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.
Here's my first Franklin Half Dollar . Thank you Ed Sims for the contest and sending me this beautiful coin.
