Joe Coins 100th Post Contest!

There has been no shortage of contests lately but I'm feeling the contest spirit. The approaching holiday of expressing thanks also provides an appropriate atmosphere to hold a contest in as I am very thankful to everyone on this forum for the knowledge you all have shared. So to express my gratitude I shall offer a small token of my appreciation to commemorate my 100th post.

The contest shall be a guessing game. Out of the 174 regular business strike Jefferson nickels, I need 2 more to complete the series. Four of them I have bought which should be an easy 4 to eliminate, leaving 170 possible answers. So the obvious question, which nickels are the last two that I need to complete the set?

I only want you to guess one nickel on your post. Each member shall get one guess per day which should make for a fairly short contest. There are two prizes and hopefully two winners! The first person to guess correctly will get first choice out of the lot. I'm aiming for both winners to win this weekend so I can send out the prizes Monday with the hope that they arrive before Thanksgiving. Guessing shall not commence until 12:00pm (noon) Eastern Standard Time Saturday so that people have a chance to see this. Lastly, if only one person guesses correctly on Saturday, then that same person can win the second choice on Sunday.

Now the prize. Well this is really the hardest part to come up with. What can I afford to give away that others will still appreciate? Well I came up with a few of ideas and then I figured that the best way to interest the most people is by giving the winner(s) a choice. These may not be super exciting coins but I feel they are O.K. coins to pick from for my 1st contest.

So, this is what I come up with:

2000 Lincoln Cent WAM - has a lot of scratches on the obverse.
No date Buffalo nickel - maybe someone wants to use nicadate.
1951S Roosevelt dime - about vf
1964 Washington quarter - about vf
1966 Kennedy half - blackened obverse
1980S Susan B. Anthony dollar - maybe someone needs an S today

These pictures are essentially useless but I just want to get this posted so these are the pics for now.





Hopefully I have not over-complicated this contest by deciding to change it to two winners. Good luck everyone!
