 Anyone else interested in this round? It feels like the challenges are dying because nobody wants to win any more. |

Sure, I'll join for participation. This one may only be a year old, but Honest Abe's a bit of an old soul.  This was the first coin a found in 2020. I added it to my pocket just to see how it would fare. |

In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020
In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024

I've just been observing, but  . I have been trying to kick off my own game, but it hasn't been getting attention. I wonder if the community is losing interest in the games |

I have been trying to kick off my own game, but it hasn't been getting attention. What was it about? I might be interested, depending on the topic/gameplay. Quote:
Hard to come up with new ideas for this game You don't have to come up with new ideas, some old-style "match the country/date/denomination" rounds work just as well. Or just recycle some old ideas from the first few hundred pages that hadn't been used in a while. One thing I've done a few times when struggling to come up with an idea was to hit the Random button on Numista until I came across a coin I had in my collection, then try to think of something involving that coin. It didn't always work, but when it did it seemed to work fairly well. |

I might have to make an executive decision.  |

I might have to make an executive decision. I'm making one myself instead: @spruett001's coin was released in July 2020, so it beats @Numisma's coin. Neat pocket piece, though! I want to do this myself some day, but I wanted to start with a proof shield cent and hadn't managed to find a sufficiently cheap one yet. (Do they even still make zinc-based proof cents?) |
