Hi everybody! This is going to be my first official 10,000 post contest!  Here's how it's going to works. These are the rules of the contest. I'll post a couple of error coins, and if you can guess them correctly, without cheating by looking them up, you will win a prize! You'll get one prize for each coin number you guess correctly (for an example, if you guess coin #1 correctly, you'll win one prize from the coin number only). Who ever guesses one of the errors first correctly wins (for an example, if someone posts the correct answer first, and then the second person post the correct answer right after the first correct answer, then the first person still wins, because the other person guessed it too late). I'm testing everybody's knowledge on here for fun! The contest will only end, when everybody has guess all of the error coins correctly (there's no time limit for this contest). Have fun and good luck on the contest!I will randomly give prizes away to whoever gets one correct first. You'll end up with a random prize. Coin #1
 Coin #2
 Coin #3   Coin #4
 Coin #5
 Coin #6
Coin #7     Coin #8
 Please read this carefully. Now there's only 2 coins coins left to guess correctly. That's coin number #3, and coin #7.

John1, you got coin#1, coin#4, and coin#5 correct Congratulations John1! I'll be giving you one 2015 WDDO-006, and two bags of minor untributed RPM's from 1960 D. The other ones were incorrectly guessed, so the contest will keep going.

I mostly agree with John but I'll say 3 is a MAD, 6 is a die clash, and 8 is severe Die Deterioration. I'm just a rookie though |

CoinBuffalo, you got one correct. You got coin #8 correct. Congratulation! You'll win one prize. You'll win one 2015 WDDO-006 "Best Of Variety". There's now only four coins left to guess correctly, which means that only four prizes are left to give away.

Neat contest. Since I just won one of Spruetts prizes I will refrain from joining this one.
Good luck to all and congrats on 10,000 posts!

Tanman, you got coin #6 and coin #5 corect. Congratulations! You'll win one 2015 WDDO-006 "Best Of Variety", and one 2015 P WDDR-003. For coin #2, I'm looking for this answer. Did the Lamination happen before the strike, or after the strike (that's a small hint I'll give).
By the way, thank you coinbuffalo and MontCollector!

How many guesses do we get? John1 |

One guess each, and if you get any of the coins I post correct with your guess, you will win. If you get any wrong with your first guess, you're out. There's only 3 coins left to guess. I hope I made it fair to everyone, as I want everybody to get a chance. If a ton of time has gone by, and no one has guessed the other 3 coins correctly, then I'll give everyone a second guess.
At the very top, I have crossed out the coin #'s that people guessed correctly, meaning that they won, and that coin # is no longer open to guessing.

YNumismetalsCollector, good guesses, but unfortunately none of them were correct. (I'll give you a big hint on coin #3. It's call a Sti____ Collar Strike). Thank you very much for playing and participating though!  Errers and Varietys.

Thanks for the contest and the prizes!
Also, I have no idea what 7 is if I got it wrong.

You're very welcome Tanman2001! Coin #7 has something cracked on the surfaces, caused by Pre Strike Damage at the U.S. Mint (that's a big hint). Any more guesses anyone? This contest will still be going, until someone has guessed the remaining error coins correctly.  Errers and Varietys.
