Phase 3
Restated for clarity of the general idea/rules:
Some may have seen the topics I created about my first bulk world coin purchase. I got 5 lbs of coins which included 475 total coins from over 70 different countries.
What I have done for this contest is pick out the 5 oldest coins with identifiable dates that were included.
What the contestants will do is gradually identify these coins through Three Phases. There will be no pictures posted until the contest is over.
Each Phase will have a winner!
General Rules
You must have 50 posts to play. If you reach 50 posts during the contest, you can then participate in what is left.
Open to members from all countries.
One guess per member, per Phase.
Each Phase will last 5 days and begin when I post and end at Midnight ET (forum time) after 5 full days have passed.
Phase ties of any sort will be addressed if/when they occur. Being fair is high priority!
These are all non-U.S. coins!
The Phase 1 winner (january1may) is not eligible for the next Phases.
This final Phase will decide both the Phase 2 and Phase 3 winners.
The Prizes
Each Phase Winner will receive a silver quarter! They will also receive extra goodies I include to try and make the prize lots even. So...it will basically be a surprise.
You may be now wondering...
Phase 3 Challenge!
Your quest is to match the revealed dates to their correct countries and also guess the denomination. Mintmarks can also be guessed for bonus points but are not required.
Hints: Think about what I may reasonably find in a world coin bin at an LCS in the U.S.
The coin dates have now been revealed:
1853
1859
1870
1886
1888
The coin countries have also been revealed:
Austria
France
Germany
Japan
Spain
Points for this Phase will be awarded as such:
Correct date, country & denomination - 10 points
Correct date & country - 6 points
Correct country & denomination - 3 points
Correct country & mintmark match - 1 additional point
*Mintmark guesses are not required but can add points*
Resolving any tie depends on who is tied (if any of the top six from Phase 2 are involved) and will generally be addressed by who posted first.
