely be more like this (I have a lot of World coins in those boxes).

Totally free: the contest is free of charge, open to everyone, with free worldwide shipping. The only thing I ask is that you do please post to this thread later, when you have received the prize, so that we'll know you got it (that helps me keep track).

Good luck!

Numismatic regards,

~Robertson ("Rob") Shinnick ("LordM")

This contest is brought to you by Elvis & Huckleberry.

 

Starter hint:

This coin was struck in the Northern Hemisphere.

Go!

 

It does have a British monarch on it, but it's not from the homeland, so none of the three elements of your guess are quite on the mark. You did get the correct century.

After two other people have guessed, you may guess again.

 

Nope. Right queen, is all.

 

No, but you have the right country, now.

Note I say that Canada is the right country... but I'm not yet saying which Canadian subcategory this might be from... if any...

You may guess again after at least two other people have had their guesses.

 

We are getting warm. Newfoundland it is.

 

I'm probably tipping too many hints.

 

Nope

 

Guess.

 

Sal and Omegaraptor came in after your last, so go! Every third poster gets a new guess.

 

Nope, but neat coin.
