Mark Stilson Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Picked up two cull coins (And I'm not kidding the local coin store has an cull box with a bunch of U.S. coins in a box. So these are from it.) These are some where below good. Maybe even P01 for those looking for the low grade sets. (According to how it turns out I may try this again.) Anyways heres the rules. Only one guess per person per day. (Any more then per day will be ignored. So fair warning.) You may take a guess on both coins in the same day. I would prefer it be on the same post. Time/date is whats listed at Coin People. Not your local time. First person who correctly guesses type and year gets that coin. (If two people post at the same time the first showing in order gets it.) Mint is not needed. Just in case I did not think of something which should have been in the rules to call the winner my judgment stands. hints. One from above They both are U.S. coins. Next they both are over 50 years old. (You did not think I'd make it that easy on you. ) First coin Second coin Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Stilson Posted January 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 what's a cull coin? Low grade, or possible problem coin which may not make it to grading standards. (Scratched, cleaned, damaged, porosity etc. ) In other words these are not showcase coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Stilson Posted January 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 BTW I did look thru them so these aren't drilled, scratched, bad dings on the edges, or bent. I can't say much more though. The copper is a little porous though. But on the whole decent culls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corkykile Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 This is all fun and games for all who answered... but I didn't get any pictures to see. Not getting a picture happens now and then on this forum so will have to get together with the 'boss' and see why. Corky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted January 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I know how that goes. I have the same problem on some pictures. And it is aggrevating. Just to give it a try here is the same images hosted but at Imageshack. First coin Second coin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Stilson Posted January 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 A hint the orientation is right. I.E. the coins are not up side down or sideways. According to how this runs I may post some more clues later in the contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Stilson Posted January 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 I may try to take a couple more pictures of the same shot. I've got to admit the picture on the copper is pretty poor. I'm going to wait a bit to see how it goes. BTW if you aren't sure whether are due a post just look at your last guess and if it says yesterday or has a date its okay. I figured that would be easier to track the saying 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
