Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 11/28/2015 09:49 am I'd like to hear a follow up after the show to find out how many if any winners they had. They used to do coin drops of valuable coins around the ANA convention. After several years of doing it though I believe only one of the "dropped" coins turned back up.

CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12819 Posts	Posted 11/28/2015 3:51 pm Fun! I wonder how many of these nickels will actually get noticed and even if so, if the owner has any clue what it means. Houston's a darn big city and if they don't advertise well, I can't imagine even one being turned in. I suppose it all depends where they drop them though. Report this Post to the Staff

Unless I read the "article" if you could call it that wrong I don't think the club dropped a 1914D or a 1955 Doubled Die Lincoln or a 1943 copper Lincoln. "And a double-die New York quarter could be worth a couple thousand, as well. But the big one to watch out for is the rare 1943 copper penny. Depending on its condition, it could be worth a cool million." I think the author was pointing out if you look check your change you may find a valuable coin that has been in circulation prior to the dropping of the numbered nickels. It seems that they are giving out cash prizes and I hope the logged the date and mintmark the correlates to each number to prevent scammers. The Racine Coin Club around here did the same thing a couple of years ago where they edge lettered some Buffalo nickels and then put them into circulation and if you found one you got free admission to the show.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 11/29/2015 4:29 pm How about releasing some a little more common, but harder to find such as a hundred or so 1950D nickels, in say VF condition? That would give ALL of those who care to look, a consoling consolation prize. Report this Post to the Staff
