Really cool 2016 coin contest!

I haven't held a contest for a while, so I have a really neat one for all to play! (even outside the US)

I have an older CD Storage Box like this:



which I have STUFFED full of coins (well, pretty much stuffed anyways).

This contest is for the first person who successfully says (all 4 apply)
1) how many coins are in here,
2) what coins or coin sets are in here
3) how many coins are U.S. coins, and
4) how many are foreign coins.

You must be as specific as possible in naming these coins and the number in the box)

Some are sets, some are individual in 2x2's or slabs, some are in rolls, and some are in plastic tubes.

The box is 10 X 6 X 6-1/2 inches, and the top does close down on the box. There might be a tiny bit of bulging on the sides, but if there is it would be very little.

Each person putting in a guess can do so up to 4 times in a day. Your answers will also spark answers by me to confirm 'some' (I don't promise to confirm everything) at least a couple times per week.

This box weighs about 6 pounds with the coins in it.

And the best part, is there is a great prize: (for US and Canada for sure) winner (possibly can send also to Europe or Asia, it will depend on which country. If the winner is outside the US or Canada, and I find that I cannot reasonably send this item, I will pick another item to send that has the same or close value), so it is open to anyone!!! I will be shipping but cannot, if outside the US guarantee it would arrive safely..... obviously due to possible postal issues.

This is the prize:

A 2011 US Silver Proof Set:



The contest will run until either someone wins based on the rules above, or if no winner is had within 30 days and I can determine someone's answer fits close to what is in here (i.e., has the right number of sets, right number of rolls of coins, right number of tubes of coins and general mix of what is in each tube, right number (or or close) number of 2X2 and slabbed coins, etc) then that will determine the winner. If no one fits in with these (above) then I will instead provide a consolation prize to the person who tried the hardest and came the closest without getting the answer as specified above.

If there is a consolation prize, it will be: a 2015 loonie (yeah, really shiny one)

You know I will presume that if you can type it, you can also 'say' it. Therefore, I will accept answers posted in written form on this thread, whether they were typed or done through some sort of speech-recognition software. If I see it as typed out, then I will think it 'said'. Even if someone is a mute person and cannot actually speak.

 

I don't think this contest will ever be won. Truly a lucky guess is the only way.

 

I don't think you fully read the OP.

42 coins in the box

12 are US coins

They are all proof US and Canadian

30 are Canadian

 

I do have Canadian coins in the box

 

Kasia , thanks for the contest , now to figure it out .

 

Some coins are proof coins and some are not. There is one special Specimen set. There are at least 5 countries represented by coins. "Folders" (like your penny folders, etc.) do not fit in the box.

 

Are the contests around here usually this crazy?

 

555 coins .
Sets Lincoln cents , and SBA sets and a silver Franklin set 1 Canadian hald dollar Specimen set . Coins Walkers Morgans , Peace , Mercs , Canadian Canoe dollars .
331 American coins and 224 Canadian . Along with 2 learning hat sets .

 

rzage:
NO on Walkers, Morgans, Peace, Mercs. No sets that include these coins, either.
Yes on Canadian Specimen set, but not a half dollar one (though the set does include a half dollar, it's not the focus of the set)
