I have to admit; this is not an original idea! I was inspired by chris12018's contest where he had folks guess the number of wheats in a box of cents he just picked up at the bank. Here is what I am going to do. I have a box ready to go through sitting right here on my desk.

Here is where my contest differs: The winner of this will get a 2000 Lincoln Cent with Wide AM Reverse, AND a coin that I have had kicking around my desk for the longest time (might as well give it a home!) a Gem Proof 1962 Jefferson nickel. Nothing special about it, just a nice solid Proof coin. Here is my twist on chris12018's contest: You need to guess the number of 2000 dated Lincoln Cents I will find in the box! This allows for a large range of guesses! Even though I will know the answer in a few hours, I will run the contest until midnight tomorrow (Saturday 3/7) night to allow for a number of entries. Only members with 50+ posts are eligible. GOOD LUCK!

Here are pictures of the prizes: (really "quickie" photos, just like the contest!)

NOTE: The spots on the nickel are on the flip, not the coin. The coin is really clean!

My guess is 62 2000 LMC in your box.It will be extra neat to win the 1962 5 cent piece because that's my birth year.
