 .........................  ...It's gonna be a "post-a-coin-with-a date/year" contest, spanning 1900 through 1999. I'll post the rules at a later date ... ...The prize is pictured above. It's difficult for me to capture the really great quality of casting & finish of this coin ... really top-notch (IMHO) ... I bought this at the Memphis Coin Show on Feb. 21 (this year) from fellow CCF member "BEEM" (wondycoin / Wondy Numismatics on ebay ... I've bought several coins from Ben, & have been pleased with my purchases ... nice guy & good prices) ... ...I'll post update notices over the next few weeks. I had 30+ participants in my last contest & hope for at least that many ... this is a nicer coin (than before), & it's graded & slabbed ... ...hope to see all ya'all participating ...

@Sharks..."Keeping an eye out for the rules...."   ...just kidding, Shark, & my apologies to Alfonso Bedoya, playing "Gold Hat" in the "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" ... ...I'll post the rules the day before the contest, as I'm undecided exactly how to play this one...thanks for your patience & stay tuned...

Find a park (or golf course), throw a low grade, common Morgan dollar as far as you can. Measure the distance and have us guess. |

...pretty good idea, ijn1944 ... may I borrow a dollar?...lol ... seriously, I'm gonna do a 'PICK-A-DATE', from 1900 - 1999, & you show a photo of your coin with the date you choose ... last time I limited everyone to 1 coin per day, but I may do 2 coins/dates per day to speed things along ... Haven't quite decided, & haven't decided whether to include a 2nd prize ... I'll keep tabs of everyone's choices, & update the still available dates 2-4 times a day, maybe more ... depends on the frequency of participation ... did this last year, & it took over 2 weeks to complete (with one choice per day) ... we'll get to see 100 different coins & hope to have a lot of participants ...
...will post the specific rules within 48-24 hours of contest start ... hope to see ya there...best of luck ...John
