breakout your redbook and start searching, the knowledge that you gain when you are learning on your own will stick with you longer than any other knowledge! You can learn something and have some fun too!


NOTE TO ALL:
I extended the contest deadline by 4 days because I will be out of town on the day the contest was originally going to end. My apologies for any inconvenience.

 

I have determined that the winner will have their choice of coins 22 and 39. Good luck to all.

 

Hi,
Great Contest! and very generous with the prizes!! I sent in my answers.

Will you post the answers at the end of the contest? I think I know a few of these (not enough to win though, lol), and would be curious as to what the indentifications of alll of these would be.

 

yep I will!

 

Congratulations to foundinrolls! He submitted his guesses this afternoon and received a perfect score; all 40 pictured correctly identified and all 10 bonus points received!

Since my contest on the other site is still open I will wait to post the correct answers until this weekend when that contest closes.

Thanks to everyone who participated, I hope that you all enjoyed this as much as I did!
Chris

Hi,
One thing that helps is the fact that I don't look at too many coins without the aid of an 18X lens I am usually looking at the smaller details on the coins and that gets you a little more familiar with the little things we don't usually pay too much attention to.
Have Fun,
Bill
