So you didn't find ANY coin yesterday? Are you sure you looked hard enough? Under your car seats and the bottom of your cup holders, under your couch cushions, every inch in front of at least two or three convenience stores, with your new metal detector under the football field bleachers, etc.

If not, I think all guess days that score NO coins found should be moved a day forward until you find a coin.

Unless you did all of the above.

Or unless it's Tuesday. Or it rained.

How about royalties ( special prize ) if you find a classic coin as listed by CCF . Forget the date ,mint and denomination . As for when found ,that's your call .
I realize you already started this contest , so please throw this if out it bothers you . I don't want to step on any bodies toes .

That's correct. I don't have time to do much other than scan more earnestly than usual while running daily errands.

Keep in mind, the date found is the least important factor here. My purpose for including it is to help resolve any ties and for bonuses if everything is guessed exactly.

@T-BOP

I'm not completely sure what the suggestions is. Of course, classic coins can be guessed if you wish. Do you mean a bonus if I find a type of classic coin and someone guessed that type disregarding date/MM?

Workin' out the kinks! I definitely want this to be fun or at least interesting for everyone. I know the odds involved but it's "closest wins" so give it a shot.

#3) will be 1998D Stinkin' Zinken from your local quick pick on Monday evening the 18th of September @ 6:30 local time.

@Crazyb0

You may want to change that #2 guess. This only includes U.S. coins and doesn't include change I get.

To everyone else, time of day found is not a requirement and means nothing other than as a joke or extra fun if you happen to be right.

I'll put together a list of guesses tomorrow. There's still at least two days to submit one or more guess(es)!

Being honest, I'm thinking this contest idea isn't going to create much interest and play out well. I liked the idea of not knowing the answers at the start but, I think this will be dragged out too long and no one will care. I thank everyone for the guesses but, I think I'll do something else with a timeline and known answers. Thanks for playing this unknown game and I hope to see everyone in my new iteration of the contest where the answers are already set in stone.

I realized I don't have time to actively seek free money for this and it will go on for far too long. I didn't leave the "homestead" today. I found two coins yesterday: a 2015 dime and a 2001 cent. I can't make this game work.

I have another idea, however, and am considering a "Big Supporter" giveaway.

I apologize for the fail.

I appreciated the contest and something should be said for your CCF spirit and generosity. Thanks!
Nothing wrong with the idea but I bet you would go crazy trying to compile the guesses after awhile.
Not a fail, simply a case of "Improvise, Adapt, Overcome," as Gunny would say in Heartbreak Ridge.

Thanks for the kind words TNG. The more I thought about it as it was being played out, the more I realized that my incarnation of the original idea wasn't feasible. Sorry, Parklane.

The only way to improve it would have been to remove the "pre-2000" requirement but, that would have led to everyone who had guessed changing their guesses and would have made the topic flow completely horrible for anyone else just finding it.

If anyone is wondering, I had yet to find a qualifying coin (and found nothing today either) so, it wasn't ended with a potential winner.

I will be posting a brand spankin' new contest tomorrow with known answers and set deadlines. It will involve world coins (non-U.S.) and also be a guessing game with little to no research involved. Easy, right?

The prizes will be the same and there will still be three winners.

thought requirement

Yeah Spruett, just report the thread and ask this one to be closed I guess. Otherwise things will really get funner with old guesses on this and new guesses on that in the same thread.

I didn't think of that. This one is moved to "ENDED" but, it should probably be locked to avoid any confusion.

If you are reading this, the contest has ended and a NEW contest has started.

Go here for the new and different contest:

Good luck!
