I'm past due for my 500th post contest, but better late than never. I have some extra silver taking up space on my desk that I'll give as the prize. It includes: A 2004 ASE (from a roll so it has a few small rim nicks and a small spot) A BU 1963 Washington quarterAn Ugly 1958 Mexican Peso A heavily toned 1918 French Franc Here are the rules: 1) For all members with 50 or more posts.
2) Everybody gets one opportunity to correctly identify all the fish on the following coins from my themed collection. I want common names, no scientific lingo. You also don't have to be overly specific (for instance trout will suffice. You don't have to say rainbow trout, brook trout etc.)
3) In the event of a tie, please also guess the weight of the largest fish that I have caught.
4) The contest closes Sunday at 8:30 pm ET(after the Simpson's). If you don't want your answers stolen, you might want to post right before closing.Disclaimer: Since this is my contest, if you don't agree with my answers...too bad. I have caught or at least seen all of these fish. With the exception of #3, most of the answers are fairly easy to find. If there are any questions, feel free to post them before you post your answer. Good luck!1.  2.  3.  4.  5.  6.  7.  8.  9.  10.  Edited because I have the grammar of a cave manEdited by snowman

For those who didn't already know Snowman's avatar is a Sydney Year 2000 Games Silver Coin. It's called Sharks & Coral.
Not that it matters, but it is a nice coin.

Thanks! The whole Olympic flora and fauna series is actually a very well designed set. quote:
Five pounds, matey!
To paraphrase Quint from the movie Jaws, "You're going to need a bigger boat." With 25 hours left the contest is still wide open. So far there is one clear leader, but no one is 100% |
