In honor of my upcoming 500th post, I would like to offer everyone the chance to win a full roll of 1920's and 1930's LWC's. The goal is simple: correctly guess the year that my family came to the 'New World' as it were. I am related to several key figures in American history and as this competition moves forward I will drop those hints to you all.

An additional prize will be given to the person who can name the ship they came over on. This will be difficult, but not impossible. As for the prize, it will be an authentic ancient silver coin from the Ottoman Empire

Please limit your guesses to once/day. The competition for the LWC's ends as soon as the correct date is guessed. The competition for the Ottoman coin ends on March 20th, 2012 at noon. Well, what are you waiting for? Start guessing!
