Dan769 Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 With softball and building a poker table eating up all of my time, it's nice to be back into coins again!! In my search of 18 rolls of wheats cents, I obviously found duplicates of certain date/mintmarks. The contest is to guess what date & mintmark I found the most of in these 18 rolls. Guess the date & mintmark with a total of coins found to break any ties. Guess the earliest date/mintmark found for a another side contest. One guess per person, Contest over Sunday April 8th 6PM EST, Prize to be determined, Good luck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Cool contest! I will guess the most you found was 38 1957-D cents, and the oldest was a 1910. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan769 Posted April 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 OK, contest over. Surprised at the lack of entrants, thanks to all who did. Jtryka wins the main contest with the correct guess of 1957-D. He guessed that I found 38, in fact I found 68 in those 18 rolls. The Mac also guessed 57-D, but did not include a tie breaking total found guess, so he was eliminated. The oldest coin found was a 1909-P which Kat, Bobbycoin, & the newbie Clichy00 guessed correctly. So Jtryka, Kat, Bobbycoin & Clichy00, PM your address so I can get you prizes. Thanks for playing.
