<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1017221, member: 19065"]<b>Idea #35</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Mintage scavenger hunt! Base this contest on a given years Red Book, say the 2010, most have this one available. Post a mintage number, say that of the 1971-P Cu-Ni Ike (47,799,000). Members have to find this number then are instructed to use the first two numbers "47" to find a coin dated in a 18 or 19 '47 year that matches another mintage figure that you supply, say the mintage of an 1847 Seated Quarter (734,000), again instruct the first two numbers be used to locate another issue of coin, and so on. Create a list of coins and close possible mintage figure matches so that it is difficult to answer all of the clues correctly. Say you have a list of ten types of coins, each with a clue to the next to determine answers to complete the list. Answers are given by PM, as usual, and those with the correct list to your clues win(s) and ties broken accordingly. Kind of tedious but a contest should take some work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
