Okay everyone, I will more than likely reach 3,000 tonight so, the contest will start tomorrow evening/night (maybe late

). So everyone can consider the premise beforehand:
It will be to guess the next three coins I find in public (not in change of course). They could be from a Coinstar, self-checkout tray, store floor or ground/parking lot. The guesses should include date, mintmark, denomination and also date
found for tiebreaking/bonus purposes. So even just going back to the '70s, that allows for hundreds of possibilities if not thousands depending on the dates found.

They, of course, should be U.S. coins. I will decide between now and then what more recent dates to exclude. It won't be very interesting to allow 2016 cents, for example. Most likely it will be pre-1990.
As suggested, the prizes
will include silver and other goodies: maybe some proofs and any other interesting items I think of.

I will be selecting the prizes this time
in secret and try my best to make the three lots as equal as possible.
Anyway, see everyone tomorrow in the new topic!
