Another educational somewhat tricky coin collector contestEligible members need
50 quality post minimum and two weeks as a member here on CCF and prizes will be mailed by me to
members from
US UK CANADA and AUSTRALIA only.1st prize
2nd prize
3rd prize
Are all the same but 1st prize may be a tad better coins
1943 P problem free in at least AU original steel cent, 1938 problem free mid grade and 1951 S better grade
Jefferson nickels and a 2011 P GLACIER MONTANA BU quarter.
Here's how this works,
Just post the answers, not the questions with the answers.
I would say that simply using copy and pasting the answers that somebody else worked for will disqualify you.
My call. No arguments, the purpose of this is educational and fun, so do the research.
The first person to get 100% correct posted closest to the time
after I get 4000 posts will win 1st prize,
second closest with 100% will get 2nd prize and third closest to the time with 100% correct after I get 4000 posts will win 3rd prize.
The answers may be close to being exactly correct that you give and they may be accepted if close enough.
I will post the winners, Again, my call.
Much of this information, except the math question, can be found right here in this forum.
