I would love it. I can contribute to this idea. Just give us the details of what kind of contest you would like.

I can give away some Australian coins - but you would have to answer
Questions about Australia/Australia Coins. Just for variety.
Not about American Coins
No standing on your head needed to figure out answers.
(Questions would be from down under)
No shrimp
No barbies

I would love that. What I like about contests is the knowledge that you gain.  I need a little bit of time before we kick off our first contest. Maybe we can start one on Saturday? That would give me a couple of days to make sure everything is running smooth. |

I agree simple but researchable- It should not be something that a "collector" would NOT know with out having to check one book or link- Except National Dealer- I think he has all this stuff in his head

And I'm trying real hard to catch up to you.  I agree that the questions should involve some type of research, even if it is information that can be found on the internet. |

Thank you, ND. If you want to start a new thread, I'll make it sticky until the contest is over. That way it will stay visible throughout. |

SIMPLE!!! Why that is my middle name and simple answers ought to keep me in the game! Actually the easier it is, well, the less embarrassing this could be, especially to a new or novice collector.(or someone like me) I have been collecting for 30 years and every time I get on a forum I find out just how much I DON"T KNOW and quite honestly I am amazed at the folks (collectors) who actually STUDY their coins or specific issues! I mean every little detail and then they manage to come up with die numbers? If I can just grade the darn thing I am happy so there are many of us playing in completely different ballparks when it comes to coins! Lets keep that in mind and remember I will setting over here on the bench!!!
