So I reached 50 posts the other day...Not that they are all "quality posts" but they are 50 just the same.

I would like to host a contest, and it is a guessing game.

Two questions, two small prizes.

The prizes are 2 circulated 1976 Bicentennial Type 2 Ike Silver dollars - one for each question.

Hopefully that prize is not too Lame, but hey I only hit 50 posts so it is a small Milestone.

I will ask the first question about myself and wait for the winner before I post the second question. You can only win once...That is why I am not posting both question simultaneously.

So here is the first question:

What was the first coin that I purchased as a kid? I paid $.25 for it.

2nd Question

I recently found a Wheat penny to fill a whole in my still incomplete penny folder. Where did I find it?

No winners yet, Sorry you can only guess once per question.


Some sharp players in Oz (nancyc), but you got to post to the forum to win.

Arthrene wins the first part of my contest.

It was a steel penny. I thought it was the coolest coin I ever saw (at the time). And what a deal a quarter for a penny.

Now for the second question. See my original post for the edit...
