Vfox Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Hm, I dno if that's getting closer or farther off lol......you guys are definately hitting in the right ballpark though. Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Last day for this folks, when I get home from work tonight I will pick a winner if nobody guesses it correctly. Todays FINAL hint is: The coin is from Austria. Now, this narrows it down to the country, earlier hints the size, the edge, the year, and the obverse portrait. The first person to guess this will get the set, and I will let everyone have 3 guesses today. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 This is like the only Austrian coin I got: Let's see if it happened to be an exact fit Austria 1860 1 florin, edge: incursive text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vfox Posted August 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 1800 Austrian Thaler? We have a winner! Yes, it was an austrian Ein Thaler from 1800 with little circles on the edge instead of reeding. PM your info and you'll have the worn proofset in a few days. (I also encourage you to keep doing this experiment with them, or even just one of them for a while, and if you want pass it onto to someone else when you get bored! Or spend them and really let them circulate lol, maybe one day I'll have one back someday haha) Anyway, thanks for everyone who guessed.......................EVERYONE who posted a guess should PM your address for a consolation prize.

Trantor_3 Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 I received mine today, wow, what a surprise I feel like a winner, not a runner-upper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted September 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I am really surprised everyone got their coins so fast (at least non-US). I am also glad you guys liked the runners-up prizes! I tried to give everyone similar packages, but also I tried to keep in mind that Non-US residents have a harder time getting US coins, and the other way around for us yanks. I will be sending the "second wave" hopefully on Friday this week (sorry so late, it's been a h***ish week at school!) so everyone has until Thursday to PM me! I still need: Gxseries ScottishMoney GreatUncleAbe Like I said before, if I don't hear from you by this week, before I send the second shipment I will have to assume you do not want the runners-up prize, PM me no later than Thursday please!

Ack, I have not been online here in a little while. I received it about a week ago. Looks great. I'll get out the camera so I can photograph the "progress" I must also thank you for the extras that came along with it. Quite a nice surprise, a bunch of items that I did not have.
