So, yes I am bored, and was thinking of what to do. So I figured, why not pose a contest, it's been a while! Anyway, this contest is for you to guess what coins, and what years and mintmarks I found at work this week.

First clue: I live in PA, in the US
Second clue: I am rather picky
Third clue: I work in a grocery store currently
Final clue: It is 3 DIFFERENT coins

Rules:
One guess a day, no limit to the guessing, just once a day please.
Winner will be announced when they guess them, or after one week, whoever is closest.



Prize is, as always ??????????

Good luck!

1944 penny
1964 Quarter
1951S Nickel

1964 Quarter

The first coin is found!

2 more to go guys, now that you have the most common out of the way, now it gets a little harder.

Todays hint is:
The two left are different metals from one another.
And to speed things up, I don't like clad coins from circ.

1964 Quarter
2006 ASE
1940 Wheat D

1936 cent

1909S Lincoln
1964 Kennedy

'64 Quarter
'44 cent
'36 nickel

Still only the 64 Quarter has been right.

Time for another hint....seems I missed todays, lol. I'll add another hint Tuesday night.

Hint:

One is copper
One is silver

Both are US coins

One is long before WWII but after WWI
One is shortly after WWII


Remember, I am looking for year and mintmarks. If you pay attention to my hints, this should be over shortly though.

64 Quarter
49D Roosevelt
26 Lincoln

1964 quarter
1948 D dime
1919 Penny

Thanks for the clues

1923 cent
1946 dime

BING! We have our second coin.

1964 Quarter
1946 Dime
???? ????

One last coin!

I will let this one run until Thursday, and whoever has guessed a correct coin first, or guesses the last one (which means if you guess the same as someone else and it's right) will be winners! (If nobody guesses the last coin, I will let it go for the rest of the week)

Good luck!

Btw, no more clues, this one is a no brainer if you follow my clues, lol.

1920 Lincoln

1921 Lincoln

1919-s lincoln

1922 D Lincoln

1925D Cent

1927 D Cent

I'm going to allow two guesses a day until Thursday night at midnight EST. And remember my clues, who knows, maybe someone already guessed it?!

Good luck guys!

1923 Lincoln

or

1926S Lincoln

Thanks for 2 guesses...

2nd guess for today is 1928P cent

1925 S cent and 1926 S cent

2nd guess is 1922 Lincoln
Thanks for the second guess

Now THAT would be a find.

Second guess 1920 D cent

A 1922 cent with no mint mark is listed on the 07 red book at $475 in good condition - that would be a GREAT FIND from circulation...

Boy I'd like to find that one...

Best Regards

Darryl

Thanks for playin everyone, the mystery prizes will be sent out as soon as I get your address!

Woo Hoo!!! Thanks vfox and congrats everyone!

Thanks for the contest Vfox,

I was fun to play along

Fun contest. Thanks, Vfox.

PM sent

I seem to always come in second
Wait, why DID I come in second?
Thanks Vfox!
PM (being) sent

Eh it seems I spoke to soon when looking up the winners between Topher and Darryl, so instead of just booting Topher off the winners list, he stays because of my mistake, and Darryl is added. I'm sure he won't mind.

Thanks Vfox As another forum member told me recently, Anytime I receive coins in the mail, it's a good day! I was happy to have some fun guessing and anything beyond that was a bonus. That said, that darn Topher keeps beating me (not that I'm ultra competitive or anything ) so I'm glad to share the stage with him!

Have a great weekend!

Darryl

Hmm... so why did I get second place?? I don't see where I had 1920-P in any of my posts. Anywho, thanks for the contest! I look forward to the next one!

In this case 2nd place is a nice way of saying "Loser". But it looks like even the losers are winners today. Thanks Vfox.

I'm not ultracompetetive either

Haha!

Well, I wouldn't call anyone a "loser" but how about "non-winners of the 1st degree"?

Ohh!!! I get it! I'm such a loser!
