Vfox Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 So my classes start again in another week or so and I decided I don't want to carry the 1977 proof set from this thread, http://www.coinpeople.com/Proof-set-circul...-fun-t9755.html while I'm in class. So, I am going to give the proof set from 1977 away to the first person to guess what my first pre 1900's coin was. I will end the competition this Friday and just pick someone at random if nobody can quess it. (I'm almost wondering if anyone would actually want an impared proof set like this? lol, hey at least it's a free $1.91 right?) I will give one hint: It didn't have a smooth or reeded edge, good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 A German mark? It'd be cool to continue on with wearing the coins down. Hope whoever wins wants to do that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I really hope whoever gets this will continue the pocket ride! So far no one has gotten it right, so I will give another hint every day to speed things up lol. todays hint is: It had a male figure on the obverse. (I'm trying to keep these kinda vague so bear with me lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vfox Posted August 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Can you guys include a coin with the country you're naming? Don't worry the hints will get more and more helpful as the week goes on, and seeing as it's after 12AM I will add todays. Hint: This coin is NOT from N or S America, Australia, Africa, Japan, China, Korea, India, Cuba, or Russia. (How's that for narrowing it down? Don't forget the age and other hints to help you guess) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
