    Thanks for the great and creative contest RickieB!! If I'm supposed to do the next one let me know and I'll try to come up with something special....This is fun! :D

    That proof set looks real nice too! It will fit right into my collection. I have a '62 set for my birth year, and a '64 set, but no '63. Perfect! My '62 set I put into a plastic holder back in '74 and it's developed some really pretty peripheral toning over the years. It was a gift from my parents and is very special to me.

    That was a really fun contest ... glad I stopped, though, never heard of Guernsey before this!

    Thanks for holding the contest. The first one was especially easy, since I am studying to be a food scientist. Guernsey cows have really high fat milk : )

    Hey guys.. The "Guernsey" I was refering to was the Alderney and Guernsey 1999 2 pc proof set of Winston Churchill KM94b very rare only 125 sets made...not cows for crying out loud..this was a coin related scramble..look up each word and you might learn something that you did not know...thanks for playing anyway..
    Better luck next time!

    RickieB :D

    I figured it was coin related, and I did look it up, but I simply noticed the word because of the cow. : )

    Hey Rickie,

    I know Monaco is a country, but what's the numismatic link? I wonder who was abe to get one of those Churchill proof sets!
