I recently hit the 250 post mark. I waited to do a contest until now because this one isn't going to be easy. And I have never seen one like this.

Due to cost of shipping I have to limit this to North American members only....sorry. Yes this includes Canada.

I have often heard "I wonder how that coin got there?"
Well now is your chance to answer the question.

Here are the "rules"

1.Pick a Classic(or older) coin from your collection in really bad condition from use.
2.Post a pic here. (to show your entry.)So people know who they are up against...lol
3. Email or pm me Story about how your coin got that bad. Through your coins "eyes". Make it up based loosely on actual historical events if you want to.

Standard font 3 pages max 1.5 min. PDF preferred. email address given upon request for those that want to type it using program and email that way.

Hint a coin that sits buried in ground or on bottom of ocean kind of makes for a boring life...IMHO

My wife will be judging the stories. The most creative wins.


Now for the prizes.

1st Place.

So far I have 1 confirmed entry. There are 3 day left until all stories must be turned in.

If there is only one entry I will give that member their choice of 2 of the 4 slabs.
