BigCanadianM Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 That would have doubled my collection Good job (again) Topher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topher Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 That would have doubled my collectionGood job (again) Topher Thanks for the contest Darryl, and thanks BigCanadianM. I'm obsessive when it comes to these kinds of riddles. I HAVE to figure them out, even if it kills me. I know, it's unhealthy, but at least I can admit it. I've had a bit of a win streak lately, so for the next little while, I'll compete, but won't accept prizes. I'd offer to stay out of the competition, but I just can't do that. I'll have to put a riddle together to give back to the CoinPeople community, but the hardest part will be taking the photo. (yes, for a tech geek, I can't work a darn camera! LOL!) Maybe I'll come up with a riddle that doesn't involve pictures. Hmmmmm...... Stay tuned. Oddly enough, it's the US coins in this collection that I don't have. Darryl, you can keep the wheaties, the half Franc, and the British half-penny. I have more than enough of those types, so I won't miss them.

Darryl Posted June 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 OK - now for the interesting part. As I was just looking at the final set of coins I realized I had one of the 2x2's miss-marked. So the answer based on the clues was correct but the actual answer based on the coins was not. Topher - You are still the winner! For those others that have been playing along, I will send a consolation prize - PM me your address - Jos I already have yours Glad everyone played along!!! Kind of a nice ending to what has been the strangest contest - who's running this show anyways O - that would be me Best Regards, Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are quite welcome as I enjoyed watching this one and it's fun to give back sometimes as I have won my fair share. Best Regards - Send those PM's for those that have played...

Alright, I probably don't have one in UNC. But then keep the Canadian nickel. I've got about 100 or so of them dated 1968 alone. And thanks again. It took a lot of effort to do this one, but I guess getting 7 right the first time around didn't hurt things either. Not bad considering I started all of Jos's contests with 0-fers.

belg_jos Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Congrats Topher! You only beat me by an hour or so. I had only a couple of combination to check. I stopped for a minute when I saw your post, and after I checked it, I knew it was all over Still I went on searching, and eventually found it too. So I'm ready for the next one Jos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
