    Congrats wcoins! Great contest! The bust dimes were killing me. 2 bust dimes had already been guessed, with no "correct answer" given. I had 2 already crossed off the "bust dime list". Still, this was ultra fun! I'd be willing to participate in more even without a prize.

    You are all welcome. I admit there were a couple of things I missed along the way and next time I will be more diligent.

    I can put together another contest like this one and instead of a single prize I could offer the winner a choice of one of three or four coins as his/her winnings. That might encourage more members to participate since one or more of the prize options might be something they would like to try and win.
