February 7th, 2017. I like spence's idea - something from the Faroe Islands or older silver krona/krone/kroner coins from any of the available countries.

It seems that one part is being misunderstood, so to avoid confusion: the choice for Norway, Sweden or Denmark is only for second and third place, as those places will get a small set of coins from one of those countries.

First place is completely open! As long as it's realistic and feasible. Guesses for the date can't be updated, but please feel free to post your updated ideas for a first prize below. :)

Can first place have nothing to do with coins?

@LincolnCentMeHere: of course it can have nothing to do with coins. As said, I like people to be creative and -hopefully- find a common interest.

My guess is : October 7, 2016.
Thanks for the contest.
And if I win, which I doubt so, I'd ask for a 2012 dated Norwegian 5 Kroner coin.

Interesting contest. before I make a guess...

Your post should contain if you prefer Norway, Sweden or Denmark


I don't quite understand this part. Did you mean coins from these countries?

No, I have a prize for second and third place, as specified in the original contest post. That prize is a small set of coins from either Norway, Sweden or Denmark and you can give your preference here.

My guess is 12-21-2016

While I love Morgan dollars and collect those, for this contest I would love to win an ancient coin from Norway for my wife's foreign coin collection.

Great Contest!!

Thanks...Mont.

Now I'm at the 400 post mark, time to make up a balance so far.

Executive summary of the rules!

It seems we have some CEO's around here, so here's the executive summary:

- You predict when I make my 1000th post, but do so before I have posted 750 times.
- You pick the prize you want to win! Anything you want, as long as it's realistic and feasible. There's not even a need to keep it into numismatics.
- For the runners up (2nd and 3rd place) I have a set of small change from either Norway, Denmark or Sweden. Pick your favorite.
- The three guesses closest to the 1000th post date will win. First come, first serve for the date pick. The most creative prize suggestion of these three wins the contest.
- Do NOT edit your post with the date guess, as you are then disqualified. If you want to update your prize suggestion, make a new post.

Hope this helps...

* member not yet 'valued member', so needs to participate a bit more to have a valid guess.

We need 7 more 'valued members' to participate before the contest is 'valid', or 6 if twinkinator keeps on posting. Sure we can do that!

I like Canadian silver dollars but would gladly accept your choice.
For 2nd or 3rd something from Sweden would be fine.
Thanks for the contest.

If I win, I'd like a US silver coin, any denomination, really. And I'd love any coin sets from those countries mentioned.
