However, he would be the current leader if he did post it. Best I can tell, Dorado is the current leader at $881,250 (2013 Stack's/Bowers auction for an MS68 1889-CC) I know you got something to add, Crazyb0!

For example a 1999 WAM is fair, but one random 2009 LP2 doubled thumb variety should allow any roughly comparable variety to win on day 1. - No foot in the door posts. Posts edited to add photos are disqualified! - In the event of a dispute, there will be a duel to the death the challenger (or mods) will decide the winner. - If the challenger or new challenger goes AWOL for more than 24 hours, the second place winner gets to pick the next coin. If all else fails, jbuck gets to go. - If you don't have a coin, be sure to spam "GO FISH" to boost your post count I'll get us started with an easy one in the spirit of the HFBCWG thread: Great Britain "Cartwheel" twopence, 1797 @ spruett001 Quote: However, he would be the current leader if he did post it The 1913 Liberty Head Nickel is one of the most valuable coins in the world. Only 5 specimens are confirmed to exist, although there is an intriguing hint that there might be a sixth. The finest-known 1913 Liberty nickel is valued at a minimum of $5 million, the price for which it sold in May of 2007. https://www.thespruce.com/1913-libe...ickel-768780 Edited by Dorado 12/17/2017 05:43 am Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 190400 Posts	Posted 12/18/2017 09:23 am I think it should count. We are posting imitations and I am sure that more than ten imitation 1913 Liberty Head nickels exist.

Yes, that is certainly the most obvious giveaway. Abe looks unhappy and squinty. Thanks for posting!

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 12/19/2017 12:16 am Results: It has been over three days since the challenge began. I don't think the member with the V nickel will find the invite or this topic any time soon. I was a little unfamiliar with some of the "coins" posted, but I researched the best I could to get a close range of value (if real). With that information, there is a clear-cut winner: Dorado! With a potential of well over $800,000, the competition pales. Rough placement: 1. Dorado ($881,250 auction record) 2. mysilveryears ($340,750 auction record) 3. Spence (record depends on variety: $141,000 max) 4. bd251 ($5,750 auction record) 5. fourmack ($2,200 record for an UNC example in 2016) 6. Finn235 ($995 by the vcoins sale) 7. Joseph7420 (participation award ) Note: the auction record for what I posted is $7.59 Million. It was the only legal auction of the coin whereby half of the sold price went to the U.S. government. The torch has been passed to you, Dorado.
