So is there a winner? Or can we guess more than once? Just curious about the end result lol.

Best I can figure out, you're the preliminary winner (having got most of the dates right).

Joseph7420 had persuaded me not to end this contest until all the coins' dates had been guessed correctly (which is still not the case). He does not have the best guess anymore (though it's close), so if you're tired of the contest I suppose we might end it early (at least, if there's no other guesses until the 2nd of June).

You can probably try to guess again if you want - it's been over a month - but you're so close that, unless you happen to guess just right, it will probably only be worse, and might be problematic for your status as the preliminary winner.

Well it's your contest, you can do what you want. The 2nd of June sounds good to me. I don't care to guess again now lol. A few were stabs in the dark, lol. I'm mostly just curious about what the dates actually are lol.

It is my second CCF anniversary today. That was the latest date I seriously considered as the deadline for this contest.

I have still not done the significant thing I mentioned in the opening post (and in fact I'm not even sure which one it was, because there are two significant things I have yet to do, and I could easily have meant either), and ultimately no one had guessed all the dates correctly.
(And the member with the best guess had not been seen since 2017.)

In addition, I later found that the clues might not have been correct anyway: on one of the coins, the date might actually have been on the side shown in the photo (the coin was too worn to tell).

I'm considering restarting this as a second-anniversary contest, though I'd probably use other (more recently bought) coins, and have different clues.

Looking forward to any thoughts of how to deal with this!

(...Though it's still neat that I even made it to my second CCF anniversary.)
