    4/11/21: This contest is now CLOSED. Winners announced in Post #78.

    Contest #1

    Last week everyone was asking for a “guess the pile” contest. Well, here it is. I pulled out my bag of halves and small dollars and dumped them into this pile. You have until March 20th to guess how much in dollars and cents is in this pile without exceeding the total. Simply type “Entry Post”, a dollar and cents amount (example $10.25) and finally, show me a photo of your favorite coin. On March 20th, I will post the winning member. I have photographed the total and sent a photo of the totals to an esteemed member of CT just to keep me honest!

    The winner receives an 1883 AU55 Shield Nickel!

    Contest #2
    This contest applies to CT members 25 years old and younger. You may choose to play on behalf of younger members or tadpoles as it were...... In the second contest, I want your best guess at the number of Susan B. Anthony dollars in the pile. The closest guess will win half the SBA dollars in that pile. Guess the exact number correctly, and you win ALL the SBA dollars in that pile!

    Buckle up and have fun! Now show me some coins!

    I just noticed the three guesses so far are apart by almost/around a $20 difference.

    For Contest #1, my guess is $111.50. For Contest #2, I guess that you have $13 in SBAs.

    I don't particularly have a favorite individual coin, but this one is certainly up there for me.

    For the first contest, I think you have $113 dollars in that pile.

    For the second (I'm eligible because I'm 19), you have 20 SBA dollar coins.

    Good luck to everyone! Attached is a photo of my favorite coin.
